The Chronicles of UTA Ted: Week 1 - Origins

Tuesday - 3 P.M. - 

The first week of office hours was a highly anticipated event, much like the start of the first week of football. The buildup of excitement and anxiety was there. Preseason was fun and all, but it could not compare to the real deal of the heart pounding action of a chance at the Superbowl. The start of the season meant also the start of fantasy football, one of the most highly played and talked about game in the country. About 1 in 10 males in America play the game and out of that 10% of the population about 80% are white males*.

So there I was a minority, within the fantasy world (and real one), scrolling through the ESPN fantasy app waiting for a potential student to meander into 304 OEH and drop me a question. But as I knew all to well, it was rare, if at all, that a student would come in for the first office hour. In addition, the TA and the professor had office hours during the same time as mine. Basically, the odds weren't in my favor and I spent the rest of the 2 hours catching up on homework and doing research for my upcoming fantasy draft.

Until next week. Ted out.
