When he was fresh out of high school and looking for a gig to help put himself through college, Scott Garrard picked up a telephone and started calling radio stations all around the Cache Valley. He dialed a station that played country music and left a message. To his surprise, someone called back with a job offer. He would work nights, play Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks and Alan Jackson. And then, on Fridays in the fall, he would call high school football games.

This summer, some 20 years after he first made his way onto the Utah airwaves, the sports talk show host found himself on another unexpected phone call, receiving another job offer from someone in his old stomping grounds.
