LSFL Season Week 4: Venom hosting the Laredo Rattlesnakes.

This weekend was probably the most exciting of the internship. It had a good combination of a great game and a good situation for myself and the rest of the team. I once again was able to do radio commentary for the team's website and the best part was that I was allowed to be biased towards the Venom since it was sponsored by the Venom. I got my friend from the Prairie, Tyler Anderson, to call color for me and he was great as he could tell if I was going to drop off and there was going to be some dead air, and he did a great job of being very biased as I tried to maintain my journalistic eye and be somewhat unbiased. The game went on with the Venom trailing most of it, by 17 points at one point. But the Venom came back and scored a game winning touchdown with 2 seconds left to go. The crowd erupted and I couldn't hear Tyler on the other headset because of how loud the crowd was. It was a great turnout and we had at least 3,000 fans at the coliseum. My tasks in preparing for the game were numerous. I basically had told Toby Tucker, the owner's husband, that anything he needed he just had to let me know. So I did grunt work, which I was totally fine with. Sometime I was moving signs around the concourse and sometimes I was making trips between the Venom office and the Civic Center. One of the things I did was put out programs down in the pit area, pictured just behind the "sidewall" on the field. Overall like I said, this weekend was my favorite weekend of the entire internship.
