Nick tried to be Hank, as well, but it didn't work as well. You be the judge.

Jason dressed up like Hank Williams Jr. The bad Hank Williams. The "Let's get ready for some football" Hank Williams. Not the "I'm so lonesome I could die" Hank Williams.

Here is the class that Kovach - the pope of journalism, let me remind you - speaks so highly of.

Do I look professional? Really?

My journalism buddy

My journalism buddy, originally uploaded by happanda.

This was from Bill Kovach's farewell party at MTSU. We all skipped class and listened to every journalism professor at MTSU talk about how great Kovach is.
I think he's really going to make a big difference in my life, my career. His ideas are simple, almost common sense, until you realize that practically no one in the industry is writing journalism the way it was meant to be written.
He gave me his address in Maryland and I'll try to remember to write him next semester and send him issues of Sidelines.
Yesterday was the last day of class, and Kovach was gone. Sonny said that Kovach enjoyed the class so much that he still talks about it. He also still talks about the newspaper, which makes me beam.
I want to develop a lasting letter-writing relationship with Kovach and Hunter S. Thompson. I've already got an "in" with both of them.
