The thing about covering a particular season _ like Shocker basketball _ is that when it’s over, it’s over. And it’s over.
The season ends so quickly and it leaves me wondering what the heck I’m going to do now. WSU basketball is all I have written about for a couple of weeks now. Can I possibly write about anything else?
Having been on the road so much, I first need to get into the office and do expense reports, which are the worst. We even have a simple system for doing them, but it’s like pulling teeth.
Then I need to figure out a routine for the spring. I’ll have a major league baseball column this weekend. And there’s always the Mark Turgeon watch, although I really don’t expect him to go anywhere. Don’t prove me wrong here, Mark. I just don’t think the right job is out there and I really believe he and his wife, Ann, are happy here. I wouldn’t be shocked if he went somewhere else now, but I would be surprised.
If you have column ideas, send them to me. This is a time of the year when I need them.

Bob,
I know what you mean the time between college basketball and the start of baseball is a boring time. This might be a good time to ramp up your gym activities and get into a good routine. As far a articles, it seem the wranglers are going to have some of the royals draft choices in there line-up. It might be nice to know more about them. That way when they get called up there might actually be a reason to follow the royals again if we know something about the players. Also it would also be interesting to have a article on three shocker seniors that are leaving the basketball team. What are there plans now? Have them reflect on the past season and what it meant to them.
If nothing else , every Tuesday you should have a wrapup/rehash of the previous nites 24 show……….
You should write a story about past Wichita Wings players and what they are doing now. We all know how much you LOVE the Wings when they were here.
Since it is baseball season, I think a where are they now on the 1989 World Series Shockers would be kind of fun. I know it has been 17 years and that isn’t 15 or 20 which seem to be magic numbers. If this has been done recently I apologize for not remembering. I know where Eric Wedge is of course, but that is about it.
