...Since I am going to be so insanely busy this weekend, I thought I would preview what's coming up in my life in the next "couple-a-couple-a days" (that quote is for you J-Mob).
Today: Today is Meg's last day to teach the little hood rats at Cameron Elementary School! Whoop! It is a half day, so I am looking forward to seeing her way earlier than normal! The In-Laws are coming to town tonight to hit up the NCAA Regional Baseball Tourney with us. The 4 teams in the College Station Regional are Texas A&M, Dallas Baptist, University of Houston, and Illinois-Chicago. A&M is the 1 seed playing the 4th seeded Flames of UIC. The 2 & 3 seeds are the Patriots from DBU and the good ol' Coogs from U of H, respectively. It is double elimination with the championship game on Sunday night, and again on Monday if necessary. Here is the complete NCAA tourney bracket for all of you to check out just in case you haven't seen it yet. On top of that our Softball team plays again today against the University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns. Love that mascot name. They have crazy fans (as you can imagine with a name like that). Their baseball team was at the College Station Regional last season and they came out in strong numbers and were VERY vocal. I don't know if it was the coon in their blood, or the alcohol...whatever it was they were a rowdy bunch of fools!...Softball won last night against Virginia Tech, 1-0, in their opening game of the Women's College World Series to set up tonight's match up. U-La-La beat #1 Florida on a solo blast in extra innings, and they have beaten the A&M women once this season already. So it should be a great game.
Tomorrow: Saturday will be a busy work day. Meg is going back to work for the last time in Cameron (Thank you Lord!) and will be bringing home the last of her stuff after another half-day of working. Please be in prayer that she gets another, way better job somewhere closer to our home in College Station.... I am technical directing (or TD'ing as we like to call it in "the biz") the big screen show for the 12:30 afternoon loser's bracket game and then the 6:30 evening winner's bracket game, which will hopefully include A&M (fingers crossed). The non-A&M game will be a non camera show with nothing but head shots of players and stupid NCAA mandated video elements (such as their dumb commercials, trivia games, and their so-called pump up videos...lame, I know). The A&M games, for the fans' enjoyment, we will do live cameras with instant replay and also include the same silly NCAA videos. Ahhh the NCAA...that is another rant for another time and place. Needless to say I will be busy most of the day.
Sunday: 2 weeks ago Fox Sports decided it would be a good idea to broadcast 12th Man Production's video feed out for the nation to watch the A&M-Texas series finale from Olsen Field. It was overall a very fun and rewarding experience to be a part of, but it was definitely rough around the edges. Well, Fox loved it so much that they are picking up both Sunday games (and the Monday one if it is played) again for broadcast across the region. Be sure to tune in on FSN SW at some point during the day to see 12th Man Productions in action! The first game we televised I was working the Fox Box and was dubbed the so-called "scoring coordinator" by my boss. Simply stated I am operating the computer that shows the viewing audience the score, inning, balls, strikes, outs, men on base, etc... So, that is what I will be doing for both games on Sunday afternoon/evening... The downside to all of this, and this is the case A LOT with my job, is that I will have to miss out on spending the weekend with my wonderful wife and not be able to attend a church service on Sunday because crew call is so early in the morning. I guess its the price I pay to be beautiful ;)
Monday: We will be heading home to the LOC 44, what-what! So look out homies, we bouts to come steam-rolling your way! We are looking forward to seeing everyone back home and hanging out some before our much anticipated trip to Europe! Speaking of which, that will be one of my blogs in the next few days so stay tuned! 'Til then, "so long everybody"(Will Johnson)
