Taryne Mowatt

Is that your major?

Yes. It's what I've always wanted to do.

You graduated this semester?

Not yet. I still have another semester, but that's OK. I'm ready to go to work if someone wants to give me a job.

So you want to take John Kruk's job?

No. I want to do the Erin Andrews' deal. I've been pitching the idea that there should be an Erin and Taryne duo. I would give anything to meet Erin Andrews. I want to do her job.

What sports would you like to cover?

I want to do football, baseball and softball. I'd have to learn about basketball.

Since ESPN televises every game, you could audition while you're in town.

When we made it here my plan was to stop by the ESPN trucks to check out all the equipment. I went by there, it was really cool.

Did you bring a resume?

I don't have a resume. I collect business cards. Maybe I can just tell them what I've done and what I want to do.
