Credentials

We understand that any person can make a blog about anything. So how are you supposed to expect that this blog will have any use whatsoever? To that I can only say to look at our credibility.

In April of 2007. I decided to transfer to Miami University. I was asked by Patrick Murray to join him on a student radio adventure that would last 3 years. I already had 5 years of experience. I had spent 4 years doing sports radio in high school, and a year at the University of Missouri on a radio show for their student station. But at WMSR, Miami University's student run radio station, we built a sports department.

Starting in October of 2008 we began broadcasting every Miami University hockey game. In order to do this we had to become extremely familiar with the college game, which led us to become strongly proficient in the NHL as well. I have broadcast dozens and dozens of hockey games in my radio career. 3 years of Miami RedHawks hockey. From the Goggin Ice Center in Oxford, Ohio to the War Memorial in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. and finally to Joe Louis Arena and Ford Field in Detroit, we have put together broadcasts that have left those around us asking if we're professionals.

We're not braggarts, arrogant, or remotely kidding ourselves when it comes to the ability to feel an in-game situation. What this post wants to do is explain to you why you should understand when we provide information, analysis, or commentary, we know what we are talking about. We may not be players of the game, but we are students of the sport.

And while this applies to other sports as well, as I'm sure fanatics like us cannot stay on hockey alone, we have spent along time working on our craft. So we hope you'll take a journey with us. Comment on our posts. Give us your own opinions. The blog is about discussion, not 3 guys who feel they have all the answers. We hope you enjoy this. If you are half as intrigued by reader the posts as we are writing them, I think we'll all have a good time.
