Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, September 21, 2004

We've gotten wind of some bad news for Minnesota basketball fans -- apparently Pam Schmid is leaving the Star Tribune.

There are only a few papers around the country that really do a good job covering women's hoops. For the last couple years, the StarTrib has been one of those, and that's due largely to Pam's efforts. She has done a great job covering both the Gophers and the Lynx. She is excellent at game reports and at bringing us personal stories as well.

It's a shame she's leaving. I fear for the future of women's sports coverage here without her.
