Toledo also ran gaps D. Enos wasn't great the first time around. Had some good games against Mississippi schools a decade ago who fucking cares

Quote from: razor5396 on Oct 23, 2023, 10:05 PMI dont want ever want to hear Chuck Barrett ever mentioned in the same sentence with the University of Arkansas ever again. From the bottom of my heart, he fucking sucks. I refuse to ever listen to another game that idiot ever calls (basketball or football). He could never lift Eells jock strap. Mike Nail was all right, but my God is Chuck Barrett's voice is the antithesis of play by play basketball.

Nail was great until his voice went from all the cig smoking. He actually did the radio in 2006 during that 10-win season and sounded pretty good.

I can tolerate Chuck's football PBP, but you're right in that his basketball PBP is sorely lacking. Wish they'd let Scott Inman do basketball.

And the football broadcasts are ruined by Quinn and Geno Bell. I get that you want to have former players but they provide almost nothing. Geno sounds like he never passed an English class in his life and Quinn isn't much better.

I can't imagine having to listen to a radio broadcast vs watching the actual game on the TVs.

I was driving to Florida and driving back during both of the last two games so radio was all I had.

Shit man.  Listening to no game would have been better than listening to the last two games. 

Also, our PBP guys would sound a lot better if we didn't suck.   I know it is unpopular but Chuck is not terrible at the sports announcing.

I connect my phone to the car. Pull up the WatchESPN app and listen to the game that way.

This is the way.

Chuck is awful.

I was in the Scott Inman crowd for a long time, and still think he or Phil could be a considerable upgrade.

On the radio front, Phil & Matt Jones is the only local radio program worth listening to, but now that I'm fully remote I'm never in the car at lunch.  Ruscin and Zach would be much better if they just wouldn't talk about sports.  The ancillary shit is usually entertaining.

This is the correct opinion.

That should get him fired right there.  The fix to that is as simple as an ass chewing at halftime in any of our games this year.  We may as well not even have a head coach.  Just have sort of a general manager to take care of off the field stuff, let the coordinators do their thing, and get people to come in every game and give motivational talks.

If only there was, like a "head" coach who could get on the radio and tell the "assistant" coach to "do the thing we did in practice."

But I guess that's asking too much for ole Sam. Better to just roam the sideline with a blank expression and then literally shrug when asked about the gameplan.

Rolling the pocket is not KJ's strength. Stupid idea to begin with.

Art Briles is damn near 70 years old. Hell, is Norm Chow still alive? You people are retarded.

Nothing is, this year. May be the best of no good options.

Agree. Stupid is continuing to throw 5 yard passes on 3rd and 12.

I'm not sure I've seen KJ stare down receivers as much as he did in this one. Even when the line gave him more than 2 seconds, you could tell he was not going through his progressions. He has one option or check down. And he has to be the worst qb to have at the end of a half/game when you need to score. I know you want your qb to be calm in those situations, but damn. He's like a catatonic back there. No urgency whatsoever.

Yeah there's a difference between being "calm under fire" and "apathetic."

KJ definitely exudes the latter.
