i debated the adjective "good".  was it neccesary?  or implicitly understood given manbeck's record?  better safe than sorry, but a tough choice.

"I'm the luckiest person alive, I coach basketball for a living," he said. "I get out of bed, I'm happy with my job every day. I'm in a great place, great kids, great people, and I get to talk basketball all day, everyday. It doesn't get much easier in life than that."

sounds like he needs to recruit a little harder.

Kid is killing on the Wildcat beat.  

Between Meek and Cole, it makes it much easier live knowing that Kellis exists.

"I didn't want to leave because of what we were building at North Miami K-State was so good," Martin said. "It was hard for me to turn my back and walk away from those kids who had worked so hard to do what I asked them to do. At the same time, it was the neighborhood I grew up in, it's the school I had spent half of my life in. It was just too much, so I made the decision to go back there."

If there was such a thing as a "journalism award" Cole would win one.  Also Meek.  Prolly split a lot of categories actually....handsomeness being one.

the mercury (mostly just cole) honestly covers the cats better than any other media source/outlet out there. not even lying. not exaggerating. i let my sub run out a few months ago but plan on starting a new one as an early xmas present to myself.

i like meek and all but capj just reminds me of topeka and all. not a fan.  :nono:

Good thing we have Cole and Austin.  :skillz: Otherwise, we would need to write official articles for the Cats and setup a web site just to cover it all.   :bootyshake:>>Kellis :rofl:

Remember when Mark Janssen, would just blindly smash keys on his keyboard before taking a nap and buying more Bill Cosby sweaters? How far we have come in the world of beat reporters.

Cole had a great tweet on GG today.  Since it was about football, I won't pollute this board with the details out of respect for sys.

the one we've all been waiting for.

krob obviously has no pride, but i wonder if meek is starting to feel a little inadequate?  understandable, if so.
