Introduction


Hello all:

This is Jeff Geiser. I'm a senior Journalism student at the University of Cincinnati. This is my second degree as I've already graduated with a B.A. in Communication in Dec. '07. My career aspiration is to work in professional sports, preferably in Media Relations. I love football, baseball and basketball. One of my dreams in life is to get either a Super Bowl ring, a World Series ring, or an NBA world championship ring. (All three would be excellent.)

Right now, I currently work for the Cincinnati Reds in their Productions department. I've been there since May '08 and loved all my experiences there. I've learned how a major league baseball is presented on television, radio, as well as in the stands. The video board is a key component for clubs to make money off of advertisement. My greatest accomplishment with the Reds was when I was given the opportunity to write and compose the entire script for the main stage entertainment at Redsfest XI in Dec. '08. I am in the process of tranferring to the Creative Services department where I will have the opportunity to write for feature articles for the game program.

My previous work experience includes working for the Cincinnati Bengals in their public relations deparment and WCPO-TV (ABC) in their sports department. I still currently work all Bengals home games as a PR crew member.

I hope obtaining a journalism degree will help me further my career in sports.

This blog is going to center around what's going on campus at UC, with a focus on Bearcat athletics. I am a sports writer for the News Record and would like to add insight on this blog pertaining to the articles I've written in the paper.

I would also like to get student's opinions on campus life, as well as UC athletics.
