Bias has nothing to do with disliking or favoring a team. That happens in all sports. Is everyone who roots for Alabama biased against those from Auburn? No. Bias is a PREJUDICE against or in favor of a thing, person or group compared to another, usually in a way considered unfair. Sort of like what...

Who's ranting? Just making my point, that' all. Got to get the public informed first. Too bad the TD has everyone on here snookered, and most can't see that there is definitely a bias toward some schools and programs.

Now let's see if the Tribdem has enough guts to call it like it is.

Thanks, Crimson, for your support. Fair is fair.

Down by the score of 49-7 in the fourth quarter last night, headlines of the Richland game read, "Southern Columbia Fights Off Richland". Of course, PSU men's basketball headline was, "Penn State Wallops Struggling Syracuse" with a 19 ...

Actually, I should be a little smarter tomorrow. I'm sure, after tonight's PSU loss to Mississippi, that the tribune will tell all of us Ole Miss's predicted finish in the SEC, just like it did with K-State in the Big 12 in the Pitt article. Can't wait for the reveal.
