Episode 72: Unmasking the Journey of Dan Scott and March Madness

Unmasked With Neil Getzlow

I went to school to be a sports broadcaster and actually had a chance to call some basketball and football games at the University of Kansas on KJHK-FM before realizing that sports play-by-play was not going to work for me. That's why I am so excited this week to interview Dan Scott.

If you don't know Dan, you might know him by this call from March Madness earlier this year when Furman upset Virginia in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

I love that call and I love Dan's testimony and his story. In fact, I'm not sure why, but I was overcome with emotion listening to Dan talk about his redemption. Maybe it was because our testimonies are similar in some ways. For Dan, God took him from the top of the mountain, humbled him on the way down the mountain, only to lift him back up, and he handled that rise back up with so much humility as you will hear. In addition to being Director of Broadcasting for Furman University, Dan is also the founder of Grand Slam Ministries where he hosts his own radio show - the Dan Scott Show.

And make sure you stay to the end of the interview as Dan and I talk about his recent visit to Buc-ee's truck stop - a place that I am counting down the days to visiting when it opens in 2024 in Springfield, Missouri.
