Football season is just a few weeks away. Many have already started their preseason preparation. That involves digging through preseason publications, attending practices, and developing storylines for the season. Perhaps the most crucial part of preseason preparation is getting to know the roster of the team you cover like the back of your hand. (Full disclosure: I don’t actually know the back of my hand all that well.) That involves memorization.… Read More

Living in South Dakota, networking and building relationships with other industry members can be challenging. There just aren’t that many of us in the state, we live a long way from major markets, and it’s not common for people to leave and decide to visit South Dakota for the weekend.

This weekend was my bachelor party. Instead of writing for this website I was busy jumping out of an airplane and trying to drink Denver out of Coors Lite. That is why this week I’m happy to have James Westling contribute with a guest article. James is an award winning broadcaster from Salina, Kansas. Without further ado…
