Jaguar Nation's Next Generation

After dealing with Gustav, and missing his big brother Ike, it was time relax and enjoy ourselves. This time of the year it was time for some football. The Purple and Gold Faithful continued their season. While at the bluff the Jaguar Nation was getting ready for the home opener as well as end a two game losing streak.

While the final warm ups were taking place I met up with my friend Rod McKee, who shoots for the Deuce, and he brings up an interesting observation. "You know this is the first time in history that Southern University sports will be covered by three female reporters". After he mentioned that I realized that he's right. This actually started last year when Emily Turner started working at the Peacock. Earlier this year the Big Raggedy enlisted the talents of Erin Cofiell. A short time before the storms the Deuce brought in Kristen Eargle to handle the duties on the bluff.

For years this beat has traditionally been a male oriented field. I know for Rod he had numerous reporters at his side while putting together the highlight reel for his station. For me I had only one for the last last few years.

This could be just what this market needs. A nice change of pace for the norm. Maybe this year the players will hang around just a little longer after the game, did you know?
