7. WHAT DOES CHIP CARTER HAVE TO SAY?
“ The hours can get kind of long sometimes…they can be anywhere from 2pm
until Midnight or 9am until Midnight. It just depends on the season and
what is going on during that time…but it’s all worth it in the end.”
“ I love covering USF stuff, especially USF football! We film a sit-down every
Tuesday with Skip Holtz called ‘Skip and Chip’ and it’s kind of a little
personality show….that guys a riot!”
“ What’s really fun is you get to meet really cool people! Yeah, I get to go to
almost every major sporting event in the country but I also get to do a lot
of different things with the people that are the best in the business. I have
been hang-gliding and scuba diving with the best of the best…so that is
definitely one of the coolest parts of my job.”
