Scott Prather

[Turbine]

what did the acronym s.c.o.t.t. stand for?

This is a sad end of an era for me.

1420 was having to decide between my broadcast partner and Scott Prather as to who was going to be second to Jay at 14.20

My HS football PbP broadcast partner had been there a while and I didn't know the station was making a decision, but I called into Scott's unnamed show and suggested he call it the "Great Scott Show"

I told him on the air, Scott should stand for Sports Callers Open Think Tank. Anyway, he went with it, the rest is history.

For some reason he and never interviewed me. Miffed, my BC partner quit the station.

I have the call on a hard drive somewhere but I have about 40 unlabeled hard drives.

The guy on the left was the play-by-play guy for Tuerlings, I was his color guy.

This picture was from 18 years ago today.

I'm forgetting his name, I feel bad about it.

You have always been an idea guy, Turbine.

That is cool that you have all those old drives. I would absolutely pay money for sports radio content from the 90's. Local and National. I used to call BOP's show a lot back in the day. Also, really enjoyed Don's show quite a lot. I did get on the Sports Junkies show one night. Wish I had recorded it!

Times have changed. My whole day was situated around listening to 1420am from 6am to 5pm. Since Kevin, Jay and Stevie P. (and Billy) were let go, it's never really been the same. I did my best to turn in to Scott, but even that was different.

Wish Scott the best of luck. 1420 is now officially dead to me. ......unless a Cajun game is on. I assume that will die away soon also.

Oh, man. I'm with you. What an incredible disappointment. Scott was the last thing keeping me tuning into 1420. I usually listened to the first 30 minutes of his show in the morning and on days where he was talking Cajuns or had on good guests, I'd listen to the rest of the show later on Spotify. That was a great touch.

I think a lot of us feared the day when the only station that will potentially cover the Cajuns is also the "home for the LSU tigers..." Jesus.

Ragin Review, Roarman, We're Talkin - the pressure is on We need you guys more than ever.

The only one left is Bandit on Sunday morning.

I suspect that any future arrangements for broadcasting Cajuns games will be streaming only. The days of terrestrial radio are numbered.

For the most part I enjoyed Scott's show, especially when Jay, Gerald or certain other guests were on. Now that he is leaving the only time I will probably listen is Billy and Bandit's show. I don't particular care for national programming. Much rather listen to local guys and hear information about Cajuns and local high school sports.

Best of luck to Scott.

This is the way to go. But how the heck does this get marketed to casual fans? Seems UL is allergic to local advertising. And now USL is in a chicken and egg situation…having to spend money to make money.

Good luck Scott, thanks for hanging in there.

Kevin Foote gives lots of coverage to the Cajuns on his 103.7 FM show from 9 to 11. He had Cody Junot on during football season. Mike Murphy and more recently Coach Marlin have been on with him to discuss basketball on either Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Last year he had Craig Melancon to discuss Cajuns baseball during the spring. He also has Gerald Broussard on quite frequently and while the topic is football in general, lots of Cajun football take generally during those sessions. He also analyzes cajun games soon after they have been played. I don't know when the next contract for cajun radio coverage will come up. I do wonder if the 103.7 FM guys will make a play at it. They now have lots of stations under their umbrella.

Thanks, imagine that an actual question with an actual answer.

No, not now that they’re tied to Lake Charles.

Scott came from NOLA. If you ever listened to talk radio there you would know exactly who he copied on that acronym. Garland would say the great callers open think tank on his show the think tank often.

That explains why my idea went over so well ... that is, besides his name being Scott and all.

I wonder if my suggestion didn't come first, because I'm pretty sure it was 18 years ago, 2005 that Scott was given his own show on KPEL. Pre Katrina.

The link says the G-Man Think Tank was after Katrina.
