ROSWELL, Ga. – Relatively true to form, I have remained fairly busy despite being on a month-long break from KU and KUJH. Since returning to Atlanta, I have been on the road, attending NFL games in St. Louis and Green Bay on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, respectively. In St. Louis, I spent the Rams-49ers game in the Rams Radio booth with play-by-play man Steve Savard and Coach Jim Hanifan, filling in for the irreplaceable Jack Snow. For my first ever game at Lambeau Field, an essential destination for any NFL fan, I sat in the CBS Radio/Westwood One booth for the national radio broadcast, where Dave Sims and Jeff Bostic called the 170th meeting between the Packers and Bears with Kevin Kiley on the sideline. This weekend, with bowl season in full swing, I will likely attend the Peach Bowl and Sugar Bowl, both of which will be at the Georgia Dome this year, as well as the Falcons-Panthers game. Translation: a weekend chock-full of football is in store, a good time to say the least.

LAWRENCE, Kan. – After directing 32 shows in just over four months, my first semester as a director for KUJH wrapped up last night with two shows in a span of 90 minutes: the Wednesday edition of Jayhawk Sports Talkand the Jayhawk Sports Talk: Bowl Special. Doing two shows on back-to-back nights takes a lot of energy, but I’ve had the pleasure of working with 15 people, who have made my first foray into studio directing a truly memorable experience.
