Friday was a long, fun, and memorable day. I started the morning by broadcasting the Vikings state football championship from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and ended my evening covering the Dawson-Boyd Blackjacks and Montevideo Thunder Hawks girls’ basketball game back home. I left Madison at 5:30 AM for the cities. Much like the week before, the three-hour drive was incredibly quiet; I practically had … Continue reading FULL AND FUN DAY
It wasn’t a typical Saturday for me. My usual routine involves hosting the Coaches Show on Q-92 with Dick Newman at 9 AM then working till noon.

Last Friday, I was in Lakeview to broadcast the Dawson-Boyd and Lakeview football game on a beautiful fall evening. As I walked from my car toward the field, I couldn’t help but notice what a fantastic complex Lakeview has.
