    Ha.

    Thankfully, the 9.3 inches filled the slot I had.

    Holy crap, I was wrong.

    Nearly picked up the phone ISO the International Bowl agate tonight ... it has moved, of course, but wasn't slugged like any of the other bowl agate the whole season.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who was about to rip out my hair last night, waiting for the NFL game. Between them and the box of the local U so I could scribble something quickly on last night's game (which was e-mailed to me at 12:10...I'm on a 12:30 deadline. Damn these stupid teams playing in the Central time zone when I'm in Eastern....) before deadline, I was about to shoot something.

    This is the second year in a row I'm bitching about this.

    Every story I get is slugged BCS-Champions no matter whether it's about OU, Florida, or whatever.

    How about shortening the slug for those of us who only get 16 characters?

    I frankly don't care what the damn payout is when I want to run the Bowl Glance agate.

    Addendum. Because it's funny.

    At 11:56 p.m. tonight, AP moved an advance on the Panthers-Giants regular season game. Not only that, it was a first lead-writethru.

    Funny thing, I'm always inclined to cut that out for simplicity's sake, but a guy called and said he liked to see that, at least once. So i found a way to run the payouts along with the sked once or twice.
