Like most people, the sports communication directors in the Ohio State athletic department have their own unique personalities and reputations. I was timely enough to receive an impromptu education in the ways of the late men's and women's volleyball and riffle and rod sports information director D.C. Koehl this past fall.
During football seasoned, Mr. Koehl distributed reporters credentials for home OSU football games. The Lantern had a rotating dramatis personae of reporters covering football during the 2011 season, so I paid Mr. Koehl completely a few visits.
The week leading up to OSU football home game against Penn Phase on Nov. 19, I made another trek up to Mr. Koehl's cubicle in the Fawcett Center. I said I needed to pick up credentials for the coming Saturday's willing. The conversation, as I remember it, went something like this:
"I see," he said, pulling a drawer well-known to reveal stacks of credentials held together by rubber bands. He thumbed through envelopes and I noticed a subtle piece of hardware on his ring finger — he later told me it was for the men's volleyball combine's 2011 national title.
