🚨 Major @LewTrib_Sports staff updates 🚨 🧵 First, I have accepted to take over as the new sports editor. No interim tag this time around. I’m super excited to lead this sports staff and continue our very, very long tradition of great sports coverage in the Inland Northwest 1/4.

Wow. Clearly, the Idaho Vandals should play a top-10 Montana school every week.
Idaho pulls off the upset against Montana 42-35. Two redzone stops in the 4th and a near perfect offensive performance gets the job done in Missoula. Joshua Wood finishes the game 30-38 for 335 yards and 3 touchdowns.

This Idaho offense is pretty dang fun. Talk about a team that's better than its record. The Vandals record their second massive upset in three weeks.

It's always fun to talk Vandals, especially after a big win. I joined @TrevorJunt, @StephanSports, @MattBaney_Trib, @TheoLawson_SR, Mike Tatko and Troy Warzocha to find out what Idaho's biggest regular-season win in program history is: youtube.com/watch?v=WpjMcPOo…

"Not a writing tool"🤔
Getting a better understanding of this today. In short, I’m told this is a workflow tool, not a writing tool for WSU. Articles still human written, no staff replacement - their plan is to add a sports information director soon. Key goal: reduce postgame hours for current staff.

As a graduate of the @MurrowCollege, I'm skeptical of any use of AI in the creative / editorial process, even as a starting point. WSU cites "efficiency" as a chief reason for this change. Is efficiency more important than the human element of storytelling? I tend to think not
Spoke with Bobby Alworth, WSU director of Athletic Communications, this evening about FanWord. AI content will be edited by staff, and supplemented with human-written elements. WSU is still hiring a 4th SID and will continue to rely on student interns. More reporting to come.

Our incredible photographer Olivia is on the ground and gets absolutely engulfed in the celebration right at the end of this clip. Thankfully another media person pulled her out of the chaos and she came out OK. Talk about being in the right (wrong?) place to get the shot!

What an absolutely insane win for the Idaho Vandals. Can't wait to see where this one lands in the @cornerclub's memorabilia.

Idaho’s season started with a last-second loss to Cal Poly. Tonight, the Vandals walked off No. 1 Montana State for the first win over a top-ranked team in program history. What a ride. Doesn’t get better than this. There’s nothing like the Big Sky. 🏈🔥
JOSHUA WOOD FOR THE WIN!!!!!!

Not bad, I'd say. Nice to see the students showing up big.
Here's what the crowd looks like at the Kibbie Dome one minute before kick.

These layoffs will create holes in our community and leave it poorer. There are now drastically fewer eyes watching your elected officials Fewer reporters uncovering shady businesses And fewer journalists to highlight and celebrate our state’s unsung heroes

Extremely sad to see all the mass McClatchy layoffs today, including at our friends down at the Statesman. Please support local journalism! There are fewer and fewer journalists out there to help hold powerful people accountable and serve our communities and it's only decreasing.

Luke Kuechly is only about a year and a half older than me and today he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with these legends. I still feel like a kid myself. Well deserved and a cool sports perspective moment.

As a very longtime poker fan and recreational player, it's super cool to see a kid from Spokane leading the World Series of Poker Main Event.
"An Insane Moment" @jeffplatt chats with 22-year-old Main Event final table chip leader Lucas Jumalon (@LukeJu22) about what this experience has meant to him. The WSOP Main Event final table will air LIVE on ESPN2 August 3rd, with coverage continuing on ESPN August 4th and 5th.
