Longtime UNLV football color analyst Mike Pritchard is moving back to Colorado to join Sports Radio 104.3 The Fan, the station announced today.
Pritchard, a Rancho High graduate, was the most valuable player on the 1990 Colorado Buffaloes national championship team and played nine years in the NFL. A first-round pick in the 1991 draft, Pritchard caught 422 passes for 5,187 yards and 26 touchdowns in his time with the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
Since retiring, Pritchard has worked as a UNLV football analyst for 11 seasons, as well as co-hosting the “Mitch and Pritch Show” on ESPN 1100 AM.
Pritchard last week said he’d be leaving Las Vegas and today announced he’d be joining fellow former Denver Bronco Cecil Lammey for the “Pritch and Cecil” show in Colorado, which starts Aug. 16.
“I’m beyond excited to become a member of the Sports Radio 104.3 The Fan family and be a contributor to one of the strongest lineups in all of sports talk radio,” Pritchard told Johnny Hart of 104.3 The Fan. “It’s an honor to work side by side with The Fan’s great talent, and I am ready for this remarkable opportunity. In 1987, I forged some lifelong friendships at CU. I’m thrilled to be back to build new relationships in the great state of Colorado.”
