Case and Point Production

Now time to spend two weeks at home. A nice break from the road is due, and there’s still some good stuff lined up.

I’m used to Friday Night Lights. I’m used to Coastal Carolina’s surf turf. This week I combined both, setting up in the booth again for Coastal vs App State on ESPN2. It was great to be back in Conway, sorry the City of Halloween, and finally work directly with Ross Productions.

Football season is far from over. I’m looking forward to what the next month plus holds, whether it’s field or booth.

Only my second time on the field for football, it was yet another wonderful week of growth and awesome experience, combining the knowledge of my last time on the field at Coastal Carolina, my ability to handle RF signal with Banana Ball, and what I already know of Williams Brice.

Eight years ago I was on the sidelines in Columbia as my employer, the Charleston Southern Buccaneers, took on the South Carolina Gamecocks. This weekend I was back on the sidelines for sideline audio as those Gamecocks took on the #24 Kentucky Wildcats.

By all accounts there’s a reason they’re calling this the first annual. It was great to work at home, in my back yard. And I can’t wait for the sequel next year.

Serving as A2 gave me unique opportunities beyond sitting courtside and taking in the special spectacle. Meeting Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams and securing him as a halftime interview, meeting Dawn Staley as well as comedian Nate Bargatze emphasized how special the event was.

The first annual LinkU Invitational had beautiful skies and perfect temps as college basketball exhibitions tipped off. Vanderbilt, Virginia, The Citadel, College of Charleston men’s and women’s and the South Carolina women found the hardwood on the clay court for three games.

I’m no stranger to Credit One Stadium. I’m there every year for world class tennis and the wonderful people at the Tennis Channel. But this weekend? A much different court, a much different ball.

The season is winding down for Banana Ball. Thankfully I have at least one more stop to go with them. Truly a wonderful, unique company to work with and I consider myself very lucky.

The ability to go across the street to the office, meet my coworkers and see the control rooms really added to the whole experience. Putting faces to names and voices from remi productions was a way make new friends. Plus I always forget how wonderful Savannah is.
