Friday Feedback
July 8, 2011 by Mike CasazzaWelcome to the Friday Feedback, which, now that I look at a clock, certainly isn’t “way premature.” An abbreviated week and a short list of posts in this numbing time of year. I feel like the basketball freshmen are already sophomores. The Fab Five thinks they’ve gotten a lot of ink. And did you know Geno Smith is working hard? Oh, well. What’s a sportswriter to do?
We’ll bow our backs and do what we do, though we won’t be long today. (Late edit: I lied. Good job by you this week!) I went with some interactive posts this week, which then takes more work out of my hands.
I know there are many people who are new to here in the past month, but I assure you it’s not always like this. The weeks generally have 12-15 posts and the F Double is usually voluminous and humorous. It’s the Pat’s meow, as far as we’re concerned.
That said, I hope everyone understands this is the time of year I try to step away so that I’m not jumping off the roof of Lawrinson Hall in October. Do I say that because I’m away next weekend and might have another blank space? You don’t know that! Do I still have more vacation time I have to use? You think about that. And is there something else up my sleeve? Stay tuned.
Onto the Feedback. As always, comments appear as posted. In other words, sometimes it’s best to do it on your own.

I turned to twitterverse in hopes that my fears of him being harrassed in the midst of his father’s public fall from grace would be unfounded. Luckily, it seemed that most of mountaineer nation was supporting him and offering words of encouragement. He had specifically mentioned Bruce in a tweet thanking him for an, apparently very kind message that had been sent his way. That gave me instant gratification that not only is Bruce something that legends are made of, but also apparently a man of very good character.
[Ed: ” … apparently a man of 140 very good characters.]
