DTH should cover football as much as basketball

TO THE EDITOR:

Why is it the day after Miami beats Virginia Tech and the day before Carolina faced Maryland all we Carolina football fans read in the DTH is an article about the football game and basketball game being at the same time? There were more articles in the DTH last year about football and we were losing games. Why does basketball get an article for a meaningless game? 

To make this even worse there wasn't even an online exclusive previewing any aspect of the football game. I understand that basketball is the prominent sport here at Carolina and always will be but when it comes down to what was more important this weekend it was the football game.

Students here need to learn that there are other things than people named Tyler Hansbrough and an orange ball.
