About Me

Hey everyone.  My name is Griffin Shaffer.  I’m a Journalism senior at The University of Oklahoma.  I’m a hard-working, self motivated, and determined individual who wants to be a sports broadcaster and college football analyst.  I love college football and I’m a diehard OU football fan.  I get along with everyone I meet and have been told I have a great sense of humor.  I was born an entertainer and can’t wait to graduate and get out in the television market.  I interned at FOX 25 this past summer.  At FOX, I interviewed athletes, reported on sporting events, and prepared myself to be a reporter in the crazy world that is TV.  And while I still have aspirations of moving to Australia after graduation, I will someday achieve my goal of becoming a college football analyst.

I also have 12 guidelines by which I live my life.  They are:

1.  I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways.

2.  I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements.

3.  I will always be in a positive frame of mind and convey this feeling to every person that I meet.

4.  I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty in my family and acknowledge that no other success can compensate for failure in the home.

5.  I will look for the good in all people and make them feel worthwhile.

6.  If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing.

7.  I will give so much time to the improvement of myself that I will have no time to criticize others.

8.  I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

9.  I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness toward another person’s viewpoint while still holding fast to that which I know to be true and honest.

10. I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times.

11. I will always remain loyal to God, my country, family and my friends.

12. I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because that positive attitude helps my family, my country, and myself.
