Greetings from Northwest Florida


Hi everyone, this is David Carducci, Director of New Media at Kent State.

Welcome to Kent State Blogs, the official blog home of the new www.kentstatesports.com.  I'm looking forward to following "LInder's Look" and reading - instead of just hearing - what the voice of the Golden Flashes has to say about the Golden Flashes teams.


Ty Linder is out of town as we launch the new website, but he sent this message and asked me to post it as his first blog entry.


Be sure to check back here and at our other blogs on the Kent State website. We hope to make the new site more interactive for our fans, so feel free to start some online conversations with the @KSUvoice.


Here's the message from Ty:

Greetings from Northwest Florida and the Naval Support Activity Base! Located in Panama City, Among other commands, it houses Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) and the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU). I'm down here catching up with former Golden Flashes wrestler Josh Walbom who is in the United States Coast Guard!

It's an honor to be able to gain such great access to a military base and be surrounded by some of the bravest and best minds in our country!

This is pretty much my last chance to enjoy some down time before KSU football gets going very soon. I think you are all going to be pleased with the radio coverage on the Golden Flashes Radio Network this year. Thanks to some big time equipment upgrades, I can't wait until our first live broadcast on Thursday night, August 29!

If you haven't already done so, check out "Flashback" on the Golden Flashes iHeart Radio Channel! I put together a 60-minute radio show which recaps the entire 2012-2013 season. It runs every hour, on the hour. 

Any and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated! My email is tlinder@kent.edu.

Be on the lookout for football training camp video updates soon!

Until next time, Go Flashes!
