Sports with Neil and friends was an award-winning radio show on KUGR.org from September, 2011 until May, 2015. We broadcast 100 live episodes from the station’s studio in Murrow Hall. The blog was founded as a way to help promote the show, increase listener access to the host, and allow the host to expand upon thoughts we made during the show. Eventually the blog began to expand and grow at its own pace, quickly developing its own identity.

Below is a list of awards we’ve accumulated over the years.
