I believe many of you are missing the point. First of all, to say the Salina Journal has inferior coverage is totally wrong. You obviously don't read the Wichita, Topeka, and Hutchison papers on a regular basis (just to name a few) or you would realize that the Journal surpasses these papers by leaps and bounds. How many of these papers even have all-area teams with full-page layouts and a front page picture?
Secondly, it is not a perfect system and not everyone is going to be satisfied. Even the BCS can't get it right and that's just a slightly bigger deal than this. I feel we should all be grateful for the coverage and commend the people for the job they do. If you want to be disappointed, be disappointed with all the other major papers in this state.
