Stevenson's Dailey opens up on the Web
Saturday’s edition will include a feature on Jimmy Dailey, a senior attackman who has propelled Stevenson to a 7-0 record and the No. 2 ranking in the latest United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association poll.
It turns out that the Westminster native and Winters Mill is just as prolific at storytelling.
This spring, Dailey has agreed to participate in a weekly blog where he shares his thoughts with a school staffer, who then transcribes and posts his comments on the program’s website.
Dailey said he didn’t need much arm-twisting.
“I jumped on the idea,” he said. “I absolutely loved it. We just kind of go with it. I go in there unprepared, and I love the spontaneity. I think it’s kind of a fun thing that people can read.”
A finance major who has dreams of becoming an actor, Dailey pontificates about the one guy on the Mustangs who is the funniest (senior midfielder Joe Valderas), the film that should’ve gotten the Oscar for Best Picture (The Social Network), and the number of Chik-Fil-A milkshakes he is trying to consume this spring (24).
Dailey does talk about lacrosse, but he said he tries to mix it up, too.
“Everybody has heard about our season, and I don’t want to be redundant,” he said. “So I think it kind of gives everybody a look into my life and the life of my teammates off the field. The blog comes out every Friday, so it’s kind of a nice way to end the week.”
Dailey said he has final editorial control of the blog, but has yet to exercise it.
“I’ve gotten a little heat from Coach [Paul] Cantabene,” Dailey conceded. “We certainly have fun on there, but I try to be respectful and give everyone the proper respect.”
