🚨FRIDAY NEWS DUMP🚨
Today is my last day with The @KSLSportsZone. After 14 years, I am stepping away to pursue other opportunities. The decision was entirely mine. I feel a need to change some things in my life & this one of them.
I will be continuing my work with @LockedOnCougars & the @LockedOnNetwork for those wondering.
It would take too long to explain what The Zone & sports radio/media has meant to me & its impact on my life. I’ve been truly blessed to have had the chance to live a dream come true for many years now.
I owe many thanks & a debt of gratitude to individuals like @DavidDJJames, @PKKinahan, @DLocke09, @ScottyGZone, @LloydColezone, @NateDowdle, @JakeScottZone, @BensHoops, @tlacomb, @GBSHansO, & @gregwrubell, along with a host of others who helped me break into the field & shepherded me from being a completely green intern 16 years ago into the grizzled media veteran I am today.
I also thank all of you who have consumed any of the projects/podcasts/shows I have been part of. There’s more to come, so stay tuned.
I’ll still pop up on The Zone from time-to-time, but I am eager to stretch my wings & work on some projects I’ve long-had sitting on the back burner.
If you’re an individual or a business who’d like to work with me, I’m all ears & happy to chat. Reach out to me here, via DM/email etc.
Thanks again to all of you for your continued support & the work doesn’t stop. We roll on!
“Blessed are the peacemakers” - Remember that
I’ve debated whether I should post this, but I feel the need to share my perspective regarding Treyson Bourguet’s recent social media post. As a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, someone who moved to Utah for school, and now someone who professionally covers college athletics in this state, I have a little bit
more of an outside perspective.
It’s disheartening to see the contention between BYU and Utah fans, especially when the conversation revolves around what it means to be “Christlike.”
I respect BYU fans who have defended Treyson, just as I respect the Utah fan who disagree with his comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but disagreement doesn’t justify name-calling, personal attacks, or tearing others down. Having just attended a church and having a lesson today centered on love, I find it disappointing that so much of the online conversation reflects the opposite. We can disagree respectfully without questioning someone’s faith, character, or intentions.
There is already enough hatred and negativity in this world. Regardless of your religious beliefs or university allegiance, I believe we could all benefit from greater kindness, humility, and self-reflection, myself included. I’m disappointed as human being. I hope we all continue to strive by demonstrating love, especially toward those with whom we disagree.
Just my thoughts with all the back and forth.

All I can say about today is the primary program at church is in the rearview mirror & for that I am grateful 🤣

If that’s the Bruce branch III we get all year that I saw in the UNLV scrimmage, then he’s not falling past 2 in the 2027 NBA Draft.

Interception while you're driving to score.
Jump offsides on 4th & 4
Fumble on 2nd & 1, driving into the red zone

One more angle which suggests the defender was indeed pulled down into the kicker.
Jake Hatch (Yawk) - Fortis Valore et Armis retweeted
Lots of questions about this one.
There is forcible contact to the kicker’s plant leg.
Replays are unclear but if the defender overpowers the blocker, then this is a foul.
If the blocker pulls the defender down into the kicker it’s not a foul.
FWIW - Bachmeier checked into that third down run play. At least it appeared that way. Made dummy call & then made the audible🤷♂️

The last time the FBS had three or fewer undefeated teams by Oct. 24 was 1977, per CBS Sports Research.

11 straight home wins for New Mexico, its longest run since 1928. Jason Eck is 10-0 at home.
Fans chanted “Jason Eck” as the clock wound down.
