  • Shoulder To Shoulder: Colorado's Buffs4Life Foundation

    Shoulder To Shoulder: Colorado's Buffs4Life Foundation
    Apr 16 2026
    When Anthony Weatherspoon suited up for the Colorado Buffaloes, he wasn't just a fullback — he was the kind of teammate people never forgot. So when leukemia threatened his life, his former brothers in black and gold refused to stand on the sidelines. What started as a rallying cry for one of their own became something much bigger: Buffs4Life, a foundation built on the belief that being a Colorado Buffalo doesn't end when your playing days do. In this episode, we explore how that spirit of loyalty has carried families through illness, loss, financial hardship, and grief — and why, more than 20 years later, the Buffs are still showing up for each other, shoulder to shoulder. Guests: Lance Carl - President of the Buffs4Life Foundation Debra Spivey

  • Arizona's Great Season

    Arizona's Great Season
    Apr 14 2026
    College basketball's offseason is officially here, and it's chaotic — but is that a bad thing? Host Cleon Wall breaks down the biggest storylines of the week, starting with the transfer portal frenzy reshaping rosters across the Big 12. Then, the NBA Draft picture comes into focus as ESPN finally reshuffles their top 100 — and BYU's AJ Dybantsa edges out Kansas' Darren Peterson for the top spot. What does that mean for both players heading into their professional careers? Plus, All Sports Tucson's Steve Rivera joins to wrap up Arizona's remarkable season — a record-setting run that fell just short of playing in the national title game. What made this Wildcats team so special, why Tommy Lloyd chose to stay in Tucson over the lure of North Carolina, and who will be the hardest player to replace?

  • BYU: The We Are One Foundation

    BYU: The We Are One Foundation
    Apr 9 2026
    Isaiah Kaufusi’s football journey didn’t follow the storybook ending. After going undrafted and bouncing between NFL rosters, he eventually stepped away from the game in search of something bigger than football. What followed was an unexpected calling—one sparked by BYU Head Football Coach Kalani Sitake. At Sitake’s request, Kaufusi teamed up with former BYU center Connor Pay to launch a nonprofit with a bold mission: create meaningful employment opportunities in Tonga and beyond. The result is The We Are One Foundation, an organization partnering with BYU–Pathway Worldwide to connect students across the South Pacific and Africa with remote work opportunities—and to build a first-of-its-kind employment center in Tonga. In this episode, Isaiah shares how the idea began, what they’re building right now, and why he believes the work happening in Tonga is only the beginning of something far bigger. Guests: Isaiah Kaufusi – President of The We Are One Foundation Connor Pay – BYU football analyst, Vice President of The We Are One Foundation
