Arkley has fallen into the trap of becoming a de facto employee of the institution/program he's supposed to be covering.
He's a good writer, but there's a reason he's still stuck in Athens, Ohio, after all these years. Too comfortable being a PR guy for his coaching friends.
He is getting owned by the Post in terms of beat coverage. Pretty pathetic.
And tonight he tweets how Ohio didn't quit during crunch time down 20 with 75 seconds left. It's such a joke the lack of reporting he's doing on this issue.
Huh, I didn't need Arkley to tell me this. I made the very same remark to the people sitting next to me during that late run, "At least the kids aren't quitting." Like Alan said it was close to getting real interesting. Why they couldn't play with that intensity just a few minutes earlier, I'm not sure, and is a good question for discussion. But, I think Arkley's tweet reflects the thinking of most OHIO fans who stayed to the bitter end. What do you want him to do? Should he say something like, "Just another example of too little, too late, for the lame duck coach who is just waiting out his time till the axe drops." Would that make you happy?
