Why do you have to pick a fight? Everyone knows that guy, and right now you are being that guy. That guy: The one at the bar who won't stop telling you your favorite sports team sucks until you throw a punch. That guy: the one who thinks he's being funny, but really insulting and annoying. That guy: the one that is too busy looking in the mirror at themselves that they lost sight of what is right, what is wrong, and what is unnecessary. Why? Why do you have three headlines, above the fold, during Precollege when you KNOW for certain parents are in town, that say: McDavis is getting a raise, we're not getting a new health center, and OU leads other college towns in alcohol and drug citations? Why do it? You think you are doing your journalistic duty, but really you are just riling up parents. You know, the ones who foot the bill of the students, allowing the university to prosper, allowing Athens to be Athens, and for your paper to function the way it does, rather directly or indirectly? Why do it? OU has significantly improved since I was a freshmen in 2005. I haven't seen a single report on it. In fact, I never read ANY positive articles about this university. Why do you go here? You hate OU. Go to Miami. I love OU and everything they have done for me. Where is the love? It sure as hell isn't coming from the third floor of Baker, where your offices are. It makes no sense. You are that guy: the one at the party that keeps saying, this party blows. Well, you know what, don't attend.
