Thank You Coach Green!!!!

Well hello everyone, sorry for the break in between my last blog, school just has been really kicking my behind lately and I’ve been trying to keep up with everything. So if you all haven’t heard, Coach Green retired, he decided to call her quits after twenty four years of head coaching duties here at Montana Tech. I would just like to thank him for recruiting me to come play football at Tech and that I really have enjoyed playing under is rein the past four years. So I guess the search for Coach Greens replacement has already begun, I think that it will be a good thing to get some fresh blood in the football program, just like Coach Green said, the new coach will have twenty three new scholarships to give out, a new scoreboard and probably a new conference. Don’t get me wrong I really liked Coach Green and all that he has done for Digger Football. So hunting season is officially over, I shot a nice buck and then a doe, my dad and I both didn’t even get a shot off on one, it is the first time in about fifteen years, so that sucks that we will have to buy burger this year instead of having our usual supply of elk burger.

Reasonable Manner

Well hello everyone, I hope that you all are enjoying our first real snow day that we have had this year. I can’t believe how nice of weather we have had lately, usually its freezing cold with snow. My topic for this blog is going to be grading in the college system. When I say grading I mean the time it takes for our professors to grade stuff we turn in. I believe that if we the students are held responsible for studying for tests, or turning in homework on time, or writing papers, that we should have the right to have whatever we turned in back in a reasonable manner. I have classes that we turned stuff in during the first week of the semester and haven’t gotten back yet, which means that I don’t know if I’m currently passing or failing classes, which isn’t a good thing. I know that professors are really busy and teach many classes upwards toward five, but if they have such a heavy load they should not assign so many assignments, papers, or test that they will have to eventually grade. Not knowing where we stand in a class by a letter grade can be very discouraging, how can our school system expect so much out of the students when we don’t get anything we turn in back. So on less serious note, football is almost over which is very sad, I’m going to really miss a couple of our seniors. I can’t believe that I’m going to be a senior in football next year; gosh it feels like just yesterday that my parents were helping me move into the dorms before my first two-a-days. This season hasn’t gone at all like we planned it, but it has been a really fun ride and I would like to thank all of our seniors.
