First off, well done Strat.
As for me, I will like the guy if he just does his job, and doesn't get his "news" from opinions on message boards. And while this could be another high expectation, I would like for him to have a reliable and trustworthy source before spewing negative **** he hears through the grapevine about MSU athletics. Other than that, just be a beat writer, not a "I can tell it first" high school girl, that reports every piece of gossip he hears, with Beatwriter as a title.
Those types of reporters are hard to come by these days though, for some reason.
