Well everybody it looks like I am outta here! "Chapter 2: Abilene" of my life in the broadcasting world has finished up and "Chapter 3: Eugene" is about to get started. I just wanted to reminisce about a few things that I will either miss, or will never forget. I also wanted to say a few thank you's and goodbyes.First, I want to start it off by saying I had an amazing time here in the Big Country. I love the Texas friendly way. Coming from California...friendliness is just unheard of!
My anchor team... The "A" Team... Downing, Kyna & Randy. Wow! What a blast I have had with each of you. D-Bolls thanks for teaching me so much. I promise I will take my medicine! ha. Your knowledge about life is endless. KG... thanks for being a true friend. I will cherish our friendship forever. Thank you for always putting me in my place, Lord knows I need it! ha. AND remember P90x is only a DVD player away! Randy, How are you always so calm? You inspire me! Thanks for being a great dinner date & friend. Best of luck to all of you guys in the future.
Then there is Tyler Edwards. Tyler, you have been my rock. Always trying to make me laugh and "de-stress" when I go crazy. ha. You have taught me so much. I will miss our nights at the Seafood Tavern, there have been so many. I know this is not a goodbye, I will be calling to bug you. I promise to answer my phone when you call! I know you will need to vent now! ha.David Robinett... the Yoda in the Sports world! Thank you for taking me under your wing and showing me the ropes. I value the endless hours we have worked together. I will catch ya on facebook!
Manny Diaz... you are a work-horse! I promise you your hard work will pay off. It has been fun!
I am going to try my best to make it to your wedding!
To all of the other reporters and newsroom... Thanks for listening to me...putting up with me...I know I am a handful. But I leave you with this... 1. Clean out your edit bays! 2. Sports is more than just 3 minutes! 3. Always be true to yourselves and do not be afraid to speak your mind.
Now to the coaches, players and teams... what a dream to begin my first on-air job covering the teams of Friday Night Lights. I thank you all for making my life so easy. I will miss this part of my job the most. I can only hope Eugene treats me as good.
Everyone else, I hope you enjoyed Sports: Dapper Style. But. it is time for me to "Level Up" and move on to another one of life's adventures.If you want to keep in touch... Catch me on facebook....

ReplyDeleteAw ;( I'm going to miss you Michelle! And our constant fights and punching! I've got to say, I wont miss you coming in on the weekends, BLASTING your music while I'm trying to produce, write, edit, etc.. ;) jk I had a blast seeing you on the weekend. I will truly miss you! Best of luck with everything! You will do so great in OR-Eh-GONE ;) lol They are going to love you there.. just dont be so mean to the reporters, ok? You are going to do great things... I know we will hear about Dapper one day soon on ESPN.
ReplyDeleteAnd know, that I truly admire you. You are such a strong woman, you will always have to many doors open to you.. Love ya!!
P.S. TAKE THAT PIC DOWN! it was after a long flight, and i look gross!... oh yeah.. i Have some of you sleeping during our DFW Girls Night Trip ;) gotcha!
Dapper, I think it's the pot calling the kettle black when you call Manny a workhorse, because you must be the hardest working person I know! Congratulations :). You made it back west, and you'll be in Pac-10 territory!
ReplyDeleteYou've done big things here in the Big Country, and I'm sure there's more to come! Thanks for being a good friend, for dealing with my silly questions about Avid, and for making another California girl (who got to Texas as soon as she could!) feel not so far from home when the going gets tough.
I'm sure before you know it, you'll make it to "the city," and work back in "the town," at KTVU where Chapter 1 began (for you and me both!), and we'll see you next to Fred Inglis. Live the dream baby! Make us proud, and... Don’t forget the little people ;)...
- Fun Sized
P.S. Tell my friend at KEZI I said hi!
