    Stories on D1 signees, briefs/roundups on sub-D1. Just too many.

    A big roundup, led with the big-school kids, maybe a quote or two from them, followed by everyone else. I say that would be sufficient.

    We did have one year where one school had 11 D-I football kids signing. In an unusual case like that I might see sending a writer, but that's rare.

    And I misspell all their names out of spite.

    "Yeah, I misspelled your kid's name. Take that.
    "Bitches!"

    You sure that's the reason?

    One reason why it's all the more important to get these things right is that to many people when we make a mistake, it's never just a mistake. They think there's some agenda behind it or at the very least you're thinking "Aw fuck it, it's only girls swimming." or something like that.

    Are there statistics of the # of parent complaints anywhere on the Internet? I'd like to see something like that. It seems to me the complaints have gone up, but by how much over a certain period and what for?

    you ask a valid question.

    such a great post lost in the difficulty of quoting another human being.
