I’ve already had people ask me how did you come up with the name for your site. Well, the simple answer is, I sat around with some of my friends brainstorming, over the course of a few days, and started throwing names around that might work. My mom came up with this one, and the more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

I graduated from Newhouse, the best journalism school in the country. Newhouse, the same place where Bob Costas, Marv Albert, and Mike Tirico all went to school. The thing is, you always hear about the famous people who went to school there, but what you don’t always hear about are the people like me, the people who graduate from Newhouse, and still can’t seem to find a job in their field of interest.

Let’s make something clear right off the bat. I loved my time at Newhouse. I truly believe it is the best journalism school in the country, and I wouldn’t trade the experience I had for anything in the world. I learned a lot, and I know that if and when I do get a full-time job, in the journalism field, it will be due to my education from the ‘Cuse.

I don’t blame Newhouse at all for the reason I still can’t seem to find a job doing something I want to do. There are lots of things that have contributed to that fact, most of which is the fact that the journalism field has totally changed even in the two years since I graduated. That is another big reason why I have started this blog, I want to try and figure out where the journalism field is going, specifically in sports.
