Really? I swear there were more of them there. Huh. Looks like there are more teams to start. Challenge Accepted.

Re: First in the news

If only our team ever got any publicity; most of our school doesn't know we exist! Well, good job and congrats on being broadcast across the country.

Re: First in the news

In an even more bizarre twist to this story, we were also mentioned in a 20 second clip on yesterday's (2/21/12) edition of The Countdown Show with Keith Olberman!

We're mentioned at about the 26:05 mark in the video, if you can find it. I'll try to post a direct link if I can get it.

Does anyone have any clue how this was picked up by anyone outside central Illinois? We're completely baffled.

Pardon the cynical observation but news media are suckers for already prepared material. You might phrase it "If you write (or film) it they will print (or show) it." The network might also be stroking an affiliate by using their stuff. It's all about filling up the show.

Please do not construe my comment to mean that any team or FIRST is in any way unworthy of notice. It's just an observation of how the media work.

Re: First in the news

The clip was originally filmed by WMBD, from central Illinois. Bakersfield probably just picked it up to fill time and not have to send out a filming crew.
