From what I gather, Dave is going to go in and do what he did at Delta. And that's run the show. People forget, when Dave took the reigns at 103.7, they had no market share here. He ended up beating 1420 in ratings at least once that I know of and had Delta in serious consideration for getting the UL contract. Ultimately it was an assets game and Delta didn't have the power, but to me, that makes it all the more impressive. With this amount of support, who knows what he can do.
I'm just happy we'll have a guy in there asking questions and listening to the people. Never forget, Farmer indirectly had Dave suspended for asking questions about the Tigue funding debacle. He had my respect before then, but the cemented it. Dave was and hopefully will be again, a disrupter in this WAY too cozy media market.
Competition is always a good thing. Having someone local to go against the 103.7 FM afternoon guys may cause both products to improve. The current 1420 morning guys are not qualified to do the appropriate interviews with our players and coaches. I used to make a point to listen to Scott Prather's 7 AM interviews with the in season coaches and miss those interviews. Note Kevin Foote on 103.7 FM starts his 9 AM shows on Monday these days by interviewing Coach Deggs. Dave is qualified to perform those interviews and hopefully that becomes a staple of his shows. In season, the 3 PM slot may make it tough to do so as that is practice time. However, he could pre record some of those interviews. If he has the AD on or any RCAF guys on, 3 PM should be no problem. Hopefully, a regular segment with the AD is part of his show. Every week may be too frequent but bi-weekly should work.
Is Dave on RP? Maybe he has tried to log in but cannot due to the security question issue? He could answer lots of questions.
Love having Schultzy back. I liked having that outsiders perspective and takes.
Welcome back Dave! Spoke with him for the basketball tournament very briefly and he kinda hinted at this. I’m glad we are finally getting some guys who give a ____ about UL athletics back representing on local sports talk radio. It’s been far too long.
