Friday Roundup: The “New Life” Episode
Yeah, you read that right, "episode" and not "edition" as the Friday Roundup is now coming to you in full podcast form. My show is done on KVCE and, after a one week absence, it's time to get the ball rolling again. And with this new life to my show, I'm changing up the Friday Roundup a bit. Since the podcast and this post would essentially duplicate efforts, this post will house the weekly podcast and I'll throw in the links discussed on the show so you can follow along while ...
Friday Roundup: The KVCE Finale (Episode 30 – May 29, 2015)
After 30 episodes, it's time to say farewell to the KVCE studio. There is some farewell thoughts and thank yous, but also a discussion on a college player claiming the NCAA has issues feeding him properly as well as the latest on Everett Golson and his comments to Bruce Feldman. Thanks to everyone that has been listening to the show. Next week, we kick off everything in complete podcast format! ...
Friday Roundup: The “Semantics” Edition
Everett Golson spoke to Bruce Feldman about why he transferred to Florida State from Notre Dame and, quite honestly, didn't really shed any clarity on the situation. I mean, he gave the interview in San Diego at George Whitfield's QB camp while wearing Notre Dame gear and studying Florida State's playbook with his ex-teammate, Amir Carlisle. Yes, that's all as weird as it sounds. But out of the strange explanations that Golson delivered to Feldman, quite a few folks seemed to latch on to this ...
Friday Roundup: The “Winds of Change” Edition
On the morning of November 4, 2015, I figured that my life would make quite the drastic change. I decided to do something crazy and launch a radio show on my own dime. It was a huge financial risk, but an opportunity to be on the DFW airwaves seemed too good to pass up. So before I left for work, I signed, scanned, and emailed the final documents to make the entire thing official. As soon as I reached my office door, I was greeted with a handshake from my manager whom had just packed up his ...

Friday Roundup – Episode 26 (May 1, 2015)
In this episode of the Friday Roundup, I'm talking NFL draft and which schools are the front-runners after the first round. Also, when should kids be allowed to go pro? A discussion on whether or not Notre Dame will schedule a 13th game and other major headlines throughout college football. ...
Friday Roundup – Episode 24
Tonight on the Friday Roundup, there's a lot of Notre Dame football talk on this Blue/Gold eve. I may get to call a play for the Irish, some non-QB battle things to look out for, and some talk on Elli Thatcher and 271 miles. Finally, I mention Jim Delany's ideas on how to "fix" the academic issues in college football. Also, fill out this survey for a chance at a $25 Amazon gift card. This will be the last week! ...
Friday Roundup – Episode 23 (April 10, 2015)
Hey, look at this--through the wonder of technology (and me actually learning it), this week's episode of the Friday Roundup is here in a timely fashion! This week, I talk about the joys (read pain) of being a sports fan, especially when your teams manage to find success. Also discussed, Gary Patterson of TCU decides to fire away months later at the playoff committee, a Notre Dame spring catch-up, and the possibility of the 12 team conference championship requirement being ...
Friday Roundup: The “Pain in Success” Edition
Monday and Tuesday of this week were strange sports nights as a Notre Dame fan. Watching Wisconsin and Duke square off in the men's basketball final threw my brain into a "what if" spiral. Notre Dame had beaten Duke, twice, the last two losses they had suffered this season. Wisconsin managed to do what Notre Dame came so close to doing: knocking off Kentucky. So what if Notre Dame had pulled off the upset first. Would they then have beaten Wisconsin to face a team they had already beaten ...
