Auburn University beat writer Opelika-Auburn News

Be loyal to yourself first. No rational person would blame you for taking a run at an SEC beat.

 

Circumstances: in Texas.

 

This is true. I've learned during the past few months that my situation is enviable compared to many.

That sounded really arrogant. Didn't mean for it, too.

 

... it is. ;D

 

I'm sure football in Texas is great, that's what I keep hearing from people I know out there

 

On the whole, yes. Top state for depth of talent simply because of numbers. From an individual standpoint, just depends. You can get stuck covering a stinker, just like anywhere else. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Perennially Overrated feels my pain.

 

White smoke.

 

Purple haze.

 

How do you know.. nothing is official around here unless you have a pipeline, you know..

 

SO who gots?

 

Just received word through the (reliable when posted) Orange Hat Pipeline ...

The position has been offered to, and accepted by, Andrew Gribble. Good kid. Recent Ohio University graduate. Interned with MLB.com and, I think, The Birmingham News. A smart, sharp hire. Keep an eye on him.

(And no, jokers, I am not Gribble.)

 

Gribble's a good kid and a pretty solid writer who will work hard. Good choice -- two thumbs up...
