How quickly I forget

One duck's on the pond
Get another one on
Get a hit, quack, quack
Get a hit, quack, quack

 

there are good stories everywhere. i love reading well-written prep stuff when I'm out of town and haven't even heard of the schools. you can tell which writers are going in thinking, "This sucks," and who respects the job and is trying to write good stuff. if I'm an SE and I need to fill a pro beat or college beat, I'm not going to look at the whining little twerp who's been crying about prep stuff for three years. If I have a guy who's approached high school sports seriously and dug up good stories and never complained about it, he's going to be considered.

but, yeah, the level of whining by prep writers is horrifying

if you don't like it, go find another job

shut up and write a good story

 

Wfw. I hated preps, so I went to the desk. ;D

 

I hated preps and yes, I did go find another job.

 

Oh. Come on!!! I've heard that comeback a thousand times.
