We are four days removed from the first battle of the Owl football teams and I still have a bitter taste in my mouth. I'm usually pretty good at bouncing back and picking up for the next game. This week it has been tougher. To keep my cup half full attitude is a good thing because we have truly outplayed the last two opponents and just not finished. I have not always been able to say that.
So, close the book and move into this week. Both men's and women's basketball began this week as did baseball. Softball seems to be in full swing year around and those are three additions to the buffet of sporting events that fans can go to.
Volleyball continues to shine this fall and will be on the road this weekend. Now is a good time to push the streaming video option available through Conference USA and our website http://www.fausports.com/allaccess This is a good way to follow both volleyball and football this fall and it will only get better with the addition of the two basketball teams in just over a month.
Sunday and Monday were normal days at the office. Tuesday, I had the opportunity, along with a student worker, to participate in a Mistake-Free Grammar & Proofreading seminar. Normally, you would insert a joke here, but this was a good refresher, learning experience--and dare I say needed experience.
I dislike proofing the work of others and shout out a least once or twice a day "can someone come proof this for me". The nice take away is that we are doing a lot of things right. That doesn't mean we are perfect but it means we have good folks in the office and we are right more often than we are wrong, so shout out to the FAU media relations staff.
Notes have been posted and credentials distributed for this weekend. Tomorrow, Thursday, I will begin work for next week.
The Florida Atlantic versus Marshall football game also will be just the second weekend since August 24 that I have been home. So, I'm looking forward to seeing the football staffing family as well as my biological family.
This Saturday's game at UAB will not be a part of a television package but fans can watch it by live stream at http://www.uabsports.com/allaccess/?media=403761
