Peter King

Some nice thoughts from Peter King's MMQB:

j. Thanks, Ohio University, for the invitation to talk to a hall full of sports and non-sports journalism hopefuls Friday night. Always great to be back on the campus where I spent four happy and profitable and educational years�and met the woman of my dreams.

k. Walking up one side of Court Street, walking down the other side. Walking on College Green. What a time warp. Other than the Bagel Buggy being gone from the heart of town late on a Friday night, not much has changed in the last 40 years, since winter quarter of my junior year.

l. Coffeenerdness: How I knew I was in a college town early Saturday: I had to leave Athens about 7:15 a.m. for the 65-mile drive to Columbus to catch my plane home, and I wanted to get a coffee before driving 70 miles to the airport. The three coffee shops downtown weren�t open yet. Two of them opened at 8.

m. Beernerdness: Very cool brew pub in uptown Athens that wasn�t there the last time I was: Jackie O�s, right next to my old bar, the Union. Great to see it crowded with townies and students alike Friday afternoon and evening, and great to be able to share a beer with some of the students from The Post, our venerable student paper, and then a drink with some of the organizers of the journalism weekend. It�s been a long time since I saw one of my old buddies from the Cincinnati Enquirer, Justice B. Hill, who�s on the front lines at Ohio U., teaching writing and reporting the way it has to be taught. Really enjoyed the whole scene.

Clicking on this, I was afraid something untoward had come out about Mr. King. As a fan, this gave me pause. Thanks for sharing, though.

Few days late on this, sorry "oldkatz" ;)

Got the chance to attend Peter King's speech and it was awe inspiring. He shared many stories, including a few on how he built a relationship with Bill Parcells and an interview with Tom Brady after last year's Super Bowl comeback.

Also, getting to drink a few Razz Wheats & a Ricky or two with him was something out of a student journalist's dream.

Our APSE President and fellow Ohio Bobcats beat writer Pete Nakos did a helluva job organizing the Bob Moran Symposium for us student journos, including bringing in other students from Ohio schools to network.
