Great Scott!

[Tripple Threat]

I'm trying to be empathetic and understand that Scott's having growing pains, but...He seems to be very comfortable in the way he's handling the show. If he's doing nothing but answering calls, then he's obviously got listeners. He has a captured audience. Hopefully this thread will bring some perspective to what this audience wants..............Although on that note, does he really care what we think? Filling the airwaves is more of a task, than an interest in what the callers have to say. He's probably more concerned with doing the job. Maybe we as listeners care a little to much.

Just a thought.

Rhineaux:

Scott does not need to be dropped right now, and hopefully ESPN 1420 won't drop someone who is still trying to learn his way around hosting his own show. Scott has aspirations like every other good professional. I'm only 2 1/2 years out of college and know I'm still trying to be more efficient in my profession. I would hope my employer's clients aren't calling him asking him to fire me because I'm not a seasoned landman with 10+ years of knowledge. Like Tripple Threat said, Scott has alot of callers. Obviously someone is listening to the show. I listen when I can, though catching 1420 out here in Iota is far from a sure thing.

Kracker LSU:

Check your facts. First of all, Blanco didn't even win Lafayette Parish. I know I sure as hell didn't vote for her. However, if my memory serves me right, she did win East Baton Rouge Parish. LSU's home chose her, NOT UL's home. Second, Blanco wasted no time cutting funds to UL, as she did it within the first year of her term. Therefore, all this "Blanco is all about trying to pump up her almimater" is nothing but pure BS and propaganda from LSU hacks.

By the way, I do root against LSU. The only time I don't is when they play UL-Monroe, though I may decide to switch up on that.

[Cajunsmike]

Not at all. We are very happy to have Scott with us.

Scott is new in this business and is still feeling his way around. He'll be getting plenty of direction from Steve and me. As a young broadcaster he'll make plenty of mistakes. We will be patient. Hope you will be as well.

Scott had a tough time coming up with topics when Jay was away on vacation. College football teams had not started practice, baseball is in the dog days, and pro preseason games were yet to be played. I can see why he went the "poll" route.

As far as KPEL in general, I would like to see a show dedicated to overall UL athletics. Having Nelson Schexnayder on weekly when he was AD resulted in good info being distributed. David Walker does not do that type of thing so another approach will have to be used. Bird of Paradise, do you have any ideas in this regard. Only person I can think of is Gerald Hebert but the probably does not have time. I wonder if SID personnel could be used. A better idea is to give Dan McDonald a weekly spot on one of the shows. He knows more about what is going on with the actual teams than anyone. He may not know as much as what is going on with things like future schedules and conference issues as someone in the Athletic Department. I would even suggest having Scott host one of these type shows as to do so would force him to learn the details about Cajun athletics.

I think you would be surprised...... I bet if you asked Gerald he would make the time. I don't think Gerald would ever pass up a chance like that to market his product.

I just wanted to remind everyone that this line or thread or whatever, was started to state the fact that Scott Prather sucks. Not that I care what you talk about on what thread, I just wanted to restate that fact.

I was thinking the same thing a little while ago. We are kinda off topic. Oh well.

Thanks for the heads up. I love Van Morrison's songs. BTW, who do you have on the intro music on your show?? Oh, yeah! VM!!!

What is the "evening shadows" comment about? Some of us aren't as "culturally aware" as the Great Spam!
