2,000 followers!!! When I was making my goals for the 2026 calendar year, I wrote down 2,000 as the number I hoped to achieve by 2027. Never in a million years did I think it would happen in May. As I was sitting in my Las Vegas hotel room following Utah's bowl victory, I thought that number was way too high. At the time, I had 288 followers and was determined to build a following. That feels like a long time ago now. I've mentioned it before, but as an aspiring sports media personality, I recognize how much building a social media presence matters. None of this happens without the people who read my stuff, share it, argue with me about it, and keep coming back. I am so unbelievably grateful for every single one of you. I know 2,000 might not seem like much of a milestone, but seeing others genuinely enjoy the content I produce — the recaps, the transfer portal breakdowns, player analyses — means more to me than I can really put into words. This is what I want to do with my life, and knowing there's an audience that's along for the ride makes all the late nights worth it. I want to give a huge shoutout to the select people in the Utah athletics world who have led me in the right direction through this past year. I hope you all know who you are. Here's to the next 2,000! I can't wait for another year of covering Utah athletics as the Sports Editor of the Daily Utah Chronicle. Thank you. Genuinely. It is, and forever will be, Go Utes!

He's going to run out like this
If College game day somehow makes it back to SLC for the Holy War it’s going to be insane to see the drama unfold 😂

Utah is currently a 6.5-point favorite @ Cincinnati on Saturday. Who do you think covers?

There is a petition with over 10,000 signatures to move the Holy War out of the 10:00 A.M. local slot. Not sure it’s possible to change at this point but it’s pretty clear what the people want.
