i would love to make fun of all you for sounding like such incredible tools on this page bitching and moaning about the banalities of local sports radio (which, to be clear, you absolutely sound like) but i would seriously pay money to never have to hear justin wells' dumbass east texas twang spewing endless koolaid flavored cliches about what grown ass men everyone is in practice and on the recruiting trails.

Wait, you don't think his cracker "nuttin' but love, brother" closing is authentic?  Man, I think he fooled me.

Rod's passable at best. I'm sorry that he was a superstar on campus when some of you were on the 40. That doesn't make him worth a shit when it comes to radio. He's fine. He has nothing interesting to say basically ever. He just recites a bunch of football stats and goes over how different sets interact with each other. 

 

Yeah Rod uses too many stats...  guess he lacks confidence as a radio guy so he's constantly using stats in an attempt to prove to listeners that he really knows his stuff.

Makes me think of this classic... "No Confidence"

I was thinking yesterday he'd be better for a higher profile gig - national maybe - because of how verbose he is and how much research he does. You just have to tone him down with a partner who actually contributes and cuts his monologuing down. Hardge doesn't do anything. He chimes in as much as a producer would normally.

Your premise is correct but I think that particular stat is a good find

Trey has the douchey whiny tone....so I eventually could zero in on his voice quick.  Still no update on what happened?

 

Yeah no Trey for me either...  YUCK!!!

Elling just made an appearance on this On Texas Football YouTube today.  Really hope this is just a one time thing.  😬

Well Fuck... On this video, Trey says he will be with Joe Cook every Monday.  Guess On Texas Football hired him to help out with their YouTube stuff😬

Re: The Horn.

Holy Shit.  I liked Zay in doses when he was a producer. I still think he knows his shit, and agree with most his takes.  But holy shit it's like listening to Chad and the Joker.

I don't know, I think Zay is hilarious and seems to know his shit. A welcome little bit of crazy to offset a dull co-host

I definitely lol at things he says, but dang don't laugh at all your own jokes. Not sure if they have a name for their show yet, heard some dumb ass listener ideas last week.

That's pretty awesome.

Quote

For him it was always music,” remembers his sister Sissy. “He started on radio in Albuquerque and then he came to KLBJ. For whatever reason, [Lady Bird Johnson] and him really got along, and at a lot of KLBJ events she would ask that he escort her. It was such an odd relationship, the freaky rock & roller and the dainty first lady, but he very much loved that family before the station was sold.

I found Ward by accident because I got fucking sick of the non-fucking-stop high school coverage on the Horn. I get it, sprinkle in some HS stuff, but damn it’s all day every day. Don’t need to hear an interview with the vandegrift jv volleyball coach. And i don’t need snoop Daniel shoving that shit my way. Plus the station is barely detectable in central/west Austin  

Switched over and heard my former Advertising prof talking sports like the old days. Liking it.

The first paragraph cannot be emphasized enough.  Between the HS sports, "Florida Man" bullshit, and five minutes of commercials every ten minutes, the late morning show with Craig Way and Jeff Howe is basically unlistenable for me.

Exactly. You have the voice of the Longhorns and a Longhorn “insider” and you waste my time telling me that the “computer” favors Goldthwaite by 7 over Bangs. I dont fucking care.

You forgot the part where Craig has to pontificate on the fact that "the computer" has no bias.  Every.  Single.  Time.  They.  Talk.  About.  It.

You will find your life much more pleasurable when you stop listening to "sports talk" radio.

Do you really care what "Joe" in South Austin thinks about the Packer's chances of making the playoffs? 

Take it from me......listen to Little Steven's Underground Garage instead - Sirius XM 21. 

You’re not wrong. About 50% of my radio time is 89.5 classical music. It’s the other 50% that’s pissing me off. 

Oh, the “all flex team” has  running back from Manor that is committed to Central Oklahoma? Fantastic.

Boo on Jason Dick. Been listening for a long time. The sports podcast with Nick and DaveB was always fun to listen to as well as it was roughly an hour of them bullshitting with each other with sports mixed in. 

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he posts here or at least lurks.

Finkle is Einhorn. Dick is Derka.
