The 2021 Homecoming week at Ohio Northern University has come and gone again and it was one to remember. The most memorable event during this week was the football game I attended at Dial-Robertson Stadium between Marietta and Ohio Northern. All of my teammates and I attended the game and we had a blast cheering on the Polar Bears!
This matchup between Ohio Northern and Marietta is what I did for my Live Tweeting Assignment and I enjoyed doing this and having fun with the social media impact on Twitter. For this assignment we had to live tweet an event during Homecoming week and I chose to do this. I had a visual, a retweet and then I shared my tweets and updates about the game on my Twitter account and this was a great way to get used to the social media side of things. I let my followers on Twitter know a day before the game what I would be doing and what I would be tweeting about and then 15 minutes before kickoff I tried to set the scene and what was happening. I tweeted updates until halftime and enjoyed watching the game at the same time.
It was indeed a crazy game and Ohio Northern brought home the win 34-33 on a last second touchdown by Austin Eick. The game started out very slow which included a score of 7-3 at halftime and then the tables turned after that and it became a very high scoring game. Ohio Northern was led by quarterback Brody Hahn with 4 touchdowns and Austin Eick who had three receiving touchdowns. The Polar Bear football team is very exciting to watch and have a great team this season including being 4-1 going into a bye week for Fall Break. It was awesome to be able to attend the game with other fellow students and to see the crowd on hand to support our University was truly amazing.
I had a blast doing this assignment and I would do it over again if we had too. It was fun to be behind the screen on Twitter and see first-hand what goes into live tweeting during an event. Go Bears!
