Woodward and Bernstein, LOOK OUT

I'd imagine that as a college student journalist, you're always on the lookout for something juicy, something exciting other than the normal "Hey here's another lacrosse story."

But at what point do you think the Ball State Daily News' Justin Hesser realized his story, about new Ball State coach Dave Boos not yet having signed his contract due to a typo, was not the scorcher it first appeared to be?

Probably when Boos told him "I don't think it's important."

Of course, ya' gotta wonder how bad that typo was for Boos to send the whole thing back unsigned. Was the contract for "David Boozz"? "Dave Borscht"? "J. Geils"?

And why does Boos have to "set up a meeting with Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Tom Collins to discuss his contract"? Can't you discuss a typo with, you know, whomever typed up the contract?

"A.D. Collins! A.D. Collins!"

"What is it, David?"

"There's a typo in my contract!"

"Where?"

"Look. You spelled volleyball with five Ls instead of four!"

"GADZOOKS! To the mimeograph machine, young David!"

"Tally ho, sir!"
