I handle the weekday morning and midday news on 1150 WIMA.
I also take care of our news content on the web, Facebook, etc.
During the high school football season, I'm busy back at the station updating our text score updates, gathering final scores, and getting them on during Touchdown Ticker every Friday night from 10p-11p.
I also enjoy being the host of the weekly Buckeye Tailgate Parties during the football season.
Todd also throws me a bone once in a while as well, getting to do play-by-play for area games on our broadcast schedule.

A good, hard fought win last week on the road in the Big 10 opener for Urban's boys at East Lansing. Now, can they lift that momentum into a prime-time homecoming game with Nebraska?

How about that for payback to the Huskers?? Ohio State rolled over Nebraska last week 63-38, getting the taste of last year's collapse in Lincoln out of their mouths. Now, its on to Bloomington, for a night game with the Hoosiers, who may already be thinking about hoops season.

What a win in OT last week at Wisconsin! This bunch of Buckeyes led by Urban Meyer have a ton of heart, and simply just find ways to win, despite not being able to advance to the Big 10 title game, or go to a major bowl, due to NCAA and self-imposed sanctions.
Now, its on to the most important week of any Buckeye football season, against that "team up North"..Join us this Saturday from the WIMA studios, starting at 9:30am, as we chat with several guests about the Buckeyes.

At the Toledo Zoo Ampitheatre, Wed, Aug 15, 2012
I saw this same show/line-up a few years back at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, and was thrilled when I heard they were out again this summer.
This time around, it was a lot of old cover tunes, and not a whole lot of the standards. With the tons of material among these 3 musical giants, they only played about 2 hours, and the venue was only a little over half full (probably had something to do with it being on a Wed night, and tickets were not cheap).
McDonald and Scaggs didn't say two words to the audience, as Fagen served as the "emcee" for the show.
The 2 female back-up singers were great, and they got to do lead vocals on tunes like "Heard it through the Grapevine (Aretha Franklin)" and "Piece of My Heart (Janis Joplin)".
A lot of respect for these guys, but as far as an overall "show" goes, it was okay.
Show Rating: 6 out of 10
