ULM credentialed a gnome for the Independence Bowl
The Independence Bowl is swarming with reporters. And fantastical ceramic humanoid creatures.
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
This may seem stupid, but when you think about it, gnomes would make fantastic journalists. Check out their bona fides:
- Inconspicuous
- Plenty of hats in which to stick press pass
- Never in another reporter’s eyeline
- Are magic
- Advanced pickpocket stats could aid in scoops
- Potential for puns always through the roof (good for headline writing)
- Whimsical features put athletes and other interview subjects at ease
- Next-level facial hair provides instant conversation piece
In other news, SB Nation is looking into hiring a ton of gnomes.
