Agree about the decrease in foreign students. I heard about this last year at one of the games and heard it was going to continue to decline because of changes made regarding student visas (not bashing anyone, just relaying what was told to me). Mark Inserra does an excellent job as an asst SID, but I sure miss Kelvin Queliz. I think that Kevin did an amazing job. Too bad we lost him to University of New Orleans. Speaking of radio, what happened to Hog's Voice? I'm pretty sure he was the voice of Javelina football for the Alice or Kingsville station. He practically cried on the air when we beat ACU for our last game. You have to respect that kind of loyalty. :)
And yes Kelvin Queliz understood the dynamics of being a good SID. The local media coverage (local Corpus TV and Newspapers) has really fallen off. All the traditional sports media outlets are void of talent with local connections to the market (IE went to A&I/TAMUK or lived in the region) except KRIS which has one sportscaster who went to A&I. But they only give his sports cast like 90 or 120 seconds to squeeze in maybe a local high school story and something about the one of the pro teams and that is it. The Caller Times thanks to their acquisition by McPaper or USA Today cut and slashed local staff which included long time tenured writers such as the guy who covered the Hogs. Now the coverage is almost nothing. It used to be during this week, they would have a several article preview on the team. Now? Not even a mention in passing about the season starting or a game even being played at home on Saturday. Of course not having a great W/L doesn't help either. But when we had dips in the past, they still gave us ink ( now you would call it bandwith) and TV time.

Can't argue with any of the above, it is all causative of our problem....,and I really agree on the lack of info coming out (not coming out...) of the SID, and the local media is what it is (nuff said).
Will be coming in on Saturday, drop by E 14 1 and 2 to say hi.... LSC Fan, this goes for you too.
