Leila Rahimi UNT alum hits the big time


Recommended Posts

News arrived this week that Leila Rahimi of NBC Sports Chicago - the Windy City's version of Fox Sports Southwest - would be working the ice hockey beat as part of NBC's grandiose coverage of next month's Winter Olympics from PyeongChang, South Korea.

Specifically, Rahimi, born and raised in Denton and an alum of her hometown University of North Texas, will report from rink side at women's games. That's a big deal. Working the Olympics in the NBC universe is confirmation of arrival. If it's not the pinnacle of her career to date, it's close.

Yay! I love Leila. We had so much fun in our French classes. We were 2 of the few who could speak well enough to joke in French during class discussion. Our awesome TF was Shelley Bruce, who totally encouraged it because it was a practical use of what we were learning!

That's funny. A lot of grad classes had professors that would do similar things.
