    RIP John Ginter, Muncie Star and Ball State

    If you went through Ball State's journalism school, odds are you learned how to keep sports stats from the G-Man. He worked in the Ball State sports information office during the Rick Majerus era, and he taught the sports info class and (sometimes) the sportswriting class. He also worked at the...

    Rise of the one-man band

    Taking from the Biloxi thread on Anything Goes and news from other places, it sounds as if there's a push by mid-sized papers, those with sports staffs of at least 8-10 a decade ago, to go down to a one-person sports operation. For those of you caught in that situation (or lucky enough to still...

    GameChanger and prep agate

    Wondering how different papers use GameChanger to compile spring sports agate. Most schools around Hackyville are using it. Do you work with GameChanger directly, or do you have schools feed you the boxes directly through email without going to the GC website? We've stopped taking phone-in...

    RIP John Hodge, New Castle (Ind.) Courier-Times

    For those who have covered high school basketball in Indiana in the past 30 years, odds are that you dealt with Hodgie. He was a fixture at the New Castle Field House and at the state finals until recently retiring as The Courier-Times' longtime sports editor. He passed away Friday from an...

    Deputy editor, features/sports, Las Vegas Review-Journal

    I know this is a Gatehouse shop now, and having a combined sports/features editor is a thing these days. But in Las Vegas, a place where features/lifestyle/entertainment news plays such a major role in what goes on in the region? Yikes... Link to long job description: JournalismJobs.com - Job...

    RIP Ron Lemasters Sr. (Muncie Star)

    Between his work at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indiana high school basketball, Ron became one of the people to read in Indiana media during his time at the Muncie Star (and, at the end of his career, The Star Press). He also mentored quite a number of Ball State student journalists...

    Spare me an asprin or 12 ... cell phone craziness

    Anyone have an issue with not being able to receive texts from just one or two people after porting over your number from one carrier to another? I ported from Virgin to Verizon about a month ago (moved ... Virgin/Sprint had no signal at the new place), and since then I haven't been able to...

    Two college beat positions in Toledo

    Don't know why The Blade goes the blind ad route since it is the only daily in Toledo ... there is a fairly healthy independent publication with free distribution that does some sports, but that paper only publishes once or twice a week. Anyhow, assuming that this is indeed The Blade, they're...

    RIP John "Mr. Prep" O'Connor, Northwest Florida Daily News

    This business brings out all sorts of colorful characters. For anyone who dealt with high school sports in the Florida panhandle, John O'Connor was high up on that list ... he was one-of-a-kind. He frequently wrote of "Nehi" and other things you couldn't get away with in other newspapers, smoked...

    Tonight's poker bad beat

    Bar poker ... down to four players. Top three get paid. I'm tied for short stack with another player with roughly eight big blinds. Second place has a little more. First place, an old man hunched over his chips, had most of the chips, far and away, after catching all sorts of cards all night...

    MLB Network: Regional coverage

    Anyone have a good resource for determining which areas get which MLB Network games? They're listing two games in every time slot, and my usual sources, including The 506, are all coming up empty.

    Airport security, just in time for Thanksgiving

    Tis the season for overreaching school admins
