I am beyond blessed to be a part of the National Sports Journalism Center. And part of my experience includes getting media credentials for the Big Ten Championship Game between Ohio State and Michigan State. Follow this blog to see what the entire experience is like for me.
College Level
#thanks: inspiring stories
The people that know me really well, know that baseball is my first love. They also know that I’m not the person to come to when the story is basketball related. It is extremely unlikely that I will read a basketball game preview or recap. I’m more likely to read a feature about a player […]
Honoring Newtown, CT
The tears come and go as I try to wrap my head around what happened in Newtown, CT. I cannot fathom the pain or the grief, but I continue to pray that these families will find the strength they need to move forward. The lives of those children will never be forgotten – they will […]
Pink in October
One of my favorite things about the fall is being able to sit on the couch, wrapped in my favorite blanket, watching a football game on TV. But there is something special about watching NFL games in October. It has everything do with the pink accents that grace everything from gloves to hats and shoes […]
Madden curse has nothing on Megatron
There has always been talk of the curse of the Madden cover. Whatever player graces the cover has always had a horrible season following the introduction of that year’s game. Some Detroit Lions fans were worried when they learned that Calvin Johnson would be on the cover of Madden. Other fans weren’t so worried. They […]
Lions Arrests.
I have never seen or heard of a team getting arrested as many times as members of the Detroit Lions have this year. Reading articles about “who got in what trouble with the law this week”, isn’t exciting as a Lions fan. It brings groans and moans about how the team needs to change. This […]
Harvard Baseball
I watched this video and laughed. I watched it again and showed my friends. I watched it a third time and wondered if it could be topped. I watched it a fourth time when I read an article about how it was created. I watched it a fifth time and realized I’d help this video […]
They Don’t Call it March Madness for Nothing
Basketball really isn’t my thing, but I do tune in to watch a few of the games during March Madness. I often cheer for the underdog especially against the big teams (beside Michigan State – I always cheer for them). Yesterday was a really bad day to be a number two seed. Duke – eliminated. […]
Suh’s Publicity
I wish the Lions were getting better publicity. The quote, “any publicity is good publicity” doesn’t fit this situation well. Ndamukong Suh gets suspended for stomping on a player. Then he gives a crappy apology that doesn’t even mention the other player’s name. Saying I’m sorry to my fans just isn’t enough for me.
Small College Intramurals
I love all things sports which is why I’m willing to sit out in the freezing cold (it’s 27 degrees at my college) and watch some flag football. I’d prefer that it were tackle just because there’s nothing like seeing a group of girls who have never played a sport before try to tackle someone. […]
