The NEW & IMPROVED Trey Lance Thread

Duh. Cause the Twin Cities is the center of the universe.

How true! Lived there for awhile and absolutely every world event had to have a Twin Cities connection. If that was not possible, then there was ALWAYS a Minnesota connection. It got very old after awhile. The whole dang world had to revolve around MN and particularly 'da cities'.

This is the Minneapolis Star Tribune we’re taking about right? Can’t imagine why their coverage would be Minnesota and Twin Cities centric.

That's true of most cities. If you want national news go to the national news stations/shows. The local news will mostly cover local news and a lot of national stories include local connections. For example, our local news will mention medal counts at the Olympics, but focus on any athletes from the state, who attended college in the state, or played professionally in the state. When Greg Oden was drafted first in the NBA, the headline referred to him as a Lawrence North grad and not an Ohio State grad.

according to Star Tribune headline.. Trey didn't goto NDSU. #ButtHurt

Marshall's Trey Lance leads 49ers to win over Houston in 2nd career start

I have to disagree, the Star Trib has had articles about NDSU many times, including articles NOT from the AP, but from their own writers.
He went to Marshall and is a MN kid. Why does it matter if they mention his college from another state?
Were they wrong with the headline? Was he not from Marshall, MN? People in the TC probably don't care he went to NDSU, but more so that he is a MN kid.

I don't see anything to be #ButtHurt about here.

I'm an NDSU homer, but he was only our quarterback for 1 year, and was a Marshall player for more than that.

I was thinking more about TV news coverage. They tried just too hard to have a MN connection to every global event every day. Obviously, they should have local coverages and connections if relevant. Too many times the connection was irrelevant like the grandmother of someone that once visited the site of the news worthy item.
Our local news does similar connections, just not every day.

Correct, and also, the article was an AP article, all the Trib did was add the headline.

If Carson Wentz went to LSU, would an article from the Bismarck Tribune say, "LSU QB Carson Wentz leads 49ers over Houston in 2nd career start"
Or would it say, "Bismarck's Carson Wentz"

Pretty obvious answer there.
Nothing to be upset about with this headline.

...When Greg Oden was drafted first in the NBA....

Ugh, just ugh. I had successfully repressed that memory. Now this. Thanks a lot, Indy.

Sorry. He was a great guy, but I never thought he was a great player. He attended the high school my kids attended. I remember seeing him a high school sophomore. Along with Mike Conley (all-time Memphis Grizzly scorer) they led the team to 3 straight state championships. He was big, but he didn't appear to have any basketball moves. Most of his points were on put backs or passes caught at the rim. He developed some in college, but still was mostly just a big guy. It's unfortunate he had so many injuries, because he may have been a serviceable NBA player. He's now starting at the bottom to try to have a coaching career.

I remember looking at that decision between him and KD as #1 overall in the draft. On one hand, you had Durant. He was very young but he looked full of energy but a bit raw and really lanky. On the other hand was Oden. The dude looked like an old man already, not just in the face but with the way he moved and the speed at which he played. I never understood why people were surprised by his injury bug.
