Latest Nuggets News, Notes and Rumors
10/20/2009
Hello everyone, I am Garrett Olsen and I am going to be a freshman at Colorado State University this fall to major in Journalsim and Mass Communication. I have a great passion for playing, following, and writing about sports. I have played four years of Travel Ice Hockey as well as 10 years of Baseball, but my biggest passion is writing about the Denver Nuggets. I hope to graduate CSU with the major I mentioned earlier and land a job on the radio to talk about the NBA or all Denver local teams. I have been in the Rocky Mountain News paper for certain quotes on Sam Adam articles as well as broadcasted High School Football games. I talk to Travis Heath of hoopsworld.com every week about the Denver Nuggets and try to gain as much info as I possibly can.
Feel free to agree or disagree with anything I write, just give me feed back on my thoughts and opinions. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my takes.
I write for mtrmedia.com and you can view the full version of all of my articles there starting on August 21st. I'm at Denver Nuggets on the GO and Fantasy Football on the GO. This is my paying job, so all views are appreciated.
I also cover the Denver Nuggets for INDenverTimes.com.
If you have any questions you can reach me at gdolsen@rams.colostate.edu.
hey garrett,
Two new articles I wrote this week which haven't been getting much coverage.
Check this one out from yesterday on Roy Hibbert & Greg Oden, two rising centers in the NBA:

Wait,
They got pissed for teasers? Damn, I guess I will stop all that then. I don't want B/R mad at me, but am interested in MTR.
Thanks again,
Yeah, there's a link to my facebook on my profile.

Garrett, its all good man, don't worry about it.
Well I'd love to write about the Broncos, or CSU Rams Football and would appreciate it if you asked your boss for me.
Yeah, KCSU would be just about CSU sports, and I'm not sure about pro sports up here. There is a CBS northern newsroom, but I don't know.
Cheers

Garrett,
Good to hear from you. First of all, I'm graduated, so no more class or school for me, at least for now. Second, the site looks great, and I would love to write for it, if there is an opportunity there.
Next, I am interested in KCSU still, and feel that we should go to them sooner rather than later, as getting something together after seasons start will likely be too late. What were you thinking again?
Anyway, I'll throw your site onto my facebook, which I encourage you to be a fan of, it's on my profile page, and hopefully some of my friends will check it out. It will go along with a tweet. Anyway, hit me back with some info. Cheers

Garrett,
Sounds great. I would love to be a co-anchor, and since I'm going to be the Colorado State Examiner for examiner.com, I'm going to start going to some football practices and stuff.

Garrett,
Awesome stuff all around man!
I see that you will be an incoming freshman. I encourage you to get into KCSU and try to do some radio, as I missed out on that opportunity. Although, if you ever need a co-anchor, or anything like that, even a stat guy or anything, please let me know! Also, if you ever need anything in FO CO, like a tour of campus, a tour of the city, or anything else, please let me know.

Garrett,
GO CSU!
Check out this new piece I wrote. It's for examiner.com, and it's my second one for them. I am the Colorado State Rams Examiner, and will be covering the entirety of their sports program for an indefinite amount of time, hopefully a while.
Anyway, check out my piece please, and if you have an extra second, leave me a comment, no need to sign up, I believe, and any size comment will make me a little money!
