Hello, Harding sports fans. My name is Shane Schock and I am the sports editor for The Bison. I am a senior public relations major from Rockford, Ill. My column, Schock Talk, is bringing something new to the table that could put your name in the paper.
About me: I have had a love for sports all my life, but no love could ever be greater than my love of football and my favorite NFL team, the Green Bay Packers. Yes, that’s right: I am the biggest northern cheese head you will ever meet.
I will occasionally talk about the Buffalo Bills to fill you in on my buddy Ty Powell, former Harding student, who I keep a close eye on during the NFL season.
I work on the equipment staff for the Bison football team, a position I’ve held for the past three years. Working for the football team gives me better insight and knowledge of the teams everyday activites, which is why I write about the football team as well.
This year I am going to change it up and try to involve the readers. I will cover national sports news, but will also turn to the readers and let your voices be heard.
Starting this week, I will be taking questions from students, faculty and loyal Bison fans on Twitter and then answer those questions in my column every few weeks as a Q&A.
You can ask me about any Bison program, and get my opinion on match-ups and how the Bisons fair against their upcoming opponent.
You can send your questions via Twitter @Shane_M_Schock and use the hashtag #SchockTalk to have your questions answered.
We are looking to get you, the reader, involved in our paper. So, please send in your questions or opinions about Harding sports you would like for me to comment on in my next Q&A segment.
My goal is to have Schock Talk be a fun and an insightful column you can relate to. Please check out my column every week to catch up on the latest in Bison and national sports news.
Until next time,
#ThatsASchock.
