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.

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.

Sunday All Day (On the Road)
On the Road...Just can't wait to get on the road again.
This week we arein Columbus, Ohio to go against sixth-ranked Ohio State and this was good trip.
I was kind of excited for this trip becuase it is not every day that you get to Ohio State and see Buckeye country.
The week leading up to the meet was a little bit lgither than usual becuase all I have to do is notes (To remind everyone, notes are a small packet that SIDs and media use for quick facts about the team or game).
So, after finishing my notes I worked on other small stuff that needs to be updated throughout the year on SoonerSports.com (career highs on the bio pages, stats and media note links).
We left on Friday afternoon, which was wierd becuase we usually leave in the morning. So I got to do some things around the house and getting ready.
It was a rough ride to Chicago and then to Columbus because of some thunderstorms in the area. I have been on some flight with turbulance but not lightning.
Ohio State was awesome. The meet was in the afternoon,which made it easier to get the story out in time. The weather was nice, too. When we got back it was colder than when we left and colder than Ohio State.
Overall, it was a good trip and the Ohio State was very helpful with the results and anything I needed to do my job.
And of course....we won.
NEXT, Penn State.

Hello Everybody...like anyone is listening.
Well, this week was a easier one than the rest of the season. For some reason away meets are easier.
Whether it be just not much to prepare for...I think that is it...or it is knowing that you dont have to deal with all the people.
Eventhough I love the university and this was one of the least challenging weeks of the season, this was the most stressfull two weeks with the administration and coaches I have ever had to experience.
I have never heard more gripping and whinning for coaches and administration than this week. It was absolutily disgusting and unattractive to the university.
I don't know whether it is just this university athletics program or the type of people but it made me not want to work here.
Well........the team did good. Doing notes for this team was easy, it is always easy. This team is great and I can only hope to work with them some more.
I will not be traveling wih the team to Penn State but I will be going to Buckeye town (Ohio State). The team lost today to Stanford but we all knew it was goingto happen. Right know they are better than we are but we will keep working hard and will see what happens at the National Championship.
Thanks to all....se you next week.

Last week was very busy....Hmmmm...just like every week, I guess.
Eventhough it was a tough week was class and everything, it was still a great learning experience. This week was the week that we could all prepare for the upcoming MPSF conference championships.
We were able to do this becuase both sixth-ranked Minnesota dn the Texas club team came to the meet.
I was able to order more scoring pads that way we could have one at each event. This was great because we did not have to move this around.
We all did the rotation schedule like it would be at the conference championship.
Everything went as planned and it went smoothly. The one thing I realized is that if the coches don't come over everything is ok.
Next week we are on the road at Nebraska and Stanford is coming...it should be a epic meet.
