Whether you’re covering a team week in and week out or you’re parachuting in for a random Saturday, game notes are vital. They have pretty much everything you need to know about a team’s season, from schedules to rosters to records and interesting facts. Shoutout to the University of Central Florida’s media department for throwing this in:
UCF game notes have perhaps the most helpful fact in history of game notes
I feel smarter now for this, Knights. Thank you.
Hey, it’s not technically wrong. A UCF win would absolutely be better than a loss, and the Knights are off to a hot start this season despite Hurricane Irma throwing things into flux early in the season.
This is probably the most fun someone’s had with game notes since Colorado found a way around Michigan being needlessly secretive with its depth chart last season:
At the time, I talked to Colorado’s SID, Dave Plati, about his process in notes he sent to a broadcaster calling the game:
The depth chart includes references to movies, “Famous Skinny People,” a two-deep of deodorants playing at the Right Guard position, and a tribute to Gene Wilder characters, all with a helpful key.
“Sometimes you’ve just gotta have fun,” Plati told SB Nation. “It seems like fun’s escaped the world lately, so I thought we would do it. It turned out to explode, never thought it would like it has.”
PR is rarely something that we think is “fun” strictly speaking, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spice things up every now and then.
