Full Court Press is a Cache Valley sports talk show built around Utah State, with Aggie basketball carrying much of the recent load. It has the feel of a live board being updated in public. Portal names move. Commitments shift. Articles can feel old minutes after publication. The show leans into that churn rather than pretending the situation is settled. Recent episodes spend serious time on Ben Jacobson’s first roster cycle, Utah State players staying or leaving, Will Hornseth’s fit, Karson Templin pairings, Mason Falslev’s defensive value, and the broader Pac-12 transfer landscape. The language is casual, but the habits are analytical. One point becomes a roster-count question, then a system-fit question, then a conference-strength question. Listener texts are not decoration; they become pivots, challenges, jokes, and reminders of what the local audience wants more of. The show also keeps a wider sports calendar in view. Jazz seeding, Mammoth playoff questions, NFL and NHL talk, Real Salt Lake, high school broadcasts, and Cache and Box Elder county coverage can all enter the same afternoon. That range keeps the show from becoming only a college basketball notebook, even when the portal dominates an hour that was supposed to last a few minutes. Its best moments come when local specificity explains a larger sports system. NCAA eligibility reform, media rights, Pac-12 expansion, attendance problems, and non-conference scheduling are discussed through the lens of teams the audience already follows. The tone is familiar without being overly cozy. It is skeptical, quick, sometimes tired, and often funny in an understated way. For Aggie fans who want live-text energy plus real roster mechanics, Full Court Press fills a very specific lane.
Made for: For Utah State fans and Cache Valley sports followers who want local conversation with enough detail to follow roster construction, conference movement, and pro-sports spillover.
What sets it apart: The show’s edge is its blend of local focus, listener input, and practical systems talk. It can move from a single Aggie transfer question to Pac-12 power rankings without losing the regional stakes.
Experienced sports personalities Eric Frandsen and Jason Walker take on all the trending sports topics regarding Utah State University sports along with the Mountain West and new Pac-12. Also, everything related to the Utah Jazz, Utah Mammoth and Real Salt Lake. And last but not least, it's the home for talk about sports for Cache and Box Elder county high schools.
