The Nut Grafs

So last semester our good friend Cooper decided that the graduate journalism students needed to put together an intramural basketball team. AU offers things like that, and so all of us were stoked when he decided to head up the effort. The team currently consists of Seung-Min, Nick P, Manuel, Lori, Meera, Lauren, Cate, Caroline, Neil, and Coop, of course. I've been to all of their practices (2) and I'll admit, the kids are good. I wasn't so sure about their skills when the team was formed, but now I'm convinced... these guys are what could save journalism. The first game is tonight against The Bush Administration. Oh yes, you read it right. The Fourth Estate v. The Former Estate. Journalists everywhere, you now have a team. Join the Facebook group. Check out the awesome shirt designed by Lori! (consequentially, when the date of the first game was announced, I thought it sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it until this morning, just now. I agreed to watch Kennedy, my little cousin tonight. I wish I could just take her to the game, but I doubt my aunt would go for that. So I have to miss the first one. Don't be angry, kids.)
