Athenae asked me to offer an introduction of sorts prior to my first post. I’m Doc, frequent commenter, resident cynic and keeper of more sports stories than you can shake a stick at. I love college media, thoughtful dissent and higher education. I’ll be your Friday guest until A kicks me out. We’ll see how long that holds.
Questions? Ask. Otherwise, I’ll see you in the morning.
Doc: Are you really a doctor? If so, can you look at my toenail? I think I have a fungus.
Seriously, welcome. Any friend of A’s is a friend of mine.
Welcome, Doc! Any friend of higher education is a friend of mine. Oh, and that whole A thing Spocko said, too. 😉
Doc,
Are you a fellow rapid Badger fan? Just wondering if A is calling in the reinforcements?
Seriously, welcome.
Yes, I am a Doc, although a “doctor of paper” (Ph.D.) as one drunken family member of a former student once reminded me. I think they called me Doc, though, because Grumpy and Dopey were taken…
A and I did time in Badgerville, so you’ll likely see an occasional hockey or Badger ref.
Thanks to all for the welcome. Hope I live up to some sort of standard.
I wished I loved college media – the local student rag has become a farm for right-wing Wurlitzer writing and editing. I have to resist the temptation every time I read it to blog and kick their puppies.
I’m currently working as an IT administrator for a certain central Iowa state college.
i have a new mole on my back…
