Introduction

Hey everyone! My name is Marcus Hoke and I am a Sport Marketing student here at Bowling Green State University. I am currently a senior/junior because I switched majors before my sophomore year from business to sport management. I chose to go the sports management route because I enjoy watching and being apart of sports. So far this has been an exciting major and I am ready to find more opportunities to get experience in my specified field.

I would say football and basketball are my favorite sports to watch. It is hard to pinpoint exactly why they are my two favorite sports to watch. I would say its because I played both in high school, but my school didn't have football so I really dont know what its like to play football unless you count playing out the yard with some friends lol. Football is just football, its hard hitting and constant action that gets a persons adrenaline going. I love the atmosphere the fans bring into the stadium with their tradition and pride. Basketball is my favorite sport to play, but I also love watching it as well. I would have to say the whole team concept of the sport draws me into it. There are so many elements that come into play with basketball and alot of them require you to trust your teammates.

As far as what specific moment in sports history that I would like to have seen. I would have to When da Bears won the Super Bowl, ha ha Saturday Night Live moment. Anyway back to the real question, it would have to when the Dream Team was assembled and they won the gold medal. The combination of all the greatest NBA players at the time period playing together for one cause is amazing. Jordan, Magic, Shaq, Robinson, and that is only a few of the great players on that team. It takes a lot to find the right combo of star players to play together, I mean look at the past olympic teams after the dream teams. Sure they had some great players, but some players were unable to accept the fact they were playing for something bigger than themselves and as a result lost. It was not until the Re-Deam Team as the captains Lebron, Kobe, Wade, and Melo put it, to win another gold medal because they all came together for one goal.

I look forward to being in this class and have already enjoyed discussions with everyone in and out of class. I plan on learning more as a continue to get used to the whole blogging thing.

Until next time as they say in BG Roll Along!
