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

Uh-oh.

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!

Maybe you should worry more about the drug test.

What?

It's OK. Greatness isn't always appreciated. :)

My favorite place to watch a game. Great food, great atmosphere. It also happened to be where the Jayhawks cleared the air over lunch before going on that late-season run (it was Darnell Jackson's favorite place, too).

anyone remember the flap this paper had with the fake press release about mark mangino getting hired away from KU?

Why? Is there a healthy collection of old boosters to pick up his tab?

(I've been there. It really is a fine place. I also like Set 'em Up Jacks on the far east end of town. It too is a fantastic place to watch a game — one of the largest HD projection TVs I've ever seen, the full complement of Boulevard beers on tap, NTN trivia with enough TVs so it doesn't get in the way, good meal deals and it's far enough away from Mass to avoid some of the Smug cloud.)
