Homecoming Weekend

This week on campus is homecoming weekend. My email has been flooded with different homecoming events that are going on throughout campus this week. One of these events that are being broadcasted to the ONU campus is a cornhole tournament for the sport management club. For my facilities and event management class, we are tasked with getting 100 teams to compete in this tournament. There is one big problem we have right now. We only have 23 teams signed up, so we have plenty of space to make up. Hopefully, my professor is lenient with his grading because I don't think we are going to make it.

Anyways, homecoming is a huge weekend on campus for many groups on campus. Pretty much every sports team is holding special events during this week. Also, I have talked to many sororities and fraternities broadcasting some events that they are putting on. 


The football game on Saturday will be the most packed homecoming event on campus as many different groups that were holding these other events are going to be in attendance for the game. Also, during homecoming weekend is when many alumni come back to campus to see old friends and faculty. 

In conclusion, homecoming weekend is a huge weekend on campus for all students and faculty of Ohio Northern University to hold and attend different events to get people involved with different activities. I am very excited about this weekend, and I think many other people are as well.

Coming to an End

 If you are following the football team and our season, you know that this is the season's last week and last game. I am not going to lie, it has been a very long season for us. We are currently 2-7 which is very unfamiliar territory for many players on our team. In high school, I never had a season with more than 3 losses, so this has been relatively different for me.  Even though our record doesn't show it, this has been the closest team that I have been a part of since coming to campus three years ago. In the future, that is what we are all going to remember. We are going to remember the relationships that we formed and that are going to last for the rest of our lives.  Some of the seniors that are graduating have been some of my best friends for the last three years. I actually live with two seniors that are graduating now. As this week has gone on and we continue to do events for senior week, it has gotten to be very emotional. I still don't think it has hit me that so

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

Bounce Back

The game on Saturday was not fun. If you don't already know we got upset very badly at Musky. I don't think anyone on the team really expected us to lose this game. We had an iffy week of practice, but I don't think anyone really predicted that we would end up losing the game. In my personal opinion, I thought that we were the better team with more talented players, but we just didn't get it done. I felt embarrassed and upset after this game. I was in pure shock. I had a long bus ride home to think about how the game went as a whole and what we exactly did right and wrong. I did a lot of soul searching on the way home and I realized that I have to be better and it starts now.  What is most important now is to bounce back. There is no point in dwelling on this game anymore. There is nothing that we can do about it anymore so we shouldn't think about it. The only thing that we as a team can do is to bounce back. It all starts during practice. Everyone knows the saying
