Chicago media: "We'll latch onto anyone who's good!"

Yeah, I realize a lot of people from the Chicago area go to Southern Illinois, but come on; this shit's getting old.

Last night one of the local news stations had SIU's loss to Kansas as its lead story, loaded with shots of people taking in the game at local bars.

Then this morning on my drive into work, I hear one of the radio news headline reader people lead off with, "Our Salukis went down to Kansas last night..."

Ten years ago, you couldn't find a Marquette box score or highlight for your life around here. Then "Chicago's own" Dwyane Wade goes there, MU gets really good, and yay!--go Golden Eagles! Now it's the Salukis' turn.

Go to hell, Chicago media.
