I spent four good years at the Wildcat, and still count
a few of my former coworkers among my closest friends. It’s funny to
think that more people probably read my college football Staff Picks
than will ever read the book I just published, and I wish I’d
appreciated the Wildcat’s huge reach and readership more. (Maybe then
I wouldn’t have written so many deeply stupid things, some of which
still survive online a decade later.) But mostly I remember reading
through Staff Save at the end of every semester and thinking, “If this
ever gets out, it’ll ruin us all.”
