The PR Playbook: October 2010
http://theprplaybook.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
October 05, 2010. Who Really Wins Championships.Offense or Defense? I’ve gone back and forth about writing this post because just when I think I’ve made up my mind, I talk myself out of the position I previously took. About one month ago, I had the conversation with three different individuals about the infamous quote: “Offense wins games, defense wins championships.”. Initially, I was firm in my thinking that is not the case in public relations because we are more comfortable, and prefer, to play offense.

The PR Playbook: March 2010

March 29, 2010. The Real Purpose of a Face Mask. This past fall I was sitting in the stands at a high school football game with one of my best friends Jill. We had a very interesting conversation that went somewhat like this:. When I was young, I thought the purpose of a face mask was so that the coaches had something to grab when talking to the players. Because buzz words are big in PR, I'm going to share how some are fitting for this post:. Special Note: As many miles as I have gotten out of the previo...

Thursday, March 29, 2012. Yours, Mine and Ours- The Potato Salad Version. Since we've been married Jeremiah and I have enjoyed combining the interests/traditions of both of our families. This New Year's Day we had sauerkraut and sausages because that was what his family always had on New Years growing up. Meanwhile Jeremiah has learned to enjoy some of the foods my family likes. I've taken Muddie's place as the potato salad supplier at family get-togethers ever since. 2 or 3 baking potatoes. I decided to...

May 06, 2010. There is no "I" in "Team.". This is not a comparative blog post between football and public relations. The following is the recent story of a co-worker and friend of mine who spent 30 years of his life as a football coach and is currently an assistant athletic director. Click here. To view a video that was created in an effort to share their story. EM-S ISD Teacher is the Missing Piece that Gives Another District Employee a New Chance at Life.

The PR Playbook: August 2010
http://theprplaybook.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
August 22, 2010. My mom enjoys telling a story about when I was a 7th grade cheerleader and I was cheering at a football game when I started yelling "defense, defense! If I were in charge of the class, I think Football 101 would cover:. Offense vs. defense. The number one skill sought by organizations is "effective communication skills." So why do so many people skip Communications 101? Communication is inescapable; you cannot not communicate. Context vs. content. Adapting communication to meet YOUR needs.

The PR Playbook: Being a Public Relations T-Shirt Fan
http://theprplaybook.blogspot.com/2010/11/being-public-relations-t-shirt-fan.html
November 03, 2010. Being a Public Relations T-Shirt Fan. I started wondering why being a t-shirt fan is associated as being a negative to those who call themselves “true fans.” Wouldn’t colleges and other true fans want as much support as possible…even if it’s only people jumping on the bandwagon? Support is support and the way I look at it, the more support you have the better everyone will be. So how in the heck does this apply to public relations? So the question becomes am I a true fan or not? Subscr...

The PR Playbook: November 2010
http://theprplaybook.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
November 09, 2010. With so many options having to be weighed in a short amount of time, it is possible that the outcome of the game can be decided at that very moment. Sometimes the decision is obvious, but more times than not, there are plenty of viable solutions that carry just as much importance as the next. So how do you decide which play to call in when it is NOT obvious? Is it safer to kick the field goal than go for it or even punt it? What if we fumble? Posted by Tammy Castleberry. Support is sup...

Being the Bastians: October 2013

Monday, October 7, 2013. State Fair of Texas. We saw a little petting zoo where Braddock was interested in petting the goats and the calves. But he was mostly interested in just walking along the fence. He's entered the "I want down" stage. What a great day we had with fun people and beautiful weather!
