SOUTHAVEN, Miss. — It was 10:30 p.m., two hours after Kaitlin May won her second consecutive Miss Gulf South Conference Pageant. I was thinking about the Waffle House. My thought was interrupted when someone carried into the press room a tray of huge, steaming hot dogs. Then a man rolled in a cart with buns, and bowls filled with shredded cheese, diced red onions, and mustard. Another man followed with an electric crock of chili. He put it on a table beside a stack of basketball media guides and plugged it in. A woman came in two minutes later, as I typed a box score into my computer, with a a bowl of plastic knives and forks, and a stack of napkins.
We had Cokes and bottled water on ice, and maybe the best treatment of sportswriters and sports information directors in the history of NCAA Division II athletics.
Man.
