Many years ago an observer asked Tom Landry, then coach of the Dallas Cowboys, what he thought about the Green Bay Packers having their own Hall of Fame. Landry said, "They might as well, they got their own newspaper." This came to mind today when Elsa McDowell replied to a critic of The Post and Courier who complained that The Citadel "does not have a hometown newspaper."
Back in the 1920's the publisher of the Green Bay newspaper told his staff the paper would always stand by the Packers' come hell or high water because if Green Bay ever lost the team they would never get another one. To this day this is the paper's position.
Elsa said the P&C recognizes The Citadel as significant but reports the news - good and bad.
