Finally...

Sorry I have not been writing but things have been going very slow here with the Guard. But not anymore, finally we are getting into Football Operations. I have offially made the swith from Saleman to Operations Staff. That is the real reason why I got the internship. Wednesday Nov 16 was my first experience working in the operations side. We got a new head coach, so I had to help out with setting up the Press Conference. Setting up included moving tables, hanging banners, and directed the media where the Conference was going to be held. I got my second taste of Operations on Sunday the 18th when the Guard held an open try-out. I got to meet the guys who were trying out, then i got to run the stopwatch for and record everything for Coach. We did the 40yd dash, and the 20yd shuttle. We only had about 10 guys show up, but there are more oppertunities in the future. I was also told some really good news, first, me and my fellow intern are going to be given a game that we are going to oversee, it is OUR game. AWESOME!! Second, i learned that I migt be doing professional stats for the Guard. I have plenty of experience with stats because that is my work study job on campus. All i have to say is this intership is filled with oppertunities and once in a life time experiences.
