On the day before football season will start in the Mission Conference, I find out that I am not given a press pass for all the games this year. I am saddened by this, but the fact that I didn't hear from JC Football Network regarding its closure made it an endgame. There wasn't anything I can do in that situation. This blog, simply called Mission Conference Mayhem was home to two years of highlighting the conference, and providing wrap-ups of the games, previewing the teams, and it was fun while it lasted.
But I know that good things don't last forever, and when I received that e-mail, there wasn't anything I could do. Again, it was a successful run, and I enjoyed every post and my first forays into sports journalism.
On September 11, I am removing that blog. The video that I made originally for YouTube will remain as the only memory of the Mayhem, and you can see it on my account (user name: hachibeach151). I am in the process of removing the satellite blog on TagWorld as this is being posted on BoBA.
Things are changing here, but I am looking at this on the bright side. This will allow me to watch the volleyball games and rugby matches at Long Beach State when I otherwise could not do it. I will focus on that, and finishing my coursework, this semester.
