Great Scott!

[Cajunrunner]

I find Jay's show to be good. I really don't get a chance to listen to Stevie P. in the mornings. As for "Great Scott", I know the guy, and he's probably still trying to get the whole show host thing together. He's only about 23 or 24 yrs. old, and being the host of a radio show really isn't the easiest thing in the world. But if the show doesn't get ratings after the grace period of him trying to get his feet stable, then ESPN 1420 will probably replace him.

I second the idea, though, that a Lafayette Sports Station should certainly dedicate a show to UL sports before even thinking about doing shows on LSU.

Besides the Great Scott show I have other issues with the programming. The station has special programming: LSU and you show, Making the turn (golf), The Saints Report, a high school football show, even a fantasy football show, and of course talking tigers. That's fine. I don't have to listen if I don't want to. But other than the coaches shows during the respective seasons, there is no show dedicated strictly to UL. That is also disheartening and I think since the Lafayette LSU fans can get their own show that maybe some of us UL fans should try and get one of our own!!! Now that's radio that I would listen to.

This isnt entirely true. I know for a fact that Ryckman has 2 shows a week dedicated to just Ragin Cajuns...trust me, my company sponsors the shows! I also know that he hasnt had his shows during the summer, because, well its summer! I think that we have forgotten that during baseball season he has Schefz(sp?) on and in the Fall he has Babb.

Secondly, I find that during the "non-themed" shows, I find that UL takes the lead in what is going on, except during Foote...all astros and Saints, which is cool too...at least the saints part I know every now and then there are some A&M questions thrown in, but I find that is mostly about UL, except during the summer.

Just my .02

Also, if I may say so myself, Jay if you are listening(reading), you seem to be a hell of alot more knowlegble about LSU and the Saints than UL!! DaddyCajun

Saints? If there is one thing that I find Jay to be wayyyyyyyyyy off, it is his commentary about the NFL. I want to call in and change the subject when he and Scott start talking Saints and the NFL because they are soooo off. Sometimes I want to punch the radio when he starts jabbing about the Saints or NFL stuff, that "aint gonna happen" then of course...it does. But we all know how Jay likes when people call to give him an opinion opposite of his!

Look I respect everyone's opinion here. I don't necessarily agree with all of them. For instance, I think Jay does a great job and he does a lot to promote this university especially with the battle to be called Louisiana. His show i find hilarious and i don't think he's a jerk at all. I just think lately he's been a little cranky about coming back to work after a good ole vacation (well deserved I might add). But who isn't cranky about going back to work after a vacation? I know I'm in a bad mood this week cause I started back with classes at UL. UGhh I hate classes but I, just like Jay (i'm pretty sure), will be in a much better mood once the Cajuns' season starts. And everything in the world will be right again.

Yes, but this is a coaches show. That's why I'm saying I would like there to be a show where for one hour, the only topic on the table is UL. And where cajun fans can call in the entire hour and talk about their opinions without being ridiculed for it.

[AboveAverage]

Rickman has had Babb on every week, every year since he signed at UL, I respect that.

...and here I am wishing I could listen to something besides UT/Cowboys/Rangers/Astros on my morning commute. Or even worse, when ESPNradio talks about everything BUT sports. I've gone through an hour long afternoon commute without a single mention. Those knuckleheads carry on like they are a syndicated morning show. I could care less about what they watched on TV the night before (unless they are breaking down a game), and I'm fully aware that Tiger Wood's woman is hot. We don't need to carry on about it for an hour. I can't see her in the radio.

I'm with you, I went through 1420 withdrawls when I left Lafayette. I barely listen to sports radio at all now.

Also, if I may say so myself, Jay if you are listening(reading), you seem to be a hell of alot more knowlegble about LSU and the Saints than UL!! You will go on and on about LSU but in regards to questionsa about UL, the answers tend to be rather short!

Jay your shows have taken an educational vacation when it comes to UL sports and your working on your PHD when it comes to LSU!!!

Jay your my man when it comes to Broadcasting UL sports, and I love your show but as a concerned listener, please remember the FANS and sponsors that made your show!! Please do not sell us out!

DaddyCajun

ps Jay please take this as constructive verbalization about talk radio fustration!! UL is what gave you your market and your show base. Please step back from it all and take a look at your shows, do your homework on the Cajuns there are many of us that are starving out here and we are NOT LSU fans at heart! Feed us papa Jay, feed the starving Cajun Faithful!

Let's see. LSU fans call me a UL homer. Now UL fans say I'm getting my LSU phd.

Sounds like I'm getting pretty close to the right balance

i really like all the morning guys, stevie and billy. i like listening to kevin. i don't listen to scott very much cause its just not interesting. i know what you guys mean about all the poll junk.(lazy radio) i can't stand listening to the other afternoon guy. you know who i mean. i'm not tryin to be ugly. jay is not a bad guy, but i think his show is AWFUL! if you call in and say something contrary to his opinion, he doesn't respond half the time. then theres just ten seconds of dead air. its like he just wants you to say what you have to say and then hang up. and i find hes a jerk to people on the radio alot. one last thing (but not the only one) for instance he won't talk recruiting a lot just because HE doesn't like recruiting. i thought they were caller driven shows?

I usually listen to Jay and Scott when I am driving home in the afternoon mainly to hear the old man call who sounds like he's from cecelia. But If I have a gripe about on thing on Scott's show is that there are too many phone calls. I listen to alot of ESPN Radio, the Jim Rome show and there is one thing that they always mention is that if there too many calls in a show, that means they aren't doing there job. Meaning they aren't prepared, and don't have enough subject to cover a show. I think this is the main problem with his show. I don't find that the morning shows take as many calls, but those guys are alot more experienced than Scott. I like Jay Walkers show. It took me a while to get over his brashness, but he's got a decent show and he has alot of subject matter to discuss and listen to.

Agreed I don't listen to sports talk radio for the callers I like to here good information and On The Great Scott show he takes way to many callers. I would like to see more interviews and more information that we want to hear.
