EVANSTON, Ill. -- After showing off his prowess as a producer, director and broadcast reporter in his first two blog entries, Northwestern safety Brian Peters shifts to utilizing the power of the written word to give us our latest insider's view of Camp Kenosha in The Preseason with Brian Peters:
•••••••
All right all you Wildcat addicts, here is the first written blog of my 2010 Kenosha experience. Hopefully they won't edit all the good parts of this blog like they have all the entertaining video clips I recorded. They have sliced and diced the tape from my video archive to bring you two interviews that, while informative, lacked my true interviewing luster.
However, moving on, Camp Kenosha is nothing but a normal summer camp: we have logged lots of pool time (cold tubs), had a few outdoor activities (two-a-day practices) and watched a lot of movies (practice film). It is basically like the movie Heavyweights with a lot of physically fit college football players if you can picture that. The weather has been amazing as of day one but I will keep you updated.
This trip has brought a few of our players closer to home. I haven't seen Ricky Weina, Jacob Schmidt or Ben Johnson stop smiling since we crossed the state line into Wisconsin. I keep catching Ben looking over his shoulder up at the spectators hoping his ex-girlfriend from high school shows up to check him out, but she never shows.
On a lighter note for you fans out there, the team is looking great! Dan Persa is playing his butt off, the offensive line is doing well, receivers are looking smooth, running back coach Matt MacPherson did P90X, and as always the defense is constantly showing off its superiority in enthusiasm, athleticism, physicality, and rugged good looks. All jokes aside, we have a solid team on both sides of the ball, and I am absolutely pumped to see what kind of animalistic team we evolve into by the end of camp.
It has also come to my attention that my first impromptu video interview that was posted last week caused some people to believe Dan Persa and myself to be the same height. You are sorely mistaken if you think that. I am 6-foot-8 and Dan is 6-foot-4. The floor where we did the interview is slanted downward to the front of the room. Sorry to you visually challenged viewers out there, but there are probably eye doctors in a mini-mall near you where you can go to get your depth perception fixed. I am sure you can contact Cody Cejda, Fitz's right or left hand man, for a list of Northwestern Football alumni that are involved in the field of visual correction so you can continue to give back to the program and its products.
That will be all for now, I will keep my ear to the ground for some juicy gossip for you guys next time. But for now I am going to e-mail this in, call my mama bear, then call it a night so I can crack some skulls tomorrow. Go 'Cats!
