October 17, 2015 -- Saturday night, and in the college football world, that means it's gameday! In the last post, I mentioned the fact that it is Homecoming Week here at Occidental College. Six of the varsity teams would be competing, so the athletic department had their hands full this week. I was asked to help with the football game, and today, I worked under the supervision of Katie Grogan, the Director of Operations at the Athletic Department. I was assigned to work the will-call booth for the visiting Chapman University Panthers. I was given a list of names, and on this list were the names of the visiting players and their designated guests. Football team members are allowed to have up to four guests, and if one is not on this list, then they must purchase regular game tickets. I worked the booth and was able to watch some of the football game when work slowed down. Again, another eye opening night, to be able to see more of the behind the scenes activity of an NCAA event. It was a good way to end the week, and I definitely learned some more things tonight.
