    Default Bismarck Tribune major fail

    Anyone see the print copy of the Bismarck Tribune today? I not able to upload a picture right now, so if someone out west can do that, please do so.

    On the front cover the Tribune has the caption: "FCS PLAYOFFS Bison, Jackrabbits prepare for rematch." Next to it they have the UN_ logo.

    I swear, they do this shit on purpose.

    Just pulled up their website and they have a Bison logo.

    I'm guessing they caught their mistake after the first print run, which is usually the out-state addition. Both the web site story and the e-edition front page have a Bison logo.
    Damn, I'm Good!

    Much more likely: some editor is kicking somebody's butt right now. Journalists do not make such mistakes on purpose. Print journalists in particular are quite sensitive to the difficulties newspapers are having just staying alive and accuracy is critical to success.
    Go Jackrabbits!

    I wish I could believe that, but I've seen way too many super obvious dumb mistakes in the Minot Daily to believe it.

    I agree with JackJD, but it's hard to imagine that anyone who pays any attention to college sports in ND confuses UND and NDSU logos.
    UND = Hockey, NDSU = Football. What's so hard about that? Whoever picks the photos got a severe reprimand today.
