Ball State Sports Link: 3rd Down Chirp (Bowling Green)

The Emmy-award winning 3rd Down Chirp, an exclusive immersive learning production of Ball State Sports Link and Digital Sports Production, returns for its fourth season in 2014. This week's show recaps the senior day victory over Eastern Michigan and previews the season finale at Bowling Green State. Papa John’s also returns as the program’s exclusive title sponsor, as part of its corporate sponsorship with Ball State Athletics. 3rd Down Chirp, delivered by Papa John’s, will provide viewers inside access to the Cardinals on and off the football field. The weekly show will air every Friday at Noon on http://www.ballstatesports.com, plus additional episodes will be televised nationally on Fox College Sports, across the state on Comcast Indiana 81 (CN 81) and locally in Muncie on WIPB-TV. 3DC was awarded a student Emmy Award for Outstanding Production in 2014, plus captured its second “Best of” College Sports Media Award in three years for Outstanding Program Series. ESPN ‘s College GameDay host Rece Davis announced the award, presented by Sports Video Group and the National Association of College Directors of Athletics, earlier this year in Atlanta.
