In an unusual, but wonderful turn of events, Zeb decided to "chuck a sickie" (or call in sick to work - as our australian friends say) and travel with me and my team to Utah State this week. Maybe it was brought on by the fact that we watched anchor man on the bus on the way there, but Zeb really stepped up his involvement this road trip. It all started during shootaround when Zeb was talking to our radio guy, Tyler, and looking through his stats pages. Zeb helped him brainstorm for questions for his interviews with the coach and a player. At some point it was decided that Zeb should be the color commentator in addition to Tyler's play-by-play. And if he was going to do the color comentating, he was going to need a new and improved radio name - Rex Cunningham was born. So we thought we were pretty funny, and continued to joke about this for the rest of the day, but then Zeb actually ended up sitting at the media table next to the radio guy, listening to him call the game. Zeb sat next to the live stats computer and pointed out key stats throughout the game, and Tyler actually said that Zeb found some pretty interesting stuff that he never would have thought of. Zeb was pretty disappointed when he found out that radio guys don't really make that much money, and that they all pretty much have to keep second job to make a living. Before he found that out, Zeb was already making plans to quit his day job and come on the road with us full time!
