Even their own players are questioning the play call.

I agree with you about Bubba Raw.

Also it was amazing when a caller asked about IO earlier, Bubba was real quick to be like "uhhhh thats not a thing shut up kiiiid"

Dude has too many projects up in the air as usual.

I made a long winded post in the slack thread about him needing to streamline his brand, figure out what to do with io, and perhaps fold Bubba Raw. I won't subject you guys to another wall of text, but he's been given a great opportunity here to freshen things up and expand his brand (eat your heart out Kayla) but he needs some competent web people and a clear vision.

When has IO ever been Bubba's #1 priority? Now that he has a bonafide FM station to ruin you think IO is even in the back of his tiny brain? When was the last time he did an "added value" Thursday show?

Now with actual ratings on the line, watch him do his "added value" thing on his 10 a.m. music block. He'll probably sit in and hot jock to pop the numbers now and then.

I think even with good people the problem is Bubba's vision outweighs any other vision

You're not wrong there, I'm just glad we dodged a bullet and there is no Sam Simon hour

Sportscenter showed a play he called in the USC v. Texas National championship game where they went on 4th and 1. He ran it and left Reggie Bush on the sidelines. Didn't get the 1st.

He showed how much he cares about WBRN by the people he has on after him. He didn't even think about putting "professional" jocks to run each time slot. What does he do? He goes on the cheap (or free most likely) and gives the Waters family three hours, Manson by proxy Ned for four hours and 25 three hours. None of which are true hosts imo. Hell I'd take Ledge (if he could calm down the conspiracy bullshit a tad) Stan and Haney and even Mike Reeves over what is on there now. He really didn't learn anything from IO, did he?

Listening to the replay now of him talk about "all the talent they hired". What talent? So now Trace is actually gonna get paid to puke on the radio?

Pete doesn't call the offensive plays, Darrell Bevell does, for what that's worth.

Exactly, I was actually hoping to hear some actual Jocks getting a shot, not just IO rehashed nepotism bullshit, this will fail, fail quickly and horribly.

Yeah, an FM friendly Cluster...fudge? radio won't work. It's already in a bit of a death slot.

They really need a strong personality handling middays or afternoons. I like the idea of PM Mad Monkey but 25 may end up burning himself out.
