A Duel To Skill

 It is very tough to be able to do what we do as talk show hosts, much less in the sports world. You may never master the art of debating over topics at this day in age of technological advancing where every single little bit of information can be accessed on things such as your mobile handheld device. But Barry and I enjoy every minute of it, and at the same time we are learning from it too; not just what we can do better and other information, but rather about our demeanor.

That is to say especially a large portion of listeners off-campus have no idea of who we are. That in itself creates a sort of mystique as to our persona and ego for our audience. We realize that you cannot take yourself seriously in the journalism business, which is why we try to incorporate different things into the show (my Aussie accent during Aus. FL talk – though subconscious, sound effects, etc . . .).

In the grand scheme of things, this has become a regular fixture in our schedules as we have revolved our out-of classroom life around it. We now share a pair of adjoining singles in Alumni Hall next to the RA office in huge part because of the show. The show and our proximity allows us to be able to have discussions similar to those we have on the show on a regular basis and we have taken a lot form them.

With the progress we have made over the past semester or so, I would like to acknowledge that we will be airing our 100th episode later in this semester! I am very proud of our current accomplishments and thank you for your dedication to our programs over the past couple years. As we look to further expand our horizons, we aim to continue the standard of excellence in broadcasting we have set for ourselves coming into the 2012-13 academic year.

With regards,
Ricky
