VIPS To Look Down On Bleacher Fans

The project will cost $35.9 million, with $28 million financed through a bond sale. The athletic department will pay for the rest in cash. Nice deal […]
Fiesta Pre-Game Media Blitz
Just about everyone jumped on the pre-game Fiesta Bowl blitz. On Channel 7 we saw Mark Johnson leading cheers at the same time Channel 6 was doing a live report saying the pep rally had just finished. How did GUARDIAN readers see all the contests of local TV reports? Did KBCI even have a crew […]
