The Want

Maybe it'll pass maybe it won't but after last night I truly seemed to miss my home state of Nebraska. Perhaps it was not being able to watch the Western Kentucky-Nebraska game at the bar that I did last year for PPV game (new management/ownership). But today the thought kept popping into my head that I should try to get into grad school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Why? It may just be nothing but I swear I've seen alumnus of Nebraska who are in my field of college athletics get further than me (27 years old and spent the last two years and change as an intern) from having a UNL degree. I'll point out hard work obviously will come into play and I feel I do that but keep coming up in chances for full-time work. Having a masters would be nice and getting it from Nebraska is something I've dreamed of forever having spent my first 25 years in the Cornhusker State. Clearly this is something that couldn't happen until next year and tests would have to be taken etc etc but its in my mind.

Do the Right Thing Sports:

I've been thinking of this idea for quite awhile now and wonders why the alphabet networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX won't do this (ok I do understand why). But give the consumers weekday network games in places which sitcoms haven't worked out for networks lately. Sports cost much less then shows do to produce and the drama is real. Sure I'm a sports fan but having a NBA game on ABC during the week like you do the NFL on Monday night would be huge. Networks use to do this in the 70-80's until they decided no more but I think it be great to have Saturday night baseball again, a hockey night in America etc etc. If ESPN can draw healthy numbers just think of a network doing so, and you could do this without conflicts of you local news. At last this is probably just another pipe dream to if I controlled the world but its something I'd love to see.

Upcoming Goals

As I review where I am current with my life I've decided there are somethings I'd like to knock out sooner than later.

- I graduated in 2008 and still haven't found a full-time job (yes the economy sucks but being an post-grad intern for the last 20 months needs to change)

- How far can I go in sports information with the late start I've seemed to got at it and should I look into changing career just so I can get a full-time job.

- Girlfriend this is something I'd really like to accomplish seeing how I've never had a serious GF in my life.

All for now and...

Latest and Greatest 08/14/10

Here is the scorecard from my summer of trying to finally getting a full-time job and shedding myself from being the nomadic intern for hire. Not that I haven't appreciated my time following my 2008 graduation from Nebraska-Kearney but after being a athletic communications assistant (really an intern) at Florida Tech and now a media relations intern at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. I'm still optimistic/hopefully something will work out before Sept. 1 and Tuesday will be another chance with another phone interview. So again the scorecard first the no's then then no's with a phone interview then the no with an on-campus interview to the haven't heard back.

No's: Wisconsin-Green Bay, Southern Utah, Winona State, Pepperdine, Evansville, UNC-Pembroke, Niagara, Wichita State, Minnesota, St. Francis (PA), Kansas, Houston, Rollins, Creighton, Nebraska-Omaha, North Dakota State, Pittsburgh, Stanford, West Florida, UC Davis, Oregon State, Eckerd, City College of New York, Wofford, Arkansas

No's w/ Phone Inteview: Gonzaga, West Alabama, Western Athletic Conference (it's been three weeks +)

No's w/ On-Campus Interview: College of Saint Mary's Omaha

Still Waiting to Hear Back: Michigan State, Omaha Nighthawks, New Mexico, West Coast Conference, Iowa, Missouri Valley Conference, Iowa State, San Jose State, Pacific, UNLV, Arizona, Vanderbilt, Southern Illinois, Central Florida, Holy Family, Texas Stars (AHL)

Which brings me to Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. when I have a phone interview with the University of Oregon for another internship position but this one would be a high profile school which I'd think in 12 months would increase my chances for a full-time position. Even if it means waiting that much longer.

NL 3 AL 1

Well for the first time since 1996 at Philadelphia's Veteran Stadium the National League All Star team defeat the American League squad. Tonight at Angels Stadium in Anaheim the NL behind the game's MVP Brian McCann of the Braves had a base clearing three-run double giving the senior circuit a 3-1 lead, which was the final score. I was 13 years old the last time the AL won which I'm a fan of having been a Royals lifer. Oh well the 13-0-1 streak comes to an end in All Star Games until next year in Phoenix.

Blog One

Seeing Amy Bice having a blog has inspired me to start my own which will probably mainly talk about sports and sports issues. I'd also like to think this kill my livejournal.
