Valpo Heads to Title Game

November 6th, 2009

Yes, this blog will have sports in it. I can’t help it. After all, I am covering the women’s soccer team right now.

In addition to being the WVUR webmaster, I’m a member of the WVUR Sports staff, broadcasting numerous Crusader sports contests and analyzing them on Your Crusader Sports Source (6-7:00 P.M. every Wednesday). Right now, Peter Berg and I are in Milwaukee to call the women’s soccer team’s action at the Horizon League Championships, and we are having a great time so far…

On the way to Milwaukee, we watched Miracle, a fantastic sports movie about the U.S. Hockey Team’s victory over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics. We are also eating great food, passing Miller Park and the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower (world’s largest four-faced clock) on the way to the field, and we’re now in the championship game. Valpo played a great game against Wright State in the semis, and they will face Milwaukee for the tournament title on Sunday. Because the Wright State match was the WVUR Game of the Week, the Milwaukee match will become WVUR Game of the Week #2! Broadcast starts at 12:40 P.M. on 95.1-FM, WVUR. It should be a great game to follow, but that’s enough of me for tonight. I’ll talk some more about this at another time.

Happy birthday, Sesame Street!

WVUR Blog Schedule

October 31st, 2009

This is the link to the blog schedule for WVUR managers. The plan is to have 2 blog entries “each week,” which does contain some overlap when months begin and end. Each manager should have one post per month unless otherwise noted. As General Manager, Cameron can post an entry whenever his little heart pleases.

Every week contains the names of 2 departments and a date. This indicates who needs to blog and what date indicates the start of your “blogging week.” I will also send email notifications to managers to remind you of your posting dates in case you forget or are confused.

These are the “rules” for the special blogging weeks. The last 2 weeks in December have “XMAS” listed. During this time, I’d like to have everyone write a “Christmas post” in addition to your regular assigned monthly post. In spring break, the word “optional” is listed. Naturally, anyone who is scheduled to blog during those weeks does not have to do so, but anyone who wants to post something about their spring break is more than welcome to. Finally, May has “Seniors, TBA” scheduled. Everyone should write a final post about your year whenever you choose to do so. For seniors and any other non-returning managers, this will be more like a “Goodbye” post of some type.

That’s all I have for everyone today. I’ll be back soon for my November post. As always, ask me any questions you have.

Happy birthday, Lutherans! (It’s not just Halloween today)

Fall Break! How About My First Post?

October 14th, 2009

2 months ago, everything was different. As a management staff, we were preparing for SourceStock 2009 and the school year hadn’t even started yet. Now, I’m just thankful that I finally get a break. Fall Break is a great time for me because I can take some time off, but I can also catch up with my radio and school work.

I really enjoy being here at Valpo, especially at WVUR. I’m the station’s webmaster, a DJ, and a member of sports staff. That, combined with classes, keeps me pretty busy, but it’s fun, too. Over the next few days, I’ll host a volleyball broadcast, call play-by-play for a men’s soccer broadcast, and I’m also preparing to put a new banner on the website’s home page. It’s a new venture called “WVUR Game of the Week” where we promote a special broadcast we’ll be airing over the week, like an important conference match or an instate rivalry game. Plus, the time away from classes gives me an opportunity to catch up on school work. That way, I can feel less overwhelmed by the time classes resume and I’ll have less work to do later. Let’s not forget, I’m going to spend a lot of time doing nothing. It’s well deserved considering how hard we’ve all had to work over the last two months.

Overall, I’m really looking forward to Fall Break. It’ll be a great opportunity for everyone to relax and recharge before returning to the daily grind of work and school. That’s it for Post #1. Hope you all enjoyed.

Happy birthday, Jim Rome!
