Rematch of the Year

-
Earlier this year The ONU Mens Lacrosse team suffered a tough loss against the capital crusaders at home, The final score was 11-9 and the polar bears were doing their best to mount a come back but fell short. The bears were riding the momentum from a two goal run as time expired and as a team we really had a desire to play that team again. Luckily the stars aligned and the bears are set to play the crusaders in the first round of the Ohio Athletic Conference playoffs. The crusaders had an impressive stent in conference going 9-0 and getting the first place seed, while the Polar bears went a less than perfect 6-3 but squeaked out the fourth seed in a head to head tie breaker against Otterbein.
The first round of the OAC playoffs features capital vs ONU and Baldwin Wallace vs John Carroll, the games will be played in Columbus at Capital and in University Heights at Baldwin Wallace. The Capital vs ONU game will be held on this Tuesday April 30th and the John Carroll Baldwin Wallace game will be played the day after on May 1st.
As the four seed we are very excited not only to be in the playoffs but also to have another chance at all of the teams in conference that beat us earlier this year.
The excitement has never been higher for this polar bear team as we head into the playoffs, we have everything to prove, nothing to lose and are excited and ready to make a statement.

    As a former athlete myself there is nothing more exciting than getting a rematch against a team you KNOW you can beat. The everything to prove and nothing to lose mentality is a great mentality to have. Sometimes people can crack under the pressure of high stakes games or situation but with the "nothing to lose" thought you take that pressure off yourself and are able to play your game. Good luck at the game today, maybe we can get a recap post about it after!

As the semester starts to come to an end and as we finish Karen Freburg's  text book Social Media for Strategic Communication I think it would be good to recap and look back as some things that I learned and things I found interesting in her book.  Karen's book covered a wide range of different topics all somewhat related to social media, from do's and don't's of content creation to the best ways to pay for your advertisements on social media. The amount of information covered in this book is very impressive, if you have a question about social media any facet of social media you can likely find the answer to that question in this book.  I think what I enjoyed most about the readings we had to do for class were the interviews at the beginning of every chapter. I found it very interesting the different routes and ways social media professionals have gotten into the positions they are currently in. It seems as if most if not all social media professionals did not e

Fake News in Sri Lanka

After the horrible events that transpired in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday there is a temporary block of many social media sites in an effort to stop the spread of fake or inaccurate news. This was first discovered by a group that monitors internet censorship when they came across this new blockage of content. When asked about the block the Sri Lankan government both claims that the social media blackout was their doing and explains  their reasoning behind their doings. The Sri Lankan government blocked social media for what I think is a very good reason. That reason being the attempt to stop the premature spread of fake and or fraudulent news. The issue that is fake news has become a much larger issue than ever before making it very difficult for the readers, listeners, and watchers to know what is accurate and inaccurate.  I think that the Sri Lankan government blocking social media in and out of their country is a very good idea, it limits the possible sources of fake news availab
