Various reasons = Because it's gossipy and it helps (tremendously) that she's a hotty. The fact that she's an OU grad? Eh, so what. It feeds into the stereotypical story line that she's a spoiled rich girl, raised by a rich, doting and ignorant mother, and is dating the local sports hero. People love to see that kind of person get torn down to size. Even if she's really not that kind of person, the media will help portray her that way, and too many people will lap up the story. It's high-profile dirt, nothing more.

Well, this is a college board, where football and basketball are king, but Major League baseball still maintains a significant edge in popularity over the NBA and NHL.

I have lots of friends I like to talk baseball with and I prefer to talk baseball more than any other sport. I don't come here to talk baseball much.  In general, I don't watch any NBA, and I only watch the NFL if it's my favorite team or it's the Superbowl. I love both football and basketball, but I follow Bobcat football and hoops religiously as much due to the personal connection to The University as the sports themselves.

But a LOCAl FOX affiliate is much different than the national cable news network known as FOX NEWS.

So true.
