Game #1 Recap

 Game number one is finally in the books. After all the long, hot days of preseason camp and all the 6 hour sleepless nights, we finally got the chance to compete in a meaningful football game, and man it was fun. After not raining for nearly four weeks of preseason camp, mother nature had other plans in order for Saturday night. From pretty much kickoff until the final snap it was pouring. Usually, I would hate playing in the rain, but for some reason, the whole team embraced the conditions and we had a heck of a time. It is always easy when you are winning and playing well.



From the first snap, our offense and defense were clicking on all cylinders. We went down and scored the first drive in the season in a quick fashion and it was awesome to see. It was great to see us get a win after all the work we put in during the preseason that no one gets to see. The crowd at Dial Roberson Stadium and everyone in the ONU community got to see what the Bears are all made of. There were a lot of good memories of Saturday night. One of those memories is seeing some of the underclassmen step up and go in the game and making an impact immediately. There is something very special about this team and I am so excited to see what we still have in store.

I know I have said this countless times but I am very grateful to be a part of this program and this university. There was a huge crowd that braved the conditions and helped us get us a win on opening night. I know there are a lot of universities that wouldn't get the support that we do and I know the whole team is grateful for it. The football team really feels like a family. We spend most of our time during the fall together and I wouldn't have it any other way. The coaches really care about you and want you to succeed. This whole campus is a community and I am glad to be just a small part of it.

    Noah, good win Saturday night! It is always great when the Polar Bears get a win, especially in the season opener underneath the lights! I love when you talked about being truly grateful to be a part of a sports team here at such a great university and a community that supports them, I feel the same way. I saw you had a good game also, and got a couple catches. Keep up the good work, Noah.

Chapter 1 Material

One of the biggest concepts I comprehended out of the content in chapter one of the introduction of social media is the different advantages and disadvantages of social media. I want to focus on the advantages. Some of the advantages of social media include being able to build your brand, communicating with family and friends, and capturing memories. The most important advantage from the chapter for me is being able to connect with family and friends while also collecting memories along the way. Family and friends are two of the biggest components of my life and they always will be. Being away from my family and friends during college can be very stressful. I am very guilty of relying on my mom and dad to do many things for me. Even though I am a sophomore now, I still am trying to adapt and settle in to do things on my own. Even though I struggle at times, the access to social media has given me the opportunity to connect with my family and friends so I feel like I have a little bit o...

PRSSA Meeting

 For one of my school assignments, we had to attend an event this week around campus with homecoming. Due to my busy schedule this weekend I chose to attend the PRSSA meeting Thursday night. There were some other events to pick from but with my schedule being very busy this was the only event that I could get to go to. In addition to just attending, we also had to live-tweet this event giving updates with key takeaways from the event. This isn't the most orthodox assignment for a class that I get to do, but it was actually pretty interesting. This PRSSA meeting was all about ethics. September is Ethics Month in this organization so it was only fitting that our meeting would be over ethics and how it ties into public relations. For this event, they brought in a couple of guest speakers. These guest speakers were Ronele Dotson and Jo Ann LeSage Nelson. They talked about different types of crises and walked us through different case studies with what they had to deal with. What I like...

Thanksgiving Break

 Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...
