You'd expect to get coverage in Cincy (which we have) and the host city (Phoenix). Really not much of an X presence on the national radio/TV outlets.

Here's another one from AZ.
Did this actually happen or is it a Hillaryism?

<I've taken issue with guys who expect every story to have a pro-Xavier slant.>

WOW! Now there is a real eye-opener. Neutral (?) takes issue with anyone who has a pro-Xavier slant!

<Really not much of an X presence on the national radio/TV outlets>

I would suggest you examine each day's USA Mr Neutral (?). It merely has a national two plus million readership and gets a zillion web hits every day. There, even the Xavier band got recognized. But then you surely think they don't play well anyway. Sean has been on various ESPN shows all week. A few folks might even watch that network.

All this from a "expert" who said in December we'd be a "bubble" team. How do you expect Xavier to get any national pub as a "Bubble" team????

So Mr Neutral (?) .. to quote Oddball (in Kelly's Hero's circa 1970):

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how great this is? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? I mean like so many positive waves maybe we can't lose!
