It’s hard to describe how terrible the coverage of southern miss is with the clarion ledger. Pathetic. They lost LSU scores more than southern miss. It’s horrible

1:01 Of course it's a plan. It's no longer very profitable for the big boys to invest in local print news media so sell something else. Something less expensive but "socially relevant". That's especially true in semi -literate small markets. Get your local sports elsewhere.

For whatever reason Mississippi doesn't see USM as a real university. And yet they beat the mighty Bear Bryant and Alabama that year

Notice how thin the sports section is. Four pages on a Sunday.

The large majority of the people The Clarion-Ledger thinks it is helping don’t read the publication or any other news. All they read is useless social media garbage.

I never followed sports that much but I did go to USM, and am used to it being a non-issue except for gloating from the northern universities when they beat "Hardy High"...I do remember from my days delivering the Clarion Ledgers' Sunday comics being "20 BIG PAGES OF FUN".

I remember a running argument I had with a CL apologist. The sum of his argument was, "We are big. We are powerful. Just say, 'thank you, may I have another.' We do what we want and there is nothing you can do about it."

Guess what big boy. People did something about it. I shed no tears for the CL's death.

It used to take me a couple days to read the Sunday clarion ledger cover to cover now it takes 30 minutes and most of that is in the comics. Sad days

This has been going on since the late 80’s. Pathetic coverage that thinks JSU is a D1 school.

F the CL.

It’s been intentionally done since David The Clown Hampton was there.

F David Hampton too.

Kingfish: This one sicko mentions jews all the time even when they aren’t related to the topic

Also Kingfish: Why does everything suck so much? Who is responsible for all of this? There is no way this is more than a cohencidence?!

Old miss is all this paper knows and most of the TV stations also

Big Media sports snobs. I am glad, however, to know this. And I wouldn’t have since I dropped my Clarion-Error subscription back in 2001 after their coverage of a different issue that is no longer to be mentioned by Big Media and The Powers That Be (but I repeat myself).

News has never been more real time or accessible than it is now. Unfortunately I keep running from echo chamber to echo chamber trying to find the middle.

Where is USM located. I have only lived in Mississippi with my family for 3 years?

"Where is USM located. I have only lived in Mississippi with my family for 3 years?" Down in Happyburg/Hattiesburg! Great city!

No aspect of modern life in this country has been a bigger victim of the incompetence of DEI than the news/newspaper business, especially where Gannett is the owner. Haven't wasted my time on CL in years.

I'm sorry your family chose Mississippi. You're one of maybe six residents who have no farkin' idea how to use a search engine. Condolences to 'your family'.

Yeah, it sucks that the C-L blows off USM even though they have a nationally respected baseball program, but the C-L has bigger issues than a Sports Section that is not big enough to cover my cat's litter box.

Haven't read it on years.

Never heard anyone say that. They are real enough. Just a few minutes ago it was announced they are getting one of the 16 host sites in baseball regionals this year. I don't suppose that will get Clarion Ledger attention, though.

The Clarion Ledger had a quick 20 year period when it almost became a credible newspaper actually covering most of the local news and sports. Before, it was a one-sided racist rag ignoring or belittling half the population while representing the ruling good ole boys. Now, it has become a half-ass pamphlet belittling the whole state and representing those who have no interest in Mississippi or it's actual news. But there was a moment in time.....just a moment.

This lack of Southern Miss coverage is why I cancelled my subscription.

The Clarion Ledger is a bad paper. On that, there is no debate. I subscribe still to the digital edition because it is cheap and I still like the Ole Miss beat writer Sam Hutchens, who does a good job on Twitter and covering the team on line. However, if I were USM, where two of my kids graduated from, I would certainly be upset with no coverage, especially the way the baseball team has been playing. Kudos to them for getting a regional also, along with Ole Miss.

The Sun Herald covers USM. You should subscribe to both Gannett papers.

Corporations own most all our sources of information. They are for profit and one of the largest isn't owned by Americans.

They never cover non-SEC here because they own the Hattiesburg Commarican. They think that's statewide coverage. Both are a joke.

The dozens of mustard buzzard fans are outraged!

it's a scandal, the C-L's ignoring Southern baseball. Put Mitchell on it. He will unerringly dig up the racial angle on it and blow the whole thing wide open. Can you make your mouth say "Pulitzer"?

The Clarion Ledger would report on an Ole Miss loss rather than any other school’s win. I’ve seen it happen many times before.

When was the last time CL reported any sports news about Millsaps, Belhaven or MC? Much less Alcorn, Valley, or Delta State? And forget about Community College sports.

@11:20 - a better question is why do any of those schools even have sports teams?

Remember when Rick Cleveland wrote for them?

He sucked then. He still sucks now, over at MS Today.

I always roll my window up when riding past Hardy Street High. They typically try to throw a diploma through the window based on past work experience...

A 'four page sports section'? At least that's what you suggest. You might want to revise.

You still have 'roll-up' windows and expect credibility? Thump out that butt and light another.
