He also sent me this....

Sir,

I feel like we are playing email tag since I just sent that 5 minutes
ago. I guess we are both on our lunch break. Ever since that column,
honestly, I have been in a depressed state. I have been nauseated
and can hardly go through my daily life.
When the SIU-Creighton game nears, I plan to run something
positive about officials. Truth be told, my uncle and cousin are
officials. I don't believe those things I wrote. When I wrote crooked, I
meant biased.

But I know officials are people. I understand that. I just basically want
this heat to end. It was written over a week ago in a college paper.
I understand everyone is pissed(officials) but I was just trying to
humor a college campus. That isn't easy. I should have taken a
higher road when I did it. But I am 19 and will make mistakes along
my journey. I know that. Actually, I am damned lucky to be able to
work at this good of a college newspaper. It was a rated the top
college newspaper.

I am just a freshman and haven't had a class yet. I work my *** off
though. My dad taught me that, he owns a concrete construction
company and told me to never to slack.
So last year in high school, I worked at a newspaper, so that I can
get on here. I got lucky. I come from a great family who is supportive.

I have a very dry humor. Those who know and read me before,
understand that when they saw my column. And I am very sarcastic,
so if someone didn't know me or read me, they'd think I am cocky
little pissant.

Hope you can convey this to others,
Best wishes,
Zack Creglow
