Muleriders, Tigers, and Campus Police – OH MY!

Well, I don’t figure I’ll have very many opportunities to feature an OBU Tiger here on the blog since I work for a conference rival. Tonight is an exception, and yes, there is a story behind that headline.

I had to make a Saturday evening run to my office earlier to grab some paperwork I meant to take home with me on Friday. While in my office, I needed to run next door to the mail room. Keep in mind that the building is empty because it’s Saturday. I got what I needed from the mail room, and returned to my office. My door was locked. I had forgotten to prop the door open or unlock it. There I was, in the hallway. I had no keys. I had no phone. I thought for a moment that I was up the dreaded creek without a paddle. I couldn’t even get in my vehicle because my keys were on my desk.

Since my phone was also on my desk, I knew I couldn’t very well call anyone, so I started across campus to find a trusty campus police officer. The police department was empty and dark. Something told me to look towards the gym. Sure enough, the game was in progress, and the officer on duty was there. I caught a ride back to my office with him, and he unlocked my door. I’m glad he was close by.

Let’s back up to the gym for a minute. I didn’t know it until I walked in, but the Ouachita Baptist University Tigers were in town! I was glad to get to visit with some folks, but others that I would have liked to seen were not there. I guess I can be happy for both schools tonight. The university that pays my salary (SAU) won in the men’s game, and the university that bestowed upon me my bachelors degree (OBU) won in women’s action.

I guess you can have your cake and eat it too!

Hello world!

Thanks for stopping by JeremyLangley.com! This is my first attempt at having a “real” blog, so just be patient. I’ll get it all figured out sooner or later! At least I do have some experience with WordPress (the program used to manage the site). I also use it to manage www.sau100.net. Check it out, too!

I plan to post regularly about my thoughts on everything from politics, the media, sports, and whatever else pops into my mind. Most posts will focus on the goings on in south Arkansas, but keep an eye out for my correspondent from the northwest corner of the state who plans to pop in from time to time (as soon as I figure out how to give him a username and password to get in).

Thanks to my good friend Lannie Byrd for helping me get all of this set up! I think this is going to be fun.
