Faith and Family game week
This week I only went into the office twice and worked the game on Saturday for a total of 22 hours. The first day in the office consisted of me stuffing more plastic eggs with the same vouchers. Later on in the day Alex told me that we would be getting more vouchers from another sponsor of ours and it was for a free round of bowling at B&B Lanes. I then spent the rest of my time cutting out and numbering the vouchers to stuff in the plastic eggs. At the end of the office day Alex found out that our other intern that does the stats would be out of town for the game, so I had to come in on Friday to learn how to use the stat program. Learning how to use the program and entering in fake scenarios was completely different when trying to do it during the game. On game day we had to report to the Crown at 8am because we were doing out youth league games again that went on till 4pm. The whole time I did the game clock, play clock, and score board for all the youth games. After the youth games were over it was time to set up for the Force game. During the game as I mentioned before I was going to be doing the stats. Before the game even started I had to help gather all the accessories in the tunnel for all the events put on during intermissions. I also went out to our block party/tail gate party that was going on outside the Crown and hand out flyer's about next week’s game. Once game time came around I went up to my position to do the stats and I had an injured player on the Force team be my spotter. His job was to call out the plays to me as they went on and I would enter them into the stats program on the computer. Let me tell you, it was quite difficult to do at first and the 1st quarter was not pretty. After the first quarter and especially after the first half we got it down and were able to enter the stats no problem. Once the game was over and fans cleared the field the other interns and had to go around and clean out the visitor locker room, our player’s locker room, official’s locker room, the cheerleader’s locker room, and the media room. The visitors’ locker room was perhaps the nastiest thing I have ever had to clean up before. I did not know that a group of men could be so rude also and leave trash all over a room and not think about it twice.
