    Not sure I buy an ounce of this story but here it is.

    She'll grow out of it. Wondering how many people would wear that to cover a Cowboys game.

    Or wear that to cover an execution. #OldFashionedCrossThreading

    Also, the Just One Of The Guys remake sounds great.

    1. It's who, not that.

    2. High school guidance counselors make more money.

    3. If that was your motivation, it worked.

    I did stupid shit at 25 too. My issue is that five minutes on Google shows she went to Michigan State straight out of high school. So, she was smart enough and had good enough academics to get in there. What guidance counselor is seriously telling someone accepted to college this? I smell big time bullshit, or at least some embellishment.

    Maybe the guidance counselor said, "If you don't stop getting high and giving BJs under the bleachers, you'll never make anything of yourself."
    And all she heard was the last part ... right before she bumped her head on the underside of the counselor's desk.

    Childish, like standing in a cornfield road with baseballs and bats proclaiming you made it.

    Just shut up and do your jobs without the "look at meeeee!" bullshit.

    High school guidance counselors are some of the most useless people on the planet. I don't doubt the story for a minute.

    I think it's probably a little of column A and a little of column B. Little doubt she was bright and had a pretty clear path to a big-time school. But it's also very easy to see a 70-something curmudgeon telling a girl she has no chance to be a sports reporter.

    My recollection is that someone did that. Please let me know who and what prompted that.

    Cringy. She might grow out of it.
