It's further back in this thread (or, in honor of my Lon Simmons avatar, way back, way back ...), but I'm reminded of someone calling and wondering why their school is never in the paper despite having a great season.
"Well, your coach or representative hasn't been sending in results."
"I see Podunk and Podunk West in there all the time"
"That's because they're sending in results. Podunk East hasn't been."
"Even Tiny Christian is getting in and they had a big picture today."
"Well, they've been sending in results ..."
One time a guy called asking for the score of a basketball game which we didn't have, and when he asked why not I told him that it's probably because they didn't call in the results. The guy was surprised and outraged to discover that's how we got prep results for any event we didn't personally cover. He actually thought we sent people to every single event every day for all 100+ schools and now I've jaded him forever.
