TOMMY SEABASS misses the humor

I view TOMMY SEABASS’ Feb. 7 column, “10 questions not to ask Coach K” as a weak attempt at stirring up the readership. I know TOMMY SEABASS (or whoever this coward in hiding is) is trying to make it big in journalism one day, and in his bland humor he saw no hope of ever amounting to anything in the field. Conveniently, he decided that his only hope of attracting the attention to himself would be by attempting to write out something “edgy” and controversial.

Now, I don’t see anything wrong in trying to be ‘edgy’ and controversial, but being so at the expense of another human being (and your fellow students) is unacceptable. If you want to trash another person you better be prepared to back it up with facts (of which TOMMY SEABASS provides none).

Also, who is TOMMY SEABASS to criticize his fellow students? Are these young kids giving it their all for their university just so that some loser that won’t even reveal his name can criticize them publicly. How would TOMMY SEABASS like it if his transcript was on display and his grades were publicly criticized?

TOMMY, if you ever make it big in journalism, enjoy it while it lasts because it sure is not going to. Your pathetic attempt at controversy at the expense of other good human beings isn’t enough to mask your inability to get people to laugh.

Isn’t that the whole point of a humor column anyway?
