Your assignments.
1. Cover tonight's game and/or the tailgate party. Write a "color story," in other words a story that tells about the game but doesn't just tell who won, what the score was, etc. You can, and should , also go into SCI's rivalry with Lincoln Land, our athletic program, the students who turn out for the game, how it fits into student activities, etc. Write 1750 to 1,000 words. Due Monday.
2. In class today, find a sports story on the Internet that goes beyond the immediate game and interviews people -- players, coaches, managers and/or fans -- about the team, the season. Post a link to the story as a comment to this blogpost. I'll show you how below. As time permits, we'll look at your posts in class.
Details on the game:
- Tailgate (burgers and brats) will be ready at 6:00pm (FREE) – Game starts at 7:00!
- Admission is $3/ person, but Students get in FREE w/ a current student ID!
SASA Complex
4600 11th Street
Directions are available on line at http://sports.sci.edu/msoccer-links.htm#bb-directions
I like to do this with two windows open, one to the page I'm posting the link to and the other to the comment (or create post) field in Blogspot. Here are the steps:
- In the address field in the header, highlight the address (or URL). Copy it.
- Go to the comment field. Type in <a href="
- Paste in the address with no space between the "less than" and the address.
- Type "> with no space between the address and the quote mark.
- Type in whatever words you want in the link, for example Link here
- Immediately after those words, type </a>
- Your link should look this this <a href="address">Link here</a>
If you can't attend tonight's game, you can make it up by writing a color story about any SCI or other athletic event.

This is a Great Example!
An example of a good sports article that goes beyond statistics: Padres, Phillies and Rockies Brawl For Baseball's Final Playoff Spot, posted on The Wall Street Journal Online. It goes in-depth about the current fight for the National League wild-card, and includes many quotes and colored language.
Pre-Mayor's Cup Article
This is funny!
Another example.
A good example of a story that isn't just about a game comes from the St. Louis Post Dispatch. It is about Will Davis, who plays defense for the Fighting Illini football team.

It not only tells a little bit about the game but also talks about new ownership of the Cubs and if it's possible for them to win the World Series this year.
