Putting the old man hat on... one of the best stories Fritch ever wrote was actually a column for the Collegian a little bit before he graduated. It was right after Michael Bishop mania had taken over the campus and the column was all about the 2-3 "other" Michael Bishops who went to K-State (what it was like for them to constantly be mistaken for the football playing Michael Bishop, how they used to get phone calls/emails all the time because there was still a student directory and people would look them up, etc.).
Probably doesn't seem quite as clever 20+ years later, but, at the time, it was a pretty creative angle for a story and much, much different than what anybody else was doing.
