Homecoming Week

 It is a really big week on campus throughout the week due to homecoming. Homecoming is a great chance to get involved with different organizations and different activities that are going on around campus. I have received countless emails about different events that are happening around campus. Some of these events include BizBash, Career Fair, Dodgeball, and many many more.

Due to Covid, Homecoming was cancelled last year and I didn't get to experience it. Now this year with homecoming week coming back to life I get to experience different events that homecoming week brings. One of these events that I get to participate in is the football game. In high school, the football game was kind of the main event of homecoming week and I feel like it could be the same in college. Homecoming royalty is usually crowned during halftime of the football game. The crowd at the homecoming football game is usually always bigger than the typical crowd. Alumni, friends, and family packed the stands to see their loved ones play. Many other family members come up to visit their children during this week. 

The good thing about this years homecoming game is that the game itself is supposed to be very competitive. We play the Marietta Pioneers this week and they are a very solid football team. Due to the expected competitiveness of this football team, I expect that to be another reason why the crowd is packed in at Dial-Roberson Stadium. I am very glad that homecoming week is back and I get to experience it for this first time while my main highlight being the football game. So if you have any free time go check out the football game on Saturday at 1:30!

    I enjoyed reading this blog especially since I was thinking of blogging about the same subject. Homecoming week will always remind me of high school homecoming and how much fun it was. I am also pumped for the football game this Saturday especially since it is against Marietta. Keep up the good work and good luck Saturday!

    Homecoming week is a lot like in high school, and it is still really fun and so much to do! The football game is the most anticipated thing for homecoming, so I'm really excited to see the crowd and watch the game. Good Luck!

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...

Football is Over

 After days of practices, meetings, and games, it hurts to say the 2021 football season has come to a close. I know it hasn't necessarily been one of the better years this program has had but I loved every second of it. There really is nothing like going out with your brothers and playing 60 minutes of football, the game you love the most. If you haven't seen it already we lost in a devastating fashion. We lost on a hail mary ball in the endzone with 8 seconds left after driving down and scoring 30 seconds before that. That was the part that really stung. We, underclassmen, were doing everything in our power to try to send these seniors out on top and it just didn't work out. Now it is time to move on as much as it hurts. I am now a junior football-wise and the preparation for next season starts now. I definitely need to get to work this offseason. Last year we never really had an offseason. Since the Covid year moved everything to the spring we never really had any time of...

Fall Break Fun

 This past weekend into early this week was fall break here at ONU. We also had a bye week for football. This gave me the opportunity to go home for the weekend. When I was home I got to spend some valuable time with my friends and family that I haven't seen in over 2 months. It is always good to get the chance to go home and see all the people you missed the most. It was a really relaxing weekend for me. My family and I went out to eat on Friday night and caught some of my old high school football team's game. I also got to hang out with some of my friends and watch a movie with them. On Saturday, all of my friends and I went golfing during the day. I might not be very good at golf, but it was fun to be able to golf and hang out with all of my friends again. After golf, we all went back to my friend's house and watched some football and had a campfire. My favorite nights are when I can just sit around the fire with some of my closest friends and have fun together. Sunday c...
