BEV

[Cajunjeb]

When the Cajun's are down John Moon will talk about anything to avoid having to try and defend that bunch on Reinhardt. He has been avoiding that subject like the plague.

I reached out to him a few weeks ago asking him to give me an answer to a basic question about % of fault he saw the coaching staff should own for the current state of football. He didn't answer my question because he doesn't like to blame and that one day, he will discuss his view of Cajuns fans.

I expected that answer. Why, because they are the flagship. He will not knock anything the Cajuns are doing because of the relationship he and the radio station has to UL. It's political.

i still like the station; the only thing i can't listen to is oh, brother. should pipe that in, on a loop, to the death-row cells.

I worked for the last AM station to ever hit overall#1 in Lafayette.

It was short lived and an anomaly.

In today's world for an FM station to come in behind an inaccessible AM station, tells me the FM station is struggling mightily.

Since I moved to Houston and started listening to "real" sports talk radio I cannot stomach the unprofessional hosts that are on 1420.

It is absolutely amazing that someone who has any stake in KPEL as a business can listen to a segment on 1420 and not immediately make a change. The talking points that Moon Head brings up is comical (not in a good way) and his "I told you so" elitist attitude makes him sound like a total jack ___.

I understand Houston is a much larger market than Lafayette. However, 103.7 has proven that it is possible to produce a radio show that sounds professional in Lafayette.

I have looked for a list of 1420's sponsors but haven't had any luck. If anyone knows where I can find it please let me know. I plan to politely inform those sponsors that because they support a radio station who employs a talk show host that constantly insults the local University's fanbase I will not be patronizing them.

Maybe losing a few sponsors due to Mooney Walker will get the attention of KPEL management. As I am typing this I know the management or owners of KPEL could not care less about what the station broadcasts. As I said above, anyone who listen to even one segmemt of BEV instantly understands that the host is an arrogant ___ clown who knows very little about sports. The amount of air time that is wasted by annoying fillers on that show is unforgivable. The only thing more annoying than TTT is the Hellllloooooooooooooo Everybody that the host yells into the mic to open up the 4 o'clock show.

How can no oneclose to these guys, even a family member, tell them that these antics are absolutely horrible? Their families should be ashamed that they allow their loved ones to continue this type of crap on live radio without trying to tell them how stupid it makes them sound.

I like Scott. The dude is as genuine as it comes, and when I say he'd give you the shirt off his back if you're in need, I'm not just repeating some overused character line.

That said, I cringe every time he does that. When I used to live in Acadiana and listed to his show, I kept hoping that was just a temporary thing.

I know radio every day is tough. I know these personalities try to find a shtic to make the stand out amongst everyone else. But that intro is bad.

Look at the successful guys, even on a regional/local level. Walton & Johnson on the Gulf Coast. They have a shtic, but it isn't some annoying intro. You mention Houston radio. I enjoy "The Blitz" with Fred and AJ. They don't need that corny intro.

Scott's strength is his NOLA sports connections. He doesn't need some annoying intro. It only takes away from what he is able to bring.

I listen to the "The Blitz" every day on my drive home from work. This is the only time I ever listen to radio. They cover the local sports well but also talk national buzz and enjoy their takes on betting, MMA and beer recommendations.

Here is what I think is kind of funny about this and other threads about Jay Walker BEV. You guys think calling him John Moon is funny or some kind of insult.

Well.. since that is his real (non-radio) name, I doubt you are getting much of a rise out of him on that one. Just saying...

I have not listened to BEV in years because I do not live in Lafayette anymore but I think to some extent Jay has to keep the UL administration happy rather than being totally objective.

Having said that, I do think Jay made kind of an ___ of himself when he stopped posting on RP. His departing remarks were kind of out there. Maybe he should not have been posting here in the first place, considering his relationship with the administration. He will not rock the boat.

The greatest radio program to ever play in Lafayette was Don and Mike on the old 1330.

I still listen to their archived shows, usually while at work. Radio genius.

[Ragin4U]

I switch back and forth between 1420 and 103.7. They both have strengths and weaknesses. I dont mind Jay at all and really like Scott. Someone mentioned the Friday am brothers. That ---- is just terrible! All TTT is just unlistenable crap that wastes my time. I turn it off immediately.
