a) Because I knew how cool you were. We had something like a fifteen-minute talk and you came out of the experience unscathed and that told me you were very resilient and that you bore further observations. I was not incorrect.
b) Pigskin, gridiron, American football, yes, occasionally to your own risk.
c) You don't do anything halfheartedly. For better or worse you throw yourself into what you're passionate about. I...I guess I admire that, even if I'm occasionally watching from behind bulletproof glass.
d) There was about a six-month period where we'd cross each other's path on campus with statistically-improbably frequency and I'd fall into my default of not saying anything because I didn't think you remembered who I was and honestly there was no way to say "hi" without being totally weird.
e) What are you going to do if/when print journalism collapses on itself?
f) Gotta go with this one. Oh, what a hell of a day that was.

Yeah, that's pretty much me. Going half-assed about things has never been my style. And it has definitely paid off.

e) What are you going to do if/when print journalism collapses on itself?

I've been entertaining a few ideas: going into sports PR (basically, being an SID for a university. They definitely have a lot more job security than we do). There's also an idea I've been kicking around in my head if I ever get fed-up and I might take the LSAT and try to go into journalism law (I mean, I did pass Simon's law class with an A). One thing I know I won't be doing any time soon is going into broadcasting. There's a can of worms that I'd really like to avoid.

Oh, what a hell of a day that was.

Indeed. :D
