Carrie’s Coming
A blue eyed blonde with a heart of gold, an incredible body and an even better voice.. can you say American Dream? She’s country to her core and as an HTVer in the middle of Springfield Missouri, I’m a huge fan. She’s the girl you blare in your car when some boy breaks your heart and all you wanna do is dig your keys into the side of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive and scream “it ain’t the christian thing, to do they say, but SOMEONE SOMEWHERES GOTTA PAAAAAYYY!” She’s also the girl you play nice and low on a sunny day when you’re feeling completely in love and all you can do is smile to her sweet voice that seems to know exactly how you want to feel at that moment. Carrie Underwood, every guy’s fantasy and every girl’s idol.
As i previously stated being HTVer means you must LOVE Carrie Underwood. I’m sure a lot of you think I’m exaggerating on this fact. I’m not. Coach Davis (aka: D Squared, Father of HTV (and I’m beginning to think father of time), our fearless leader, and our toughest critic) is completely in love with Carrie Underwood. He adores this woman he’s never met before in his life. He has pictures of her on our HTV walls where previous deadline schedules once hung. He watches her music videos daily, including random Sesame Street videos featuring Carrie Underwood as a felt worm. He allows us to randomly dance to and scream her top hits in the middle of class merely because he enjoys anything that is in relation to this blonde bombshell. If we were to attempt to do the same with any other artists hit, I would not be suprised if he failed us all right then and there.
I’ve said all of this to simply explain why if you are on HTV and you don’t love Carrie Underwood, you shouldn’t be on HTV. Because if you so happen to be on the staff of HTV you also understand how much Coach’s opinion means around these halls. Put aside the fact that he recently won teacher of the year, and you still have a man you would not want to disappoint. He gives his heart and soul to this broadcast program for the sheer love of it. But it’s not just disappointing this leader that would be a not so bright idea. Coach Davis also has a way of making any student he feels is a tad bit unacceptable at the moment, feeling like they might want to just go to bed and try again tomorrow. I mentioned a little bit of this a previous blog of mine (Cause Coach Cares) explaining how much we value exactly what Coach thinks about us HTVers.
So once again, if you don’t love Carrie Underwood, you shouldn’t be on this staff. And as all true lovers of Carrie Underwood (some out of fear and fear alone) were all looking forward to Carrie coming to town in June. Thank you John Q. Hammons for providing a more than exceptable place for Carrie to want to come and hang.
And Carrie, if you by chance read this and you see a balding, white haired, but handsome gentleman running at you with a video camera and a fragile old lady in his arms… its Coach Dave Davis with his whole life in his arms. Give him the time of day. Because he’d be happy till we graduate. And when coach is happy.. we’re all happy.
