The verdict: Filler

No news in it: a travel piece, event plug, evergreen explainer, listicle, roundup, holiday post, or something written to fill space or catch searches.

Everything Rich Rodriguez Said Following the Loss to Texas Tech

The story is a transcript dump of postgame quotes with no reporting, analysis, or context added.

Junk rating: 5 out of 10 (0 is solid reporting, 10 is nothing under it).

The cards and their receipts

• Word Salad

  Everything Rich Rodriguez Said Following the Loss to Texas Tech

  The entire piece is a long run of quotes wrapped around a single 53-48 score.

• Slow News Day

  Member of the Football Writers Association of America

  No decision, event, or new fact is reported beyond a postgame reaction the coach gave.

What's actually established

Only what the reporting itself states, each with the words it rests on. One outlet saying it is not the same as it being confirmed.

• West Virginia lost to No. 15 Texas Tech 53-48 on Saturday night. The West Virginia Mountaineers dropped a heartbreaker to the No. 15 Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday night 53-48.
• Rodriguez said the defense was bad in the first half. I mean, the defense was gross, first half.
• Rodriguez said he should have gone for it on fourth down. Probably should have in hindsight.
