So one week in the books for Monmouth University Football after a disappointing loss to the Raiders of Colgate last Saturday night in a game that featured a little bit of everything both on the field and in the broadcast booth. Some early technical issues led to some old-time broadcasting over a handheld phone (who know they even existed anymore) for the first half. Everything was resolved by halftime except the power went out everywhere but in the press box. This was one story I am already looking forward to telling my sports broadcasting class.
In terms of the game, in case you haven't read or heard enough, Monmouth was 4 plays away from winning their season opener. Every game has those swing play in which every evenly played game has but the problem for the Hawks on this night was they didn't come out on the winning end of any of those plays. Still though, there were enough positives to come out of the game for the coaches and players to feel like this could be a very good season.
Tough assignment in week #2 as MU travels down to the Myrtle Beach area to take on Coastal Carolina. This is a rematch of a game that last season Monmouth had some problems matching up with Chanticleers. In my eyes, this will be the most talented team that the Hawks see all season long.
Broadcast time is 6:45pm for the pre-game show & 7pm for the kickoff ..
Changing gears a little bit, I am looking forward to be on the air tomorrow with Kevin Williams & Ed Sarluca for the edition of our weekly high school football show on the Shore Sports Network. We start at 6pm down at Boston's in Toms River which should be a lot of fun all season long.
Brick and Colts Neck is our game on Friday night and will be broadcast on 105.7 The Hawk .. 7pm kickoff ..
