Dr. Kurt Hochenauer: Okie Funk
Dr. Kurt Hochenauer was an interesting speaker. He taught me a lot about blogging and writing as well.
Maybe the thing he said that most applies to me is finding a niche. I say that because I feel as if I have found a niche but I want to narrow it down. Sports is an awfully broad niche to have so I would maybe like to find a certain sport and start a blog on that specifically.
As a writer his tips on writing were important to me also. First off, he said when it comes to a blog that writing is number one. His tips will help my writing become better. Firstly, he aid to just keep on writing. The more that we write the better will become. Also, If we discover something bad that we wrote we should not beat ourselves up over it. Occasionally we all might something bad but we need to just move on.
Finally, and maybe the most important tip for writing is to let somebody else read our things. Sometimes, other people notice mistakes that we don't. This can make the editing process much easier and make for a better post or story.

Central Recap
It was a busy week in sports for UCO. The defending National Champion Softball team was back in action looking to get on track early in the season. The Bronchos started off slow but ended up winning their last three games in Arkansas over the weekend.
Baseball got off to an impressive start with their three game sweep of The University of Arkansas-Fort Smith. The bats were on fire over the weekend as UCO put up at least eight runs in each game, two of which were run rules for UCO.
UCO wrestling was in Hays, Kanas for the MIAA tournament and finished in third. At 133 Casey Rowell upset the defending National Champion and Cory Dauphin tied a 30 year old school record with his 47th consecutive victory. UCO also had three third place finishers and a runner up.
Finally, the tennis team too two victories at home behind strong singles performances. The Bronchos took five of six singles matches on Friday and four of six on Saturday to secure victories.
