Sports Article Example

1) The article recounted the college football game between number 2 ranked michigan and the underdog opponent Ball State.

2) I like what the reporter did by writing on more then just the game. Michigan is the second best football team in the country and they almost lost to an unranked team. The reporter asked many questions to the michigan team if the hype about their upcoming game aginst number 1 ranked Ohio State distracted them in this game. It was intresting to see that even though the Wolverines had won they were still extremly dissapointed with thier performance.

3) "Coming into this game, everybody was talking about the hype about Michigan and Ohio State, and it kind of overlooked a team like Ball State. If you disrespect a team, they're going to come out and give their all."

4) Once again, I think the most worthwhile part of this article is that the reporter did more than just give a bare bones account of the events that took place on the field. The reporter made sure that there was more meat to the story and asked many questions that had more to do with the teams mental state then of asking them to recount what happened in the game.

5) I would say interviews because his interviews made it possible for the story to have the added depth I previously talked about.
