Here’s my story from today’s front page, on the history of the LSU-Texas football non-rivalry.
Questions you may be asking: Why did Josh, an education reporter by trade, write a sports story? And how did it end up on the front page, considering how very middling its quality is? These questions, alas, have no answers.

Because you work in Texas, where football is life!
Anyway, the average sportswriter wouldn't have had the patience to write 20-odd inches on history. And most of us are on vacation right now (or is that just lucky ol' me? :-)
It's a great first attempt... but don't join the Toy Department just yet. It's not nearly as much fun over here as it appears.
