    Haha, well, the sports department is all tarheel grads.

    It's an awful newspaper.

    True, it is a moon scenario. Still, people still don't see it.

    There's no real denying it however.

    I usually buy a few copies of the Observer when Duke wins it all. This time I'll just take my dad's sub and send my extra $2 along to Sports Illustrated. They know how to honor a champion, the Observer just wants to pander to morons.

    As a Niner fan, it's been obvious for a very, very long time. We even had the sports editor, a CH grad no less, come on NN.N and talk crap.

    There's a lot more UNC fans than Duke fans. So there's a lot more collective interest in UNC than Duke.

    Whatever, been over this ad nauseum on NN.N so I'm sort of over it. The coverage is obviously biased and the O doesn't give a rat's ass if it's so obvious. At least other non Niner fans can see it now.

    Sure. That's why the championship game last year was ranked so much higher than this year. Wait..

    There's also a huge difference between the city edition and the early edition as far as front page coverage on late night stories.

    Looks the same as every other edition I've seen. I saw the same thing last night at CVS.

    No one on the Observer thread where this pic was posted mentioned another edition. Do you think the media coverage is the same?
