Football 101


On Sunday, October 5, students from the Football in American Culture (professor Russ Crawford) hosted Football 101, an informational session for international students at ONU. Seven FAC students, including Joe Kent (JR, History, Volant, PA) Eric Lose (JR, Sport Management, Decatur, IN), Mike Fisher (JR, Sport Management, FR Sports Management, Munster, IN), Greg Purdy (JR Sport Management, Dublin, OH), Durane Harris (FR General Studies, Fort Wayne, IN), Chad Turner (FR Technology, Hamilton, OH), and Andrew Adamus (JR History, Erie, PA) explained the positions, rules, and football plays to five International students, including Hyojin Kim (TR Literature, Masan City, South Korea), Chiu yi Lin (Instructor of Chinese from Taiwan), Richard Ewane (JR International Business and Economics, Silver Springs, MD), Anna Baer (TR Business Administration, Germany), and Rita Oti (P2 Pharmacy, Rockville, MD).

The FAC students gave brief presentations on various facets of the game, and we snacked and watched the Colts play the Texans on the big screen in Hill Building. At halftime, we went out in front of Hill Building and tossed around footballs provided by Professor Jimmy Wilson.
