Here's another post telling you how we make the sausage...Both crews in Iowa and Missouri work harder when the game is over than when it's actually going on. Such is the nature of our - not quite live - coverage. Derik (the magnificent) spent both halves today on his knees shooting highlights of the men's game vs. Oregon Tech. I flew in from Savannah, Georgia after attending a family funeral and headed straight to the game, courtesy of a volunteer driver from College of the Ozarks. Immediately after the game, we shot about 6 interviews (lots of players wanted to talk about this game) What's left for us today is 4 or 5 hours of shooting Wildcat Week, editing tomorrow's update, compressing and editing videos for the Web, sending photos and blogging. On days like this, our workday will end around 1 a.m. Fortunately, tomorrow's men's game will be later, so we may actually get a little sleep. But of course, when we're catching our breath, the WIWU-TV staff in Marion is posting all of this material for you to see. And yes...we'll be full out on Saturday, just as we were each day this week.
On a personal note, thanks to Roger Alcock, Derik Hughes, Dr. Scott Turcott and Dr. Mike Fratzke for helping out any way they could while I was absent. As Roger posted earlier, Derik did pull out a lot of work by himself, but other gave help where they could - carrying tripods, driving the van, making phone calls, etc. We're here as long as they keep winning and so far both teams are showing they want to stay a while too.
