		<description><![CDATA[Hey Spittle,

I just stumbled across your account. What would you suggest for sports to open it up to online content? Frankly, my initial idea for the blogs were to have someone or people write full on articles on every event that takes place on campus, but nobody really seemed interested. You should come to a story meeting to see disinterest, by the by, we have to pull teeth to get people to take stories. I was hoping that the blogs might turn into beats, where a small sports staff would assign one sport to one person and that person would check in with the coach/team captain each week, post any small thing that they find out there, and then be able to more willingly take stories on that team for print, while writing up game reports for that team after a game happens. Obviously, disinterest, as you pointed out is the major obstacle, but given time over spring break, it might come together.

Was that sort of thing what you were thinking of? I&#039;m actually not on twitter, should I be as an editor? If nothing else, know that I&#039;m interested in online stuff for sports and am receptive to your ideas.]]></description>
