Thoughts on Super Bowl LVII

 As the clock hit 0:00 and Jalen Hurts' attempt at a hail mary fell short, the Kansas City Chiefs were Super Bowl LVII (57) champions. As a whole, the 2022-2023 NFL season was one for the books. The same could be said about the Super Bowl itself. 

The game started with an outstanding national anthem by country music star, Chris Stapleton. As soon as I saw the Eagles' head coach crying I knew it was going to be a meme for many years to come. With that being said, I truly understood his emotion. He's about to coach in the Super Bowl! 

The game was remarkable. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs quarterback, threw for 3 touchdowns and led Kansas City to their 2nd Super Bowl title in 4 years. Late in the 2nd quarter, he hurt his ankle and it appeared he was not going to be able to continue playing. He toughed it out, got some good pain medication, and put the team on his back. Anyone that watches football will tell you that he is definitely the best quarterback in the NFL. After winning his 2nd MVP in 5 years, he matched it by winning both his 2nd Super Bowl and 2nd Super Bowl MVP. His resume is already hall of fame worthy without a doubt.

Jalen Hurts, Eagles quarterback, had 4 touchdowns. He threw for 1 and ran for 3. His 3 rushing touchdowns tied the Super Bowl record, with Terrelle Davis, Denver Broncos running back in Super Bowl 32, and was the most by any quarterback in Super Bowl history. He played extremely well and I really thought the Eagles were going to pull off this win. 

Unfortunately, the game came down to a flag with around a minute to go in the game. The penalty was obvious so there was no need to blame the refs for this one. The player that committed this penalty, James Bradburry, even admitted to doing so. This put the game in a situation where the Chiefs could hold the ball nearly until the very end and kick a fairly easy field goal to take a 38-35 lead. This gave the Eagles the ball with 1 last shot and the pain of losing settled in shortly thereafter. 

If you were like me, all you were asking for was a good game. There have been a number of recent Super Bowls where the game just wasn't all that great. Without a doubt, this game was one of the best in quite a long time.

    I agree. In the Super Bowl, it's either hit or miss. The past two super bowls have been pretty good. When I was watching, I saw that flag come out on the holding for the chiefs, and my first thought was rigged. But after watching it, he did tug his jersey, but I hate how it came down to that play too.

    Great post Cade! I personally loved the Super Bowl this year and was one of the best ones I have ever seen!

My podcast with Hannah Brown

 Last semester in Principles of PR we had the same assignment as we do now with the podcast. At that time I had no idea who would be a good guest for me to have but luckily Dr. Aggie hooked me up with an excellent person in Hannah Brown. She is a PR practitioner who works with pretty much exactly what we talk about in this class; social media and marketing along with PR too, of course. I enjoyed douing this podcast because I feel like I had more flexibility to dig deeper into social media and even she said there is a big difference from the PR side of things stricly to the social media side.  Considering that this podcast only had to be 5 minutes at the least, I came up with 5 questions for her.

She expla...

Ready To Get It Over With

 I don't know about you, but spring break felt like a summer tease. I was feeling super optimistic about nearly everything, the vibes were good, I was excited about being halfway through the semester, and then I came back to school. For the most part, I'd say I'm happy, but at this point, I'm just ready to get it over with. Deep in the back of my mind I can just feel that the remainder of the semester isn't going to be easy whatsoever. There are still midterms, and before I know it, it will be time for final exams. As I was walking to my classes today I was trying to motivate myself by thinking that no other day will be as hard as today. Coming back from break can be difficult and getting back into a groove can feel like it's impossible. I hope I'm not alone in saying that this week is a great week to get back into shape.With that being said, I hope everyone had a good spring break and enjoyed doing what makes you happy with people that make you happy. I fee...

The Master of The Masters

The most prestigious golf tournament took place over the weekend in Augusta, Georgia. This tournament, which is the Masters, is much like the Super Bowl or the World Series in the sense that whoever wins it definitely deserved to win it and also to be apart and play in it. The best golfers in the world battle the already tough course under sunny and dry conditions, but when the weather becomes bad, good golf becomes difficult for many. Jon Rahm played his best golf at the perfect time, which was Sunday, the final day of the tournament. You obviously need to play great from the time the tournament starts, which is Thursday, and be consistent everyday and every round if you want to have a shot at the green jacket and a nice payday on Sunday. Going into the final day, many believed Brooks Koepka would seal the deal. Others were picking Rahm due to his momentum. Kopeka started off great but declined as time went on. He had a two-shot lead over Rahm going into Sunday and like I said, many w...
