JEEZ...LIKE WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS SHOT BEFORE... |
Last night the #4 Blue Devils routed the lowly Demon Deacons
and Yahoo! Sports included 34 photos of their rout. Conversly, the #15 Virginia Cavaliers crushed
Georgia Tech, a victory worthy of 10 photos.
#8 North Carolina got back on track in Blacksburg and the
obviously pro-Duke editors at Yahoo! Sports deemed that effort worth three
photos.
Unranked N.C. State whipped up on BC and was rewarded with
two images.
While it makes sense that the highest ranked teams get the most
ink (a policy we follow at T.A.H., see Clemson and Virginia Tech during
football season and UNC and Duke during basketball season), is Duke ranked
three times higher than Virginia and ten time higher that North Carolina?
And before you say it, it has nothing to do with the
geographic location of the event and the availability of photographers to AP,
Getty or US Presswire. Durham, NC is
hardly a media center.
So, we have tasked our crack T.A.H. Research Department to
investigate where the top honchos at Yahoo! Sports went to school and if that
plays a role in their obvious pro-Duke bias…
Ok, ok, we’re kidding.
(Sort of kidding…)
You know, satire, parody, humor that sort of thing.
(Not really)
(Editor's Note: The published photos of the Duke/Wake game were taken by Grant Halverston for Getty Images...we aren't bustin on the photog, he did some great work.)
