Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Collegian Writer

So I'm reading the article in the Collegian today about how there was a glitch in the ticket system and people could get in as long as they had an ID even if it wasn't theirs, and I come across this sentence:  "Some students noticed that swiping their card at the booth was barely necessary."  Barely necessary? Barely necessary.  Could have said hardly necessary, or, was unnecessary, both of which would have worked better in this situation.  So now this begs the question.... where are you closet BSD going collegian staff writer Laura Nichols?! I know you're out there, admit it.  Come on, there is no way this was just a coincidence, no way, I'm at least 12% sure.

a friend went out of town and I borrowed his ID to give to my friend from Syracuse. Don’t tell anybody.

Did you:

(1) swipe the card at the gate?
(2) barely swipe the card at the gate?
(3) lose 13-6 at the gate?

Well

We showed the card at the entrance to the serpentines, and then they had the same “swipe” machines that weren’t hooked up at the gate, so they just handed you your ticket.

Your poll should include Zug, by the way.

The Collegian

They all read BSD. I have been told this. In fact, I have been told that all the PSU beat writers around PA check BSD daily, but few would admit it.

they check the message board for leads. Wish I was joking.

True Story

I caught a MSM writer plagiarizing me once. Of course, when I emailed him about it he denied it. Said he only read BSD “once or twice” and it was a “very nice blog”.

You caught

a Morehouse School of Medicine writer plagiarizing you? Wow, impressive.

P.S. I’m so naive I’m not sure what MSM is supposed to stand for so I yahoo’d it… and still don’t know.. lol

Doesn't surprise me

After reading BSD for the past three years, its been obvious that Collegian writers must read your stuff. You can just tell by their style and some of the arguments they make. You’ll say something and then a day or two later a story saying essentially the same thing will appear.
