Because you won't see this in the Daily Globe....

If you saw it in the paper tho...you would read it and have a glimmer of pride wouldn't you ?
I know I would... I don't have to be interested in something that shines a good light on my home town to feel that attaboy feeling..

To be honest with you....no. LOL It would be like opening the paper and seeing some farmer with a 600 lb tomato or something...I would *sigh and say only in Kansas...hehehe

Notyoubob - when you do something that you are even remotely proud of remind me to piss all over it and say "No one gives a damn"

Sorry 'bout that. I was jusy trying to say not everyone thinks what you think is important is important to all as they thing of mine. Feel free to piss all over my posts whenever you feel the desire.
Good darts, though.

I think it is GREAT! Too bad nothing is "newsworthy" in Dodge unless it "meets the criteria"!

I feel sorry for Notyoubob that you don't have any thing in yourself to be just a little proud of. I don't have to wet in my pants or pee in my bed or even have to lift my hind legg to piss on a tree because I have family and grandchildren that are proud of the thing I have done. And it most certainly does not have to be put in the glob to make me feel good about myself. It is just sad that the paper is not one for the home town people.

Congratulations Monster, on your Championship.
Us "little" people who go out and do an outstanding job with their sport should be recognized in their hometown news. Maybe it will show others that this may be something that they can try & be good at and help their self-esteem. Because not everyone can be the "top notched" ball player that people want to read about. Personally, I'd rather read comics or read about someone that has done well in an area (sports, hobbies ect) than read about some person, that gets into the game by their ability to play the game or it's by name association. And that is how they get their name in the paper. No, it's not fair, in my opinion, that we are snubbed and others think that "our sport" is not worthly to read about. My daughter plays volleyball, high school and club. The club team that she plays on has played in 3 big tournments in the Topeka, Wichita & KC area, winning first in those 3 and placed 2nd in a smaller tournament. This is a Dodge City club and nothing has been mentioned in the Dodge City sport section and it probably never will.

Anyway, Monster, again, Good Job and keep doing it because you're good at it and keep "us" little people up dated on your achievements. Because, some of us do care.

And that's all I have to say about that.!!!!
