Oh, Kentucky

It's easy for The New York Times and their "scientists" to be so sober and cooly analytical when they're not the ones pulling up the blinds with trepidation every morning.

What kind of name is "Lute," anyway?

One of the legendary items about this guy had to do with how he wrote about a spot in Butler County that was infamous for illegal dumping. The fiscal court had railed against it for years, and maybe an arrest or two had been made over the years. Finally, Larry Craig spent an afternoon at the site, picking through the garbage, compiling the names he found on discarded mail or whatever and subsequently publishing the list on the front page of the paper.

One of those late '80s seasons when Rex Ryan was at Eastern Kentucky, his brother, Rob, was an assistant coach at Western. This curiosity was the focus of a forgettable 14-inch feature by sophomore me in advance of that year's WKU-EKU tilt; it was such a lackluster story that it didn't even make the front of the College Heights Herald's sports section.

Hurry to this story to see copy editor's questions mistakenly left in below the second paragraph and near the end.
