Riiiiiiight. If that's true, you wouldn't be so fixated on this thread, dripping venom with every post about this place that is so beneath you. In fact, your initial post sounds like you'd love to work there, and it sounds like you're bitter they want nothing to do with you. Am I close...

Unless the thinking there has changed 180 degrees in the 10 years since I worked there, you're completely wrong. And considering the same people are in charge there now as were there when I left, I find that hard to believe. Could you be any more bitter about not being hired there? Try the...

We had a news reporter wear high heels when writing a news-related story from a PGA Tour event in our backyard a few years back. The players had been complaining about the quality of the greens all week long, and we wrote a lot about it. Then she shows up in spiked heels and starts gouging the...

I used to man this position (not recently, but a few years back). The stringers we worked with were barely literate, so take that for what it's worth ... You're going to work your ass off, deal with some douchebags, get frustrated at times and won't get rich while employed there. So it's...

That's why I'll be interested in seeing how Alford spins this one. When he went to Iowa, he kept talking about how he's a Big Ten person at heart, how he'll take the program to the next level and how he could see himself retiring there. Now, 8 mostly-mediocre and often-embarrassing seasons...

Re: Countdown to Selection Sunday thread Every year, the last teams to get at-large bids are 11th or 12th seeds, because the lower seeds are teams from one-bid conferences that get automatic bids. So to be projected a No. 11 or 12 seed is very much on the bubble. The problem I have with...

I have 2 issues with Weis' "crusade" 1) Everything was fine until the Domers started losing recruits. If they hadn't gotten "burned," Weis wouldn't give half a crap about this problem. But because of what happened yesterday, it's all of a sudden a national epidemic that must be addressed. 2)...

I think you're right, Wicked, it's not fair for the Valley to always be the team on the road. But like MM said, Duke's not going to visit Carbondale in a 1-for-1, so you do what you have to do, whether it be neutral sites or 2-for-1s or whatever. The Valley teams need the big-time games more...

It goes both ways. Most of the Valley coaches insist on home-and-homes or neutral-site games, or they won't play the majors. They won't even consider playing a 2-for-1. It seems they are letting their egos get in the way of what is best for the program. In fact, word is that these coaches are...

Thanks for the frank response, Ned. I just think in a sports department, there's got to be one person who has the final authority to make the call, and the situation you've described, at least when it comes to K-State, that line looks pretty blurry. Say the SE wants to take Mark off a K-State...

Thanks for setting things straight, Ned. I have a couple of questions ... 1) If the new SE decides that it would be better for the paper if Mark covers a prep game or other event while he/she covers a K-State game, would that be allowed? It sounds like Mark is (for lack of a better term) a...

But if it's worth having a beat writer for a D-I school, then shouldn't it be worth it to have a full-timer on the beat? The "they aren't hiring a part-timer to be the main beat writer on the local D-I school" line makes me think it's a throwaway beat that doesn't really matter. If that's the...
