Title: whitlock

I wrote a critical column about Josh Freeman when he was a sophomore quarterback at Kansas State. The harshness of the column was accentuated when a filing snafu chopped off the first two paragraphs, destroying the context of the criticism. Anyway, I wrote an apology/clarifying column three days later. No one asked. The column just didn't sit right with me. Josh Freeman's dad called me and thanked me. Another time I wrote a series of columns demanding that Kansas State retain its basketball coach Jim Woolridge for one more season. The school kept him and Woolridge's last year was a disaster. I acknowledged my stupidity in print. That's two examples I can think of off the top of my head. I always react to new information, new insight. I hate it when people refuse to admit when they're wrong. We bash coaches and executives for their unwillingness to admit a mistake. I don't want to be a hypocrite.

just makes me laugh. really, any jim wooldridge reference now makes me laugh.

i still think keeping wooldridge the last year was a good move.  feel very confident that the admin would have hired a random slth (probably a b grade slth, not a prime one like sadler) if he'd been fired earlier.

QFT. If Jimmy goes earlier we also probably have another "It's Floyd/Patterson!" event about some hot name from a mid major.
