Recruit

Recruiting athletes has proven to be a very important process in collegiate athletics. Sports information director Bill johnson strongly agrees that recruiting new athletes is imperative to the school sports programs. “Recruiting is the life’s blood of your program,” said Bill Johnson. Which is easy to understand considering the fact that after 4 years a college team is completely different. Lyndon State college being a pin-head sized school compared to others, goes about recruiting new athletes a bit differently. Here at Lyndon the ability to give athletes incentives such as huge scholarships and teams tutors is non-existent.
Our recruitors must sell Lyndon on points that usually are not considered. The points being small class sizes and the ability to befriend their professors on a more personal level.

Christopher Ummer coach of LSC's successful cross country team states that he used the beatiful surrounding areas as a key point for becoming a hornet. Aswell as the cronicopia of outdoor activities to do all year long. Ummer also enjoys the chance to be able to introduce prospects to current players, because it makes them feel accepted very fast.

Other coaches such as Joe Krupinski, who is our Men's basketball coach. Try to use other selling points to draw players on to the court. ON the bright side of the mediocre success as of late from our mens teams. Krupinski tells possible recruits "you can be a building block in turning this around.” Which I'm not sure how many young athletes truly look at that as something to attempt but hey what ever works.

Five dead in plane crash, LSC professors on board

It was an unfortunately short flight for 45 passengers on a major airline taking off from LaGuardia airport. Five people have been pronounced dead and others injured.

Luck was on the side of the two Lyndon State college professors who were on board. They walked away unsheathed after attending a conference in New York. The professors, John Dumont and George Johnson, were leaving from LaGuardia airport when before they could put their meals trays down the plane had crashed.

There is not yet a confirmation as to what actually caused the plane to crash During take-off but investigation has started. We here at LSC will have to patiently wait for safe return of our professor as thier trip has been obviously delayed.

how i did it

not gunna lie i googled "how to make a blog"?  and it worked for me quite well, from the sites that came up they gave me many ways to do things such as adding music and other types of media to my blog....my main issue was the fact that i could not connect my slideshow on my blog to a webshot album i have uploaded on a different site. So i made a link directly to my slideshow that is uploaded on the other site.  which will prolly result in less people seeing the awesome pictures, but atleast they can look at em
