I’M EXCITED!!

I jumped out of bed at 4am Friday with excitement knowing that I would be inside U.S. Bank Stadium broadcasting a state football game in a couple of hours. I am a morning person, so getting up that early doesn’t bother me. I felt like a little kid getting up on Christmas morning I was so excited. I have been broadcasting high school sports for … Continue reading I’M EXCITED!!

PEOPLE I MEET AT STATE

As I was leaving the Xcel Energy Center Friday afternoon I noticed the security guard next to the media exit sleeping in his chair. I had to wake him up so he could open the door for me! We had become friends during the state volleyball tournament. He worked all three days and we carried on with small talk each day. Thursday he told me … Continue reading PEOPLE I MEET AT STATE

I WANTED TO GO TO STATE

When I was in high school playing sports I didn’t get the chance to play in a state tournament.

Lac qui Parle Valley was opening their season against the Braves in a … Continue reading WON’T BE HOME FOR DINNER

LAUGH TILL YOU CRY!

Tuesday night while broadcasting volleyball in Dawson I made a blunder while introducing the starting lineups. It was a very embarrassing moment. It was a moment that turned into a good belly laugh. Sometimes when you embarrass yourself you just have to own it! Don’t try and hide it but just let people know you messed up and move on. At Dawson I sit at … Continue reading LAUGH TILL YOU CRY!

RETIRE?

I turn 64 this month and thoughts of retirement have crossed my mind recently. Last weekend at our class reunion I was surprised at how many classmates have decided to retire. When will I know that I want to retire? Friday night I was in Tracy to broadcast a football game between Lac qui Parle Valley and the Panthers of Tracy-Milroy-Balaton. As I was getting … Continue reading RETIRE?
