    You might want to get the name of the paper right, boss.

    Maybe he's an partial outsider weening out non-researchers?

    Trying Jeremy.

    Thank, MU_.
    I'm just an idiot and didn't type it right. Oh well. I'll fix it.

    Imagine designing packages on Saturday for a second-place (maybe) team in the Big 12 North.

    Well, we know there is no journalism talent at the nearby university... :D

    This is certainly a solid paper in one of the best towns in America. But next year you might only be designing packages for football and basketball teams ranked in the top 15 or so, rather than the Orange Bowl and NCAA champs. ;D

    I could post links about KU winning the Hearst awards the past two years, but I won't bother. ;D

    Great college town to live in with a nice musical nightlife. Plus, there's a place called Henry Ts that offers some of the biggest wings you'll find anywhere

    The sports editor there, Tom Keegan, is a great guy.

    Gotten to know him a little bit over the years, and he's definitely someone you'd want to work for.

    Anybody else find it odd that a pre-employment physical is required?

    Turn your head and cough. OK, you're hired!
