Worked on the same old thing now...baseball and gymnastics review.
Everyting seems in slow motion right now but the owrk for school has picked up. It was almost perfect timing to have all the school work come at me after I got back from the 2010 NCAA Championships.
Bedlam baseball is coming up soon. We will be working on credintials for the series because there is a lot of media that comes to that series.
People around the office are gone a lot more this time of year becuase there is really nothing to do. Luckly this year, unlike last year, we are not hosting baseball and softball NCAA tournaments this year. That is nice becaause they can be hectic.
Spring football has started as well. That is a fun time of year because it just reminds us of what is around the corner.
Well get back to work next week...I promise.

Well after the hectic trip to West Point the season is over...for the gymnasts.
While they are getting ready for the summer, I must work on postseason releases and statistics. Although I must say that even though things are still moving around in the office, it is still not as fast as the regular season.
I have had some time to reflect on my time this year with the men's gymnastics team and I realized that I can't complain about my time with the team this year. I saw many thing over the season and it was a wierd trip.
Yes, gymnasts are the whinnest group of athletes at the University of Oklahoma but they are good at what they do. I think there is also a little bit of the angry short man syndrome associated with all of them but they can win championships.
All of my time now will be directed to helping with baseball, finishing gymnastics stuff and graduating. YES!!!
Thank God the season is over...See ya later 2010 season.

Monday-9:00-12:00, 3:30-4:00
2010 Men's Gymnastics NCAA National Championships
Tuesday: (All-Day)
Wednesday: (All-Day)
Thursday: (All-Day)
Friday: (All-Day)
Saturday: (All-Day)
Sunday: (All-Day)
This is the week that everyone was waiting for all season. This is what the team was working for and now it is finally here.
The week started with last mintue preparations on Monday...mostly packing.
Last year, I overpacked but I will not make that mistake again.
On Tuesday, had the earliest wake-up call ever when we decided to leave OKC at 7:00. that means we all had to meet at the gym at 4:45. It was bad.
The flight was good and coming into Newark, N.J. we could see downtown NYC. It was awesome.
The first day of competition was Thursday and the days leading up to that was just perparation with the website. I was bloging about the whole experience on SoonerSports.com. It was difficult at first but I think I got the hang of it after a while. Next year, it will be better. I noticed I wasn't rushing everything like last year. I could stop and enjoy the moment for a second but only for a second because if you take too long someone is there to kick you in the head and say NO.
The championship was at the United State Military Academy at West Point and that was really cool. We got some time to go around and see all the cool stuff there.
We came in third in the team competition but claimed two Individual National titles on the third night and evryone seemed happy about that.
The local media back home picked up evrything well but it some of the small stuff was not the way I would have liked it. (You live and you learn, I guess)
Next year I will be better.

This was a busy week. This is the one time of year that I don't like but excited for the next week.
I started preparing for the NCAA National Championships this week and it requires a lot of preparation before we leave.
The main preparation is making a post-season guide with all the updated statistics and results. It is a lot of work in a sort time period.
I also have to send in a lot of roster information to be place in the program.
After finishing everything I send it to the host site which this year is the United States Military Academy in West Point.
It will be an awesome trip and I am looking forward to it. The only downfall is the length of time on the trip. It will be for a whole week and we leave at 4:45 in the morning. That is bad.
I guess it was the only flight that we could find direct to Newark, N.J.
Next week, I will blog about the experience at West Point.

Well the big week is here and it is not fun. This is the first time in my career at OU that I have not had fun. With everything that went on this week I was very glad that anything didn't fall through the cracks.
This is also a big week for the Communications and Marketing offices, because this is our chance to host a big gymnastics event and try a get a lot of people there.
The week of the event I created a autograph sheets for Bart Conner adn Jonathan Horton to sign. This was big having them here because they are Olympic medal winners and the faces of USA gymnastics right now.
I was also put in charge of making flyers for the event to pass our the Norman community and the campus. This was a pain in the neck. I am not supposed to be doing this but I did anyway, which made my life a more living hell.
Not only was I making these but also organizing five teams in the score system and making release and notes. Cordinating media was also a big concern for the event. We got two tv spots and multiple newspaper hits.
It was a very busy week!!
The other side is that WE WON!! This is our 10th MPSF conference championship in 12th years
and our 18th overall.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
See you next week for the preparation for the National Championship.

This was hell week. I don't remember a busy week like this.
I am preparing for the MPSF Men's Gymnastics Conference Championships on Saturday, April 3 at 7 pm.
It is going to be our last home meet of the year and it will be a big one. Stanford, Cal, Air Force and Nebraska will be there. We will have to have our best stuff to beat most of these teams.
If you look at our scores from the past meets, I think that we have the scores to do it. If we are all hitting, than no one can stop us.
I have been given some extra stuff this week to work on that are not in my job discription and I will have to address this at the end of this year to the gymnastics staff. Such as: extra flyers about the meet, autograph sheets for Jon Horton and Bart Conner, they tried to have me make a poster but that is a NCAA violation and I wouldnot do it, ect.
Next week will be hell week part II but it should be ok. I have worked ahead a little bit and got some notes updated.
I can't believe the season is almost over. It will be so nice not having to mess with this for the rest of the season.
I will see you next week...maybe, if I am not dead.

Thursday: All Day (Ford Center)
Friday: DAY OFF
Saturday: 3-10:30 (Ford Center)
Sunday 5:00-10:30 (LNC Women's Tournament)
Spring Break....Yeah Right!!
To every person that went on vaction this spring break, I hate you.
This was the most hectic week I have hadin a long time. We are hosting the Women's NCAA Tournament and some of us worked the Men's NCAA Tournament at the Ford Center as well. What made it hectic was that almost everyone that works in our office left for spring break. So,everyone left had to do all the work.
Not only that, I had to prepare for the meet gymnastics meet against Penn State.
We had to make credentitals for everone attending, name cards for people to sit and make flipcards with all the roster information on it.
It is quite the undertaking for anyone trying to host the event. Especially for spring break week. It was also toubling to see that our own communications office had some communication breakdowns as well with scheduling.
With all of that, I and some others went to the Ford Center to work men;s basketball games for the NCAA. They were great becuase we saw the nine seed Northern Iowa beat the number one overll seed Kansas. It was really funny seeing all those Kansas fans upset.
Oh, I also stayed behind to helpout with everything here and opted not the go to Penn State for the meet.
This is not the first time that I didn't go on a trip for men's gymnastics. I did not go to Nebraska as well.
I am still working tonight. The OU women are playing San Diego State tonight in the first round of the tournament.
And...men's gymnastics won...again. We are good.
Next week we have a off date but I will blog about preparations for the MPSF conference championships.
