While I am an avid RPI fan, I feel that Roger Wyland (or whoever does
the sports) should pay more attention to Union.  I usually watch the
11PM news, and the last time I remember hearing about Union was at least
a month ago (i don't have a very good memory).  I feel that Ed
Dague(sp?) should not show quite as much bias towards one team or
another during the news cast.  I remember a few days ago the two anchors
were willing to wait until the commercial break to discuss an issue of
something totally reasonable, why can't they do the same for their
opinions on sports?
 
Please reply to this as soon as possible.
