Happy New Year and A New Beginning in 2008


I'd like to welcome everybody back who used to read my last blog. The reason I switched was because I had to have something that I could show people after graduation. Using a domain name that had the call letters of the college radio station I was apart of, prevented me from moving on as I like to say. So this is my new blog, one that I will write in everyday. Whether it be a long or short entry the point is, you'll get something. And what better way to being a blog by starting it on 01/01/08? This way, you can follow along with all 365 entries I'll write this year.

For those of you that are new, here's a little bit about myself. My name's Mike Oshita. I'm a 22 year old from Cincinnati Ohio and a senior at Indiana University majoring in Sport Communication. For what seems like my whole life, sports has always been there for me. Whether it was reading Sports Illustrated for Kids cover to cover, to just watching tv (that is, when I used to have cable). The older I got, the more important ESPN was for me. I usually check the website at least four times daily, reading up on everything so I can make myself smarter. This past summer, I interned in Boston for ESPN Radio, and I learned that being in a big city that has four different sports teams is completely different than what I'm used to. For me, it's always been the Bengals and Reds. But having to learn stuff about the Celtics and Bruins, two sports that I really don't care that much about, changed my outlook on things.

You can hear me every Monday morning from 4:30-6 AM on 99.1 WIUX in Bloomington Indiana. Along with my two co-hosts Justin Neff and Mark Perlman-Price we host a sports talk radio show called "The Front Row." Think of it as a combination of PTI and ATH. Or for those of you not in Indiana, you can stream live on WIUX.org. That's all for now, look for the next posting soon. Any comments feel free to email me at moshita@indiana.edu.
