Kap is THE sports authority when it comes to EP sports. As good sports reporters come and go, Kappy has and will continue to be here. With that said, he’s just the tenured professor coasting it. As the authority he can call attention to or apply some heat for local sports and I just don’t see him doing that.

I assume the ad executive side of Kap is a force, because of the success of Townsquare. But sports Kap and Sports Talk is just ultra generic sports show. Thing is there is just no competition for Kap to elevate his game. 1380 had Tipton, but it’s just another iheart afterthought. And that’s pretty much the local competition he’s had. The Sports Grind on 1380 has always been a San Antonio staple, but they are not going to talk UTEP or anything local.

I just can’t imagine Kap competing versus the hosts on the Ticket in Dallas or San Antonio - past or present.

AB moves the needle for me. It’ll be interesting to see his growth. Hell, give him his own show! The station doesn’t need more national programming hacks providing hot takes! Give me a non-westsider, puro El Pasoan that visits a carnecería for his cookout while listening to Mike Guerrero on Sundays, while helping the Ysleta JV baseball team fundraise for new equipment - to have his own show!

In the end, traditional sports radio will die off soon with all these podcasts. I’d listen to a Colin and Andy podcast if they had one.

Kap would absolutely be the lazy UTEP hire to replace Jon. It should be Tim Hagerty’s if he hasn’t already left.

the question of who replaces Teich is an interesting one. His official title is Assistant Athletic Director. So if they expect the next play by play guy to handle administrative duties on top of radio duties that may eliminate several prospective candidates.

We definitely need a big. We’re overloaded at 1-3 and underwhelming at 4-5.
