If you follow me on twitter, you know I am not a big fan of the local sports media in Utah. At least mostly. There are some guys that I really enjoy listening to. Bill Riley, Hans Olsen, Jeremiah Jensen, Tom Kirkland, etc. There are also a few journalists that I like, they are Jody Genessy, Tony Jones, and Brad Rock.
One of my biggest complaints is the lack of coverage for the "small" schools in Utah. It just doesn't exist. As I mentioned today, SUU defeated the #1 ranked team in the FCS and they barely got a blurb in the DesNews.
I think that the blogosphere for the "big" teams is overdone. There are so many blogs out there for the Utes and Cougars. But there aren't many for Utah State, Weber, SUU, etc.
I have created a blog that aims to fill in the gap. This will be a blog devoted to ALL sports in the state of Utah. Are you a high school fan? We will have you covered. Do you like the Dixie st. soccer team? We will have that as well. We will also give coverage to the Utes, BYU, and the Jazz. But it wont dominate.
Needless to say, this is a big undertaking. I cant do it alone ( I work full time now, thank goodness!). So, I need some help. I need people who want to write for fun and cover a beat. I really feel like this site can get big with the right people.
If you want to see it (its VERY basic, obviously, ill need some help on design), you can visit it here. We are working on a twitter handle as well.
So shoot me an email utahsportscentral@yahoo.com if you want to help. Or tweet at me. Any help appreciated!
