For the first Scrogcast of the season, I did a little reflecting on Cal Poly football’s 41-14 season-opening win and have a couple of special interview segments.
I got Wisconsin transfers Jake Irwin and Cameron Ontko from the Mustangs’ football team talking about the big game in ’08 — when a certain person missed a certain something three times. Surprisingly, it didn’t seem to factor a whole lot into Irwin and Ontko’s decisions to come to Cal Poly, but you learn that and a lot more about the two men in a windy exchange at the Upper Sports Complex. (Windy = some minor microphone interference.)
I also sat down with Tribune reporter Nick Wilson, who has moved over from the news desk to cover sports this season. Nick has worked at the Tribune since 2004, covering crime, courts and higher education most recently and will be handling the high school sports beat. Learn more about his background as a college baseball player, his hometown’s most famous internet celebrity and his brush with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
