Working at ESPN has been a dream of mine for years. This past month, that dream became reality!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve started working as a Sports Content Researcher on the ESPN Research team!

I will work on wide range of sports and shows📊🎥🎬

Always fun to watch college football Saturdays from the couch, but feels weird to not be covering Tulane Football today. They start their season in week 1, however I will not be at next Saturday’s opener.

Fortunately, I have some very exciting news to share 🔜

Stay tuned📺

Tulane getting a pick-6 in back-to-back weeks has been sweet.

Wave had 5 in 2024, and I saw a pick-6 in consecutive weeks in Lafayette & Norman, OK.

Last season, their first came in the conference championship thanks to Chris Rodgers.

2 catches in the first 20 minutes for Oliver Mitchell Jr., matching his reception total from the first half of season. He’s now doubled his total from last season.

Feels like he has been effective in limited opportunities.

I walk back onto the field and Garrett Mmahat reels in a 56-yard catch…because of course.

Awesome throw by Trace Johnson and amazing work from Mama Hot.

PICK SIX on the first play of the game 🚨

Have been looking forward to this episode dropping.
Jack Benjamin’s appearances on my brother’s podcast are always a blast, especially for Tulane🌊 fans!
Huge win last weekend against Memphis on ESPN, and another big game tonight vs UTSA.

James Madison’s undefeated season ends in OT at App State. JMU’s CFP chances take a giant hit.

FOUR NIGHTS IN OCTOBER 🗓️

On this date in 2004, the Red Sox completed the greatest comeback in MLB postseason history against the Yankees.

22 years later, they're STILL the only team to overcome a 3-0 deficit and win a postseason series.
