The picture on the side is supposed to be a picture of Ryan. Between this, 'Boatwright', Shabazz being a freshman, etc. I feel like I haven't read an article in the past few weeks that didn't have some misinformation in it. Makes me wonder what % of stuff about other teams I don't know as much about it wrong.

edit: Reading the Seth Davis article I didn't actually notice any mistakes. I actually like Seth Davis and I'm sure he wasn't the one that picked out the photo. It's more the publications themselves that don't really seem to do any fact checking before it's up on the internet.

The 'Boatwright' thing annoys me, too, because it seems to be growing. The AP's story of our game on Saturday spelled his name wrong throughout the entire article.

Here's the scariest part - sports journalists are no different than OTHER journalists. The regular news - just as screwed up as this,
