We want your input!

As the ol' AugBlog springs forth to life, we want to involve you in the process. One of the features we will be doing on a regular basis will be "Ask the A.D." We want you to ask questions about Augsburg athletics and college sports in general of our athletic administrators -- Athletic Director Jeff Swenson and Assistant Athletic Directors Paul Grauer and Marilyn Florian. Send me an e-mail at stoner@augsburg.edu with "Ask the A.D." in the subject line and we'll do our best to answer the question. Heck, if it's a question that you need your humble SID or your humble assistant SID, Kelly Anderson Diercks, can answer, we might even take a shot at it.

A couple of other regular features planned for the blog:
- In-game blogging: We're going to try to do some in-game blogging, so if you can't make it to an Auggie event, this just might be the next best thing.

- Coaches Corner: In-season coaches will provide weekly updates on their sport, with news, updates, fun stuff, etc.

- Player blogs: We're going to ask some student-athletes to write season-long diaries about being an Augsburg student-athlete.

- SAAC Corner: Our Student-Athlete Advisory Council is an active bunch, and we want you to learn about what they're doing around campus.

- Behind the Scenes: What goes into an Augsburg athletic event behind the scenes? We'll take you there.

If there are other features you'd like to see in the AugBlog, feel free to let me know (stoner@augsburg.edu). We want this blog to be very interactive, so the more input we can get from you, the better!
