Welcome to the inaugural year of The Signpost Sportscast, hosted by Brayson Brown and Collyn Cowles. This weekly podcast, airing every Wednesday from noon to 2 p.m., is your go-to source for all things Weber State University Athletics. In the Oct. 16 episode, we’ll recap recent standout performances, highlight upcoming events, and delve into the vibrant sports culture at Weber State University.
Recent stories covered by The Signpost
We kick off the podcast by reviewing some stories featured by the sports writers in The Signpost. One of the biggest highlights is Weber State’s historic victory over the University of Montana, where the Wildcats triumphed with a score of 55–48 in overtime. We’ll discuss the key moments that defined this game, including standout performances from Richie Muñoz, who earned the title of National Player of the Week, and Garrett Beck, recognized as Defensive Player of the Week. This win not only broke Montana’s impressive 15-game home winning streak but also marked a significant achievement in Weber State’s sports history.
However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Wildcats. In a hard-fought homecoming game against the University of Northern Colorado, Weber State suffered a 21–17 loss, marking the Bears’ first victory over the Wildcats since 2012. Despite racking up 401 yards of offense, including 230 rushing yards, Weber State’s five turnovers proved costly. They led at halftime, 14–7, but couldn’t secure the win in the final moments.
Richie Muñoz threw for 171 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for a score. The defense, led by Raimoana Tinirauarii’s career-high 15 tackles, struggled to contain Northern Colorado’s resurgence in the second half. This loss leaves the Wildcats at 3–4 overall and 2–1 in Big Sky Conference play as they prepare for a challenging matchup against California State University, Sacramento next week.
