It's been too long..

Happy New Year BGSR Fans!!!!

It's been way too long since my last blog update, pretty much a whole month. It was getting pretty crazy those last couple weeks with finals and after school ended I was just beat. But so much stuff has happened in the last month. Nicole Hubbard, star defender from the women's soccer team, came on my second to last show of 2009, and I got to pick her brain about the disappointing season this year. The interview went great and I hope I can get her to come on again. Also on that show Kevin McConnell former men's basketball team manager was nice enough to come on air and talk basketball with me. He's been the head manager for 4 years so he knows all the ins and outs of what goes on with the team, and gave me tons of insight. I will definitely be asking him to come on my show again deeper into the basketball season.

On my last show of the year, I was so lucky enough to get ED RATLEFF on the show!!!!!

But Anthony How on Earth did you get 49er legend Ed Ratleff on YOUR show???

Well, I was playing in the Long Beach State Golf Tourney and my friend Mark Andrews introduced me to him, and I asked him if he would be on my show. Without any hesitation he said he would be more than willing to come on my show. So a few weeks later I called him up and set up a day and time to come in for a recorded interview.

So Mr. Ratleff came in a few hours before my show actually starts, and I had a few questions prepared for him. To be honest I was a little nervous, but who could blame me it was ED RATLEFF 49er legend, played in the olympics and the NBA. But Mr. Ratleff was the nicest and funniest guy ever. I was only expecting a 10-15 minute interview, but it ended up being a 40 minute interview!!!! He talked about his days here at Long Beach State, and playing for Tark the Shark. He also talked about the '72 Olympics where the American team was robbed of a gold medal, and his 5 seasons with the Houston Rockets in the NBA.

It was such an awesome interview, and if you missed it you're in luck you can download it!!! YES, my show is finally podcasted. So you can put me on your iPOD and listen to the Black and Gold Sports Report anytime you like. There's a podcast section on www.kbeach.org and you can get all of my shows and interview with Ed Ratleff.

No new show this week as I am still in my hometown REDLANDS, but next week will be my first show the decade and it will be at a new time!! Since the student union closes at 7pm instead of midnight I'll be on Thursday at 6pm!!
