Hi, I'm Pat!

My name is Pat Gaitan and I'm a senior here at Central Michigan University where I'm majoring in sport management and minoring in communications.  

This past semester with the Coleman Comets has been a great experience.  I've worked with high school football teams before, but I've never been apart of something like this before.  Going to the games each week, meeting the players and coaches and reporting on the team has been amazing!  I've been given the opportunity to do something that most people haven't been able to do.

My favorite part about working with the football team is interacting with the players.  The players were so cooperative throughout the season when I asked them questions.  It was also great to chat with them because it made me think of my time as a high school football player and how great that drive and determination was when playing the sport.  

I was excited to work with the Coleman Comets and Coach Klopf because my little brother Karlos Moiser was on the football team.  I figured it would be a great experience to watch him play and also watch how competitive smaller schools are.  Coleman's conference is comprised of small schools, some of which are discussing going to 8 man football.  Watching how those teams manage and make adjustments throughout the season was pretty insightful.  

The season may be over, but from what I witnessed this season, the Comets will be back next year and will be better than ever!  It was a joy to be a part of the Comets season this year and I'm looking forward to watching them play next season.  Go Comets!
