But a couple of callers wondered why we would give prominent play to UNLV — Oregon’s opponent Friday in the NCAA Midwest Regional — in Tuesday’s paper rather than do something big on the Ducks. The fact is, the piece on the Runnin’ Rebels came out of The Associated Press bureau in Nevada, and it was the only wire story that moved Monday pertaining to the that matchup. We figured something was better than nothing. Why not do a story ourselves, you might ask. Our staffing on Mondays is thin, and I’m guessing access to the team would have been difficult as they returned late Sunday from Spokane and began preparations to head to St. Louis. In a conversation with AP in Portland, I was told we’d be getting stories on the Ducks the next couple of days, and we’re hopeful of lining up freelance help to enhance our coverage this week and possibly beyond — similar to what we do during the football season. I hope that sheds some light. This entry was posted on Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 at 1:19 pm and is filed under Sports Insiders . You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.
