Go State

With a popular blog on ESPN.com, a book deal, and now a comedy pilot on Fox that is quasi-based on his life (no, he's not actually starring in it), former ISU basketball player Paul Shirley is becoming a master of all media (if not a master of basketball). You can go to ESPN.com and type in "Paul Shirley" to read all his journal entries. It's some amusing stuff. I think his higher than average intelligence for a pro basketball player, as evidenced by his ACT score of 35 and degree in engineering from ISU, makes his observations and dialogue on life in pro ball more interesting than those of a NBA superstar would be. Keep up the good work, Paul.

I forgot to mention in my last post that my fancy new masthead comes courtesy of Lost Minutes. Thanks.
