Just a note

So over the weekend I got to see the progress on the new townhouse that I am moving into next month. It basically looks like appliances in the kitchen, some wall fixtures and carpet need to be put in before we move in. Oh yeah and the back deck needs finished too. My bedroom has a door to the back deck and currently if you open the door its a good 20 foot drop to the ground!

Anywho…today is the last home game for the men’s basketball team. Hard to believe this season is already coming into March Madness, which is also the best month for hoops in the year.

Still no word on the internship in Dallas. I applied to more teams in the MLS over the weekend too. I figured it wouldn’t hurt one bit…because you just never know. I will probably continue to apply to more as the weeks go on here before spring break (which is only two more weeks away!!!!). Also, I am starting to look at radio stations and/or tv stations in those markets that cover those soccer games. I figure that wouldn’t be a bad idea as well to at least try. I still have one internship in Pittsburgh that I won’t need to apply for until April. That one looks to be pretty promising from the sounds of emails that I got back in January.

As always, I will keep ya posted!

Alrighty, looks like I will be on the weekly sports talk show on U-92 tomorrow night at 9 PM ET. Give it a listen, it should be good.

Secondly, I am working on a photo section for the ol’ 6 here. I did away with my old photos from high school when I changed things and moved hosts late last year so don’t expect to see too many if any at all of those photos. I mean most of them are 4 years old or so…kinda crazy to think that now but its the truth. I will let you all know more about that when I get to it.

Sorry for the troubles…Maybe next time

Sometimes you can’t do a thing when it comes to computer problems. I know many of you tried to listen to me tonight call the women’s game against Notre Dame but the connection was in and out. It happens more than it should at U92, but at least you tried to listen and for that I thank you greatly.

WVU ended up losing in a pathetic display of heart in the second half by most of the WVU players. Its sad to think that this team could very well not make the Big East tournament in the women’s side of things. Hard to believe when we began the year with great hope but inconsistant play will kill you more and more over time and this young team has found that out the tough way. Not to mention the best player on the team going down with 10 games or so to go never helpes.

That will probably do it for me doing women’s game this year…no post season in real sight other than maybe the Big East tournament. Baseball is next at our station…I honestly have no idea how much I will work those games. I’d like to say some but again real hard to tell at this point. I am starting to look more foward to soccer season here every day. I miss doing those games and watching those teams, even if they aren’t playing well. Yeah I am still a soccer geek at heart and I don’t even care.

Thankfully now this week if half over and I can focus on school and other things. I currently need to find some story ideas for my broadcasting class which is easier said than done at this point. I will do my best as always.

Its offical

As always, I try to tell everyone when I am working a game, mainly when I am calling a game. Tomorrow at 6:30 ET I will go on air and do color commentary for the women’s game against Notre Dame. Tip will be at 7 following our pre-game coverage. Should be a good game since both teams are in need of a W.

Just click the U-92 link on here around that time and enjoy. I will do my best to make it a good game from the broadcasting booth.

Wednesday’s Game

I know I didn’t get to call the game today against Pitt, but I should be calling the game Wednesday against Notre Dame. Again the key word is SHOULD. I was told at least that I would be so again I should be. I will let you all know hopefully by tomorrow night if I am or not. If I do, then the game will be at 7 pm and pre-game coverage will kick off around 6:30.

Basketball Game Today

Working another game today at the radio station. Sadly I won’t be doing color commentary for the women’s game today. I was assigned to do my normal post game show. A little bit of a let down but that’s life sometimes. Nonetheless, tune in around 4ish to listen to me. Hopefully it will all go over smoothly, I have a new kid on air with me today so hopefully he won’t be too nervous or anything on air. I think he will be fine though.

Again click the links and then U-92…then the listen live link. Its all realitivly simple folks. If you want to listen to the game itself it starts at 2, my good friend Sean is doing the play-by-play today. He was the guy I traveled to Atlanta with for the Sugar Bowl. He will be doing the game with Mike (the guy I normall do soccer games with) and another new guy Dave (who should be good at this…), so tune in. It’s against Pitt so hopefully we can take down our rival.

Other news, we are now getting under 30 days until we move here next month. Very exciting news while it is a blistering 10 degrees out today! lol

Nice little weekend ahead

Yes, the weekend is here and I am hoping for a real nice one too. Mom and Dad are coming to visit while there is a full weekend of sports ahead. WVU battles UConn in a big game. I mean big folks…number one coming into town is always huge. Anyways, I am still waiting to see if I will be doing a women’s game this weekend. It is home against Pitt which means I could be doing color commentary for it. I hope to at least so I will let you all know as soon as I do whether or not I will be broadcasting that game on Sunday at 2 pm.

Also, I am thinking about changing a couple things on here. I’ve been messing with a program that was included in my hosting package with this website. So far I like the looks of it and I’ve been messing around with it by making a mock soccer site to just see if I like it or not. So I may be changing to that style soon, so you will see if I do or not. If you’d like a quick look at it then click here and see what I mean about it. Keep in mind that is only a mock draw of things and not an actual site. I was bored last weekend when I was messing around with it all.

Still no word on the internship in Texas. I am thinking of just calling FC Dallas next week sometime and see what’s up with my application and if they even got it. So again we will see…just keep your fingers crossed.

Game Night

I know its a bit short notice but click the links and then U92 to listen to me live tonight calling a women’s basketball game against Rutgers….pre-game coverage starts at 6:30 and I would guess we will go until around 9:30 with post game coverage too. SO listen…do it!

One for the thumb

So some of you have asked who I will be living with soon. Well that’s easy my brother, his girlfriend and her little brother. I know that’s easier said than done but here are photos of those lovely three just so you get a sense of who they are a little better…plus I know Jennifer has been dying to get her photo on the ol’ epp6.com….
