BORN TO BLAZE THE
PATH LESS BEATEN

ESPN treats college baseball like an afterthought. Try finding a box score for a midweek game between Rice and Houston. Try tracking your team's conference standings without clicking through 15 pages.

Fans deserve better. I spent years checking scores on apps that did not care about the sports I care about. College baseball — the sport I grew up playing, the sport my family drove 12 hours from Memphis to Austin to watch every Thanksgiving — treated like background noise by every major network.

My family has held the same four season tickets to Texas Longhorn football for over 40 years. I was at the Ricky Williams record-breaking game against A&M. I pitched a perfect game once — 27 up, 27 down. Sports are not a pastime for me. They are the fabric of how my family stays connected.

My first baseball team was the Bartlett Blaze. Years later, I got a dachshund and named him after that team. When it came time to name the company, the story was never about perfection. It was about blazing paths other people were afraid to walk.

Austin & Blaze — the company's namesake

Blaze Sports Intel — named after a dog, built for fans who got tired of waiting.
