I have definitely enjoyed my time as Sports Editor for the Herald. It has definitely been an experience. Learning how to better manage my time between school, work and life has not been easy. But I have some how managed to get past this semester.
And as my time as Sports Editor comes to close I want to recall some of my favorite moments of the fall.
ARKANSAS STATE 18 TEXAS A&M 14
What a way to kick off the 2008 fall football season. An upset victory over Texas A&M at College Station in September was probably one of the biggest moments in program history. The victory was the Red Wolves against a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) since joining the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision.
The win was also the school's first in 15 tries over current members of the Big 12 conference. For the game against A&M, three Red Wolves were named Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week. Junior quarterback Corey Leonard won SBC offensive player of the week, junior kicker Josh Arauco was named SBC special teams player of the week and senior linebacker Ben Owens was named the SBC defensive player of the week.
HOWL
Introduced during the 1st and 2nd quarter of the home opener against Texas Southern, HOWL has made his mark as the new 'Spirit Character' or 'mascot' of Arkansas State. For every home game, HOWL has lead the Red Wolves football team onto the field with his motorcycle. He is definitely fun to watch. Much better than 'RED' ever was.
JOHN BRADY
New head men's basketball coach John Brady has definitely made his presence known this fall. He has put a fire under the men's basketball team, who are currently 6-1 with their only loss coming against Ole Miss on the road. His post-game antics and open-door policy make a him a great acquisition for the Red Wolves. My favorite line so far, "I don't think I have ever coached or seen a team win shooting the ball as bad as we did tonight." Talk about honesty.
