Finally, for the first time all week, my computer and phone were on the verge of dying all at once. For a reporter, to lose all means of communication is kind of a big deal. Luckily for me, 3 outlets were available at the freshman/sophomore entrance and I'll be sitting here for an hour or so as everything charges.

Today has been pretty hectic in terms of media coverage up here. As I previously mentioned, Rob Stone and ESPN are setting up shop as we speak. Various other local televisions have been here filming news packages and the Collegian football crew just stopped by to film their preview for Saturday's game.

I heard from the GameDay crew that the players are expected to show up around 7 p.m. tonight. I don't know how accurate that is but given tomorrow is the Rally in the Valley, they come tonight or not at all.
