Beat writers

Good find on that Kyle Whelliston article. I've met him a couple of times, and he strikes me as a nice guy who is very passionate about his chosen focus.

I think his generalizations are too sweeping, however. Do I know some kids at the various places CCSU plays who think their current job is just something to do until they get "discovered" and are hosting SportsCenter next week? Of course.

But I've also worked with some guys who aren't like that at all. And while I admit to having the Top 25 scoreboard open on my cpu during games because I'm obsessed with Bracketology, I promise that CCSU is my first priority.

For a reporter, it's actually a perfect situation. I get to cover a DI program, see different sports as opposed to one. I can call the second most famous coach in this state and know that I'll get a call back. It's a great mix of big time hoops in an intimate atmosphere.

Throw in the fact that most of the people I care about live within 20 minutes of here and your beat writer isn't going anywhere.

Sorry Hud. (Kidding!).
