Maybe you and your ilk should take the time to write to the writer.  i did and her response confirmed what I was thinking all along.  You guys should try it.  Like Mikey, you might like it.

I barely have enough for Bobcatattack.com. Perhaps someone else of my "ilk" will make time. ;-)

she's a sophomore writer trying to find her own voice by using a Zooey Deschanel quirky girl POV to comment on social observations.

Hardly a threat to our old man dreams of athletic glory.

How do you know she was in Athens last year? She could have transferred in or be coming in with sophomore status. Further, are we attacking people who don't immediately jump on the athletics bandwagon? She didn't go last year. She went this year. THIS IS A WIN.

Could you please define the "your ilk" comment?

To each his own......never bored with "Bobcat "First Down".......or the 110....or Tail Great Park.....or Richland Avenue....or Court Street.....or aquariums....or mega-mugs.......etc. etc. etc.

So true. I'm pretty shocked by the thin skin of some posters here. People need to lighten up. She's obviously exaggerating and she's not a half-bad writer. She's also garnering more page views and comments than any Post article in recent memory. Not bad for someone starting their sophomore year.

Yeah, that just doesn't work like that.

This, sir, is a great point.

I mean are you really imagining "what ifs" purely for the basis of having a contradictory position on a web forum?
"When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not Zebras"

2min of internet sleuthing shows that on Facebook in July 2011 she "Liked" the honors tutorial college, then in September she liked Haffa's, ACRN, Donkey, and the Athena Cinema. Sounds like a horse to me and not the Zebra you are picturing.

Plus, I'm not attacking people who don't jump on the bandwagon as freshman.  As shown in your quote, I am asking why anyone would care about her opinion which is so clearly uninformed and lacking passion for the subject matter (As evident by her lack of attendance last year, or knowing where the Convo is).

Again, seeing this for what it actually is, she isn't this newly recruited fan who wasn't going to games last year and now is.  She was assigned this job to report on athletics and then somehow took it in the direction of "I don't get it". Almost as if someone had asked me to write an article about women, and instead of learning and trying to understand I just wrote an article "I don't understand women".  

 Reading the prequel is even more of a joke, she essentially talks about going to a bunch of different games essentially as research for her new role and trying to understand athletics, but then writes about how she was too confused and ignorant to understand.  Again, it would be like if I was supposed to write an article about Multiplication Tables, and instead I wrote "Multiplication tables are hard and I don't get it", which explained how I looked at my book for a little while then as she wrote "gave up and went to the movies".

I've reread my laminated letter to the editor inviting the student body to sign to Tony Perez firing protest letter.

It was rubbish.

Still waiting for "my ilk" to be defined. You will have to help me out because I am not as enlightened as you are.
