I'm Published!

Lathum · 11-16-2009, 04:20 PM

One of my history professors chose a paper I wrote to publish on a website he is creating about Washington State during the depression. I realize it isn't SI or anything, but I am still pretty excited about it and it will be nice to put on a resume.

Sports

all comments and criticisms welcome.

Congrats.

Izulde · 11-16-2009, 04:56 PM

Congratulations!

RainMaker · 11-16-2009, 04:59 PM

Real good read, congrats! Seattle has a fascinating sports history in my opinion, which is why it was so sad to see the Sonics leave.

I believe I read on Mark Cuban's blog that ratings are way up for all sporting events on TV. Seems people like using sports as an outlet during rough times.

Congratulations

Marc Vaughan · 11-16-2009, 05:28 PM

Thats very cool - I'd be well chuffed if I had something like that published myself, very nicely done imho

CamEdwards · 11-16-2009, 05:28 PM

You know it's good when Rainmaker and I agree.

That was a nice piece, Lathum.

Izulde · 11-16-2009, 05:32 PM

Now that I've read it.... very nice piece.

My only nitpick, and this is more a matter of my own personal aesthetic in terms of style: a few too many instances of would.

awesome - congrats

EagleFan · 11-16-2009, 09:15 PM

Nice! Grats!

Lathum · 11-16-2009, 10:55 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys.

To answer your question Rainmaker, when I went back to school I wanted to go into journalism. I realized pretty quickly that it is a dying art, so I shifted to history with my teaching endorsement.

The good thing about the history BA from University of Washington is it is very focused on writing so if I want to pursue that angle I'll have the qualifications to do so.

Swaggs · 11-16-2009, 11:13 PM

Well done.

Nice read. Longacres opened in 1933 if Wiki is correct which also supports your thesis, with the first Longacres Mile run in 1935.

Congrats Lathum.
