Minor updates

If you can’t tell I have been a little busy the past week or so. My girlfriend Becca has been here visiting me from Texas. If you’d like to see some photos of her visit you can just head over to the photo page here and give them a look. I should be getting more up in the coming days when I get the chance. Probably a good bet sometime this weekend with the craziness of my schedule over the next two days.

Speaking of looking at the schedule, I  do have two  games coming up this weekend. Starting with one on Friday at 7pm. Both games this weekend are women’s games since the men are on the road looking to clinch their first ever Big East regular season championship!! The women are hoping to clinch their division tomorrow night with a win or tie against UConn. They will also play Providence on Sunday at 1 pm. Use the information on the right here to listen to the games. And as always let me know if things aren’t working with that.

I probably will not update any of those wonder sports rankings listed above until after this weekend. Its almost pointless to update both with the weekend games coming up in a matter of only two days.

Keep checking back here for more though, never know when I will take time and get some things done on here.

New Look…for now

Well, you know I couldn’t keep the same look on here for more than a couple weeks.

Anyways, not a lot to update really right as of now. No games coming up for the next week and a half either. The system to listen to the games has improved. I believe a lot of people had been complaining to who ever runs it and it is now working better. Lets all hope that it continues to do so.

I still plan on getting some football game photos up on here soon. I need a USB cord for my camera to do so right now. I will post a couple of me on the sidelines…I found them on a friend’s website…thank you much for that.

I do have some of my broadcast news class. Some are from anchor tryouts and some are from nights that we all go out together. So here we go…


These are from the Maryland game…and yes I do get to be on the sideline as much as I please during a game! I love it!


My class during achor tryouts a couple weeks back.


Myself, and other people from my BN class…its Jill, then Sarah, and Matt


A good majority of my BN class in there. We typically try to go and hang out once a week now…which really adds to the class since it is really hard!

Okay, that is enough for now, again I hope to get more photos on here shortly.

Well..

Well, I was hoping to post some meaningful stuff here tonight…but I have had the hardest time getting this site to work for me here. But thankfully all is working now.

Just a little update of what is going on…and when some games are.

Friday night and Satuday night at 7 there are games this weekend. Do check them out if you haven’t already. Both teams are highly ranked right now which is awesome to say and see.

Once I get the proper cord for my camera I should have some football photos from the first three games. Sitting in the pressbox, I get a nice view of everything…

Classes are going alright so f ar. This week is pretty crazy seeing how I have two tests on Thursday, a package due in broadcasting this week and the two games this weekend. Busy week but its well worth it.

More updates coming…

Last weekend before school

I have to say it stinks that summer is really over here and that I have totally gone away from posting stuff on here that I kept meaning to post. Don’t worry, I will eventually figure out what I want to do with 30 soccer photos from various soccer games that I went to. I figured I would save time and space with not posting all of those photos anyways.

But getting back to the busniess at hand.

School begins on Monday here in the University City. I have two classes (one in the morning and the other in the early evening). Then to kick the year off there is Fall Fest. Past years WVU has done well with getting solid music to kick off the school year but really the last two years have been pathetic in my eyes. I didn’t go last year and I am wondering if I will even show up this year for it. I would like to see The Roots that’s all really.

My other days this week for class (and that of the rest of the semester really) are three classes on Tuesday and Thursday and one on wednesday mornings. As usual, no Friday classes though I should have work. Speaking of work, I have not found out about my WVUF internship that I had last year for this school year. I should find out either way this week. That would definitely take up dead space on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Now, as for U92 work and soccer games. I should get the season pass for the soccer games sometime in the coming week since the first game is this coming FRIDAY at 730 pm. We should go on air at 7 or so I would think. I will post more information about the games as they come up. So keep checking back here for games and how to listen. For U92 stuff, I should have my normal Friday shift in the afternoons. Again, I will keep everyone posted on that information. Same goes for when I will appear on the SportsPage on Friday nights. I am sorry that I forgot to inform you all about me being back on the ‘Page this past Friday.

I honestly hope to do some good things with this site in the coming months. I  really hope to take more photos of things I do and see this year. So hopefully I can figure out a way to post photos in an easy manner for your viewing pleasure.

Ah….in a way it is nice to be back but I do miss summer already.

Yeah I am still lazy

Okay, I know I said I would post photos and I will…just thought I would pass along that I am back in Morgantown again and I am getting ready for another semester of school. Give me some time and I will post some final photos of the summer.

More Summer Pics

I thought today would be a decent time to post a couple more photos of the summer.


Jake in his Mr. Incredible costume. Yeah, it makes me laugh everytime I look at him in it. Seriously worth the price of admission to see him in it.


My aunt’s little dog Chloe. Yeah, she is cute what else can I say about her.


There was the goodness of Starbucks and then there is the gooooooodness of Jamba Juice! I swear its a gift from God.


Yeah, it was good…very good.

Okay, enough for now, more to come I am sure down the road.

Good day…

I felt I would upload some photos of what I’ve been into this summer. Okay, honestly they are all mostly from soccer games that I’ve been to. I haven’t taken a camera to work or anywhere else but I sort of plan to before long. So enjoy.


my room at the Fitzgerald casa.


my seat at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, TX…home of FC Dallas!!


Carlos Ruiz from a distance…he is currently the leading scorer for FC Dallas this year with (I believe) 8 goals and 3 assists. Not to shabby for a fish.


FC Dallas warming up before their match with New York Red Bulls. Yeah I was too lazy to take photos during the game so warm ups is all I got.

I will return later on hopefully with more enlighting photos of my summer.

A month down…

So I have been in Dallas for a little over a month now and I must say I still am enjoying it as much as the day I got here. It doesn’t hurt that the weather here makes you have a better mood even though it is really hot out. I like it here and I cannot believe how fast the time is getting away from me here already.

I figured I would jot down a few of the things that I probably haven’t mentioned on here that I have been up to since the last post on here which was even too long ago that I cannot recall. Anyways, even though I intern at ABC radio four days a week and I am usually pretty wiped out during the week, I still manage to get to do somethings on the weekends and even during the weekend on Wednesdays (my off day) or in the evenings during the week.

Since I got here I have been to two FC Dallas soccer games (the won one and lost one in those two games), one Texas Ranger’s game against Oakland (which the Rangers won 4-3), one rodeo…which I must say was pretty cool, and a few movies.

Of course all month long I have been glued as much as I can to the TV for the FIFA World Cup. I have to have my soccer when it is on!

Hard to believe I am pretty much half way through my summer already down here! That is the only thing about summer that I have never enjoyed or understood, how fast it always goes!

Random Thoughs

I’ve noticed some things since I have been down here in Texas. In a way these things are probably a little racial or wrong in some ways but its what I have seen.

For one, the further south from WV you go the less of an opinion people have of West Virginians. Not so out here in Texas. It seems like WV didn’t piss off any Texans, so they hardly seem to care that the state is full of hicks or anything like that. I would say that most Texans would get along great with most West Virginians.

Secondly, I’ve noticed in Mexicans or Latinos, that they and their kids are always wanting to run from things or run away to something else. Its weird but in line at 6 Flags today I noticed these little Mexican kids. They kept running away from one another and their parents seemed to just cheer them on and tell them that they were free from one another or something weird like that. Funny, yet really true that they do like to run away to other things.

Lastly, and this isn’t something I have noticed its just what is going on in my internship. This week I will start working with a morning on-air guy. He seems cool and could be the right person to get to work with anyways. Better than re-learning my ABC’s for other people in the sales offices. Yeah, I’ve been doing a lot of filing for people so far! Not bad, but it can get old and it will get old before August I am sure. At least I will have some fun things like the early mornings coming up to break them apart.

Oh, and the World Cup starts at the end of this week! I am pumped! 64 games! Yes!
