My University A ED 295 B Class

In my University A ED 295 B class we have the privilege of being lectured by honored U of A presidents, coaches, and other important people at the UA. Just the other week we had U of A basketball coach, Max Miller lectured to our class and answered any questions that we had. This last Wednesday we had Coach Bill Baker and his film producer from the football program came in to present their lectures. It was a great lecture because they showed two films on U of A football that really got me excited about football. Every time I see a film with music and football I get that intense adrenaline rush that I miss so very much. I used to get so amped back in the day about football, considering it was my life for 7 straight years. Now that I am no longer involved with football, anything that sparks my senses with football really brings me back to the good old days. Coach Baker really got our class to engage in discussion considering they had many great prizes at the end of the class. Every student had to put his or her name on a note card in order for everyone to get an equal chance to win cool UA football prizes. It was really exciting, one of the best days in this class for sure. Another great attribute to the lecture was that they offered and discussed about opening positions for students interested in media production for the team—as well as paid position within the football program. I thought this was really great because I felt like there was nothing to get me involved with football again, it makes me very depressed and bummed that I am not involved with this great sport like I used to be in high school.

The great motivational football film, Let The Games Begin Film was shown to the students, which was a great attention getter because more than half of the class falls asleep ten minuets into the class. After the lecture and films, prizes were distributed to all the students that were drawn out of the pile of flash cards pulled by Coach Miller. Around ten to fifteen prizes were dispersed total, including a grand prize! The grand prize ended up being two tickets to the Arizona versus Washington State game in Tucson. I really wanted these tickets because they said that they were excellent seats, but then again, everyone in the class was crossing their fingers that they would be the lucky winner. Unfortunately, it was not I who was pulled from the hat, nor anyone else in the class that truly deserved it. Ehhh what do you know… of course it is the quiet kid that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the tickets. I was so disappointed because if I won I would have shot up out of my seat and ran down the aisle of the classroom to claim my prize. Instead, this kid barley raised his hand, almost as if he was scared to profess his name to the coach. I feel sorry for someone who won two great seats to a U of A football game and isn’t excited, honestly, what could be wrong with that kid? Nevertheless, I am sure he will have fun if he decides to go. I really enjoy this class because I learn a lot about the history of the University of Arizona and am entertained everyday bay very interesting people. I definitely recommend this class to anyone who is looking for a easy, interesting, and fun class.
