Blog #1 - Introduction

Hey everyone! My name is Robb Valentyn and I'm a senior at the UW right now. I could be graduating this May but decided to take half of a victory lap and stick around for an extra semester, so I'll be done this December.

I'm from Little Chute, Wisconsin, which is a pretty small town about 30 miles south of Green Bay so as you can imagine, I'm a pretty huge packer fan. It concerns me to see all these Minnesota natives but the Vikings are harmless this year and probably will be for a long time...so no worries!

I'm a comm arts major on the radio, tv, and film side, and I plan to pursue a career in sports journalism. I currently work for the sports department at 91.7 WSUM Madison Student Radio and I'm also a sports intern at WISC-TV channel 3. We have a weekly sports talk show on 91.7 every Thursday from 4-5, and we have also had the opportunity to do play-by-play and color commentary for almost all the Badger home basketball and football games. Aside fromt that, I've also had a sports blog going on this website for a couple months now, so clearly I try to cover all ends of the sports media spectrum. If you want to check it out I think you can get to it by just clicking on my name. Any feedback is appreciated! Looking forward to a great semester with everyone!
