World Series Coverage

In case you missed it, ETBU's Softball team is currently in Eau Claire, Wis., with a little bit of extended time to the 2010 softball season.

Unless you are one of the select few who either a) traveled with the team on the NCAA's dime to the upper Midwest, or b) were lucky enough to find a hotel room in the Eau Claire area, or, apparently, anywhere within a two-mile radius of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, or c) will be trekking overnight on a special charter bus for Tiger fans, which pulls out of Marshall at 8 Thursday night -- you will most likely be left to watching ETBU go for history this weekend right here on the vast expanse known as the Internet.

There are several ways being provided fans who can't make the trip for keeping up with the action. Below is a checklist of the areas you can use to follow the coverage. Pay attention, there will be at test at the end --

• Go ahead and bookmark our Softball page here at etbu.edu, if you haven't already. We will be updating the site throughout the World Series with game action, photos (hopefully) and other information.
• Our Director of Public Relations, Mike Midkiff, is with the team in Eau Claire and is busy with a very entertaining blog at the following link: http://www.etbu.edu/php/ladytigersoftball/. Mike will be penning his thoughts while traveling with the team and will focus more on the team's travels and off the field activities.
• Our Sports Information Blog (here) will focus more on game action and events.
• There are two different ways to watch or listen to all the ETBU action. First, for audio only, you may follow our tireless broadcaster, Mr. Charlie Chitwood, at www.audiosportsonline.net. Charlie called last week's regional and apparently is a very good good luck charm. He will be calling the games with a local touch and insight to the Tigers.
• The NCAA Fan Website for the championship is state of the art. Go to http://www.ncaa.com/sports/w-softbl/champpage/w-softbl-div3-index.html. At this site you may watch live, streaming video of all the games at the tournament, with professional game commentary. Game Tracker will be providing live play-by-play via live stats. Postgame press conferences and interviews will also be streamed live on video. Your most in-depth coverage of the entire tournament is right here at this site.
• ETBU's Twitter page. Follow ETBU_Tigers and get in-game, inning-by-inning updates of the score from the Tiger games. This is good for those who might be away from their computer but have Internet access on cell phones.

I certainly hope we haven't missed anything. And don't worry, no test.

Go Tigers!
