LUBBOCK — This January, the Communication & Cognition Weblog is going bowling in San Antonio to cover the Texas Tech Red Raiders versus the Michigan State Spartans in the Valermo Alamo Bowl.
I’ll be there to cover the social media angle, including how officials there use their @valermoalamobowl Twitter account.
As a journalist, I covered Division I athletics for the New Mexico State student paper, a now defunct regional sports monthly, the Las Cruces Sun-News, and even as a stringer for Sports Illustrated (sadly the latter stuff never was published).
But I never covered a bowl game.
So I’m excited about this opportunity. There are a lot of interesting media professionals in San Antonio skilled in social media, and I’ll be attempting to check in on them there and report back here.
Stay tuned.
I'm a cognitive scientist and communication scholar who manages a psychophysiology lab at Texas Tech. I teach courses about the cognitive processing of media messages and research methods.
