When I started my column “SchockTalk,” I wanted to do more than just write about my concerns or opinions on the topic of sports. I wanted to open it up for people to voice their questions or their feelings on what they wanted to hear.
This “tweet me” article is here for all students, faculty or individuals in the community out there who want to be heard. I want to know what you, the readers, want to know about your Bisons and get an honest response from someone who works closely with the various teams. I also tune in and follow a lot of sports from outside the university and would love to answer and tackle any topic that may come to mind.
I always try my best to give an honest assessment of our teams and never want to leave my readers feeling I am leading them astray. I want “SchockTalk” to be a column that people can read knowing I put my feelings out on the table and show my passion for sports.
This week’s Bison issue will be our last until March 20. That gives you some time to think of some questions and tweet me for responses. I will choose four or five of the best questions and answer them in the March 20 issue. The latest tweet that can be considered for publication will be March 16.
Here are a few example questions that can be asked for “SchockTalk.” Again, these questions are not only limited to Harding sports, but questions outside the university can be asked as well.
Q: Did you expect the basketball team to do as well as they did in the GAC tournament going into spring break?
A: I did. I believe when they’re able to play lockdown defense they’re tough to beat. With great defense comes great offense, and the Bisons shoot three’s as well as anyone in the GAC.
Q: My sports hero is Jackie Robinson because of his impact on the game of baseball. If you could pick a sports icon to hang out with for a day, who would it be? Either past or present.
A: Mine would be Greenbay Packers legendary coach, Vince Lombardi. His coaching style allowed him to get the best out of his players both on and off the field. He demanded excellence and wore his emotions on his sleeve. I would love to pick his brain.
These are just some simple examples of questions I am looking to answer for my readers. So, if you have a question or want to know my opinion on a topic, do not hesitate to tweet me
