I'm a journalist. Small fish at a medium-sized paper.
Where should I be looking? Thanks.
I'm Kenny Ocker, and I'm the managing editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald, the student newspaper at the University of Oregon. As a pet project, I'm going to be covering the Eugene Emeralds all...
I saw the previous off-topic post had about 1,200 comments and was beginning to bog my computer down, so I decided to take my recent life experience and turn it into a new OT thread. So, I went out...
I did an essay on the media side of the Mariners for my media economics class at the University of Oregon. I thought what I ended up finding was pretty interesting, so I wanted to share my work with you all. Also, I cited Jay Yencich, proving that my work is legitimate.
Apparently, a fake Togolese national team lost a 3-0 friendly against Bahrain, and the national sanctioning body had no idea this happened. I just thought this was so bizarre that it needed to be shared, and I don't really follow any other soccer/football blogs, so I put it here. Alternative headlines: Togo or not Togo, that is the question Togolese coach: "My team didn't show up." Team decides not Togo to Bahrain Togo a no-go in Bahrain
(The above is a Mariners promotion/Rick Rizzs soundboard.) Holy crap is Rizzs creepy when taken out of context.
If you scroll down to April 30th, it says the Mariners activated Jack Hannahan from the DL and then put him back in Tacoma. Normally, Yahoo!'s transactions page is incredibly accurate, but nobody picked up on this development anywhere, so I don't know whether or not to believe it. Does the community have any thoughts on whether this actually happened, and if so, why it happened?
