David Clavens - Collegian Newspaper Article - 5.1.07

Post by david »

Hey guys,

Image

Today I was on the front page of my school newspaper for footbag! This paper is distributed to 40,000 students and even more when you count the residents of this city. You can find the article here http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/20 ... ews-07.asp

A few things: She kind of differentiates between hacky sack and footbag like they are different, but whatever, its hard to understand. Another, I said I get free stuff from Kolo Sport (shirts), so she took that as me being sponsored, which I am not officially. Besides that I like the article.

Comments welcome! Hope you like it.

Frontpage of the website, FTW!

Way to rep the sport. How come I get the feeling these reporter people will just never understand our sport? It's definitely good as footbag articles go though.

Were you approached by the newspaper or did you come to them? Was it because they saw you at the talent show?

They were looking for an article to write about weird competitions. That plus I play in a really visible spot on campus with Bevier. Plus my friend is on staff.

hey dave, that was a great interview. That, in combo with the actual playing part of the presentation video, will get you ANY footbag gig out there. You're awesome. Spectacular photo, too.
BRICK!

You beat out "Sexual Assaults Reported" for the cover? Nice.
