The Athletic still doesn't have a BYU reporter . . .

Gustav

This! Gurney at the athletic would get me to subscribe.

I would too. Been dragging my feet, but if he were there that would push me

Gman from Dick's Cougar Blue. Good times.

How Gordon Monson retains his job at the Trib is nothing short of amazing

TADOW

He drives traffic.

Turnpike Lane

10/26/20 5:17pm

Whatever he does for the Trib, he'll only get to it once a week.

Seasider

10/26/20 5:20pm

Really? Nice. If we're lucky, maybe the Trib will go to semi-annual the year after that.

For print subscribers. Digital content will be available in real-time as it is

He is in a position of power now

Gomo went to bat for us when it really mattered (Big 12) He's also never afraid

Genghis Spreads

10/26/20 7:22pm

Maybe never "afraid"...but also hardly ever committed.

SinkingQuffa

10/26/20 7:57pm

When did he ever hurt the program? No one else had the balls to offer healthy

Genghis Spreads

10/26/20 8:03pm

Hey, that's the way you want to read him — you're certainly welcome to do so.

Jody was let go today as well

Duke Silver

10/26/20 5:13pm

I feel so bad for the local news people. We’re in a rough period right now

Freak. This sucks

Rough couple years for Jody. Went through a tough divorce he didn’t want, bought

Duke Silver

10/26/20 5:32pm

Yeah rough for him. Sheesh.

JKLCoug

10/26/20 5:23pm

Darn it. Tough break for GMan, longtime friend and poster.

All-American

10/26/20 5:28pm

Hoping the gman finds a newer, better dream fulfilled.

Zaphod

10/26/20 5:29pm

Man, wish he could take Gordo Monson's spot.

Mitty

10/26/20 5:30pm

Gurney's become a well-rounded reporter for both fanbases. I agree.

SinkingQuffa

10/26/20 5:33pm

I wish ANYONE would take Monson's spot. I'd even throw in Kinahan and

Total blue chat days during the crowton years

That sucks for Gurney and all of us. It's been fun following him for many years

10/26/20 5:42pm

Very sad. I know G-Man from his days at Total Blue Sports with Talo Steves.

AF_Puma

Me too. Followed G-Man from TBS almost 20 years ago.

PunkJones

Time for BYUTV to pick up a new reporter, no?

Eddie

10/26/20 6:16pm

Would be great to have a weekly recruiting segment on byutv.

BYUHgrad

Me also.

sandiegocgrfan

Wow, such a gentleman and good at his work.

And Jay Drew still has a job?

BYU '80

Does this open the door on a return of Funky Friday?

10/26/20 6:57pm

Good luck gman. Hope we can keep you reporting on BYU with somebody.

cougfanblue

10/26/20 7:01pm

Terrible move. DesNews lost someone who knows recruiting.

Genghis Spreads

10/26/20 7:10pm

Dang. I feel for G. Good guy.
