When Wabash Director of Sports Information Brent Harris H’03 was named an honorary alumnus at Homecoming Chapel Saturday, the citation mentioned his 70-80 work week. Here's a sampling from about 8 of those hours.

Wednesday morning before the game, Brent mics up before interviewing Head Coach Eric Raeburn in the Lilly Library Media Center and the weekly Eric Raeburn Show.

Brent tested the control console for the stadium scoreboard and found the letter Y was inoperable, which is a problem when playing Kenyon. With the soccer team on the road, Brent was able to borrow the soccer scoreboard console, and Kenyon didn't have to be Ken on.

Carol Runge, wife of Director of Alumni Affairs Tom Runge ’71 and, therefore, present at most of the Little Giants' games, gave the newly named honorary alumnus a congratulatory hug on his way to get ready for Chapel.

Brent checks his messages on the way to Chapel to make sure the tv crew or student workers haven't tried to reach him.

The Toro four-wheeler helps Brent carry the electronics equipment, printer, computers, food, sodas, etc., from Kane House across campus to the stadium. It can't pop a wheelie, but Brent seems concerned that it might.

PA announcer Tyler Wade ’12 watches Brent get the tv computers and broadcast site ready.

If the soccer team were playing at home, this would be time for a run to the soccer field. With soccer on the road and Brent being named an honorary alumnus, today's 11 a.m. destination will be the Homecoming Chapel.

After a quick change into coat and tie in the locker room, Brent prepares the printer for the end-of-game reports. Rule one of game day, he says, is check the printer.

As soon as he enters the Chapel he is greeted by former Wabash Athletic Director Max Servies ’58.

After Chapel, Brent greets Kenyon Lords' Head Football Coach Ted Stanley and makes sure his team is taken care of.

After Chapel, meeting with the Kenyon coach, and making sure the tv crew is here and has what is needed, five minutes to change…

…congratulations from Wabash Senior Wes Chamblee…

and time to get back to work, little more than an hour and a half before game time. Brent calls it Crazy Hour.
