Bo Bounds: good work on those interviews
- Thread starter mount lefroy

I'm amazed at the Bo support on here lately. When I quit listening to him several years ago he was a pompous arrogant prick that talked about "the lifestyle", Rock Star Zinfandel wines, "sticks" (cigars), mint juleps, who he saw the night before at Shapleys, how great the Red Hot Chili Peppers were years ago, and who can forget that picture of him in the stuffed chair w/ his favorite single malt (or whatever the hell it was) starched jeans and smug look on his face. Did the leopard change spots?
He is catering to his sponsors with that sometimes absurd schtic...at least I hope so. When dak showed bo what msu could be, bo came back to the fold. Honestly, he is one of a few select "personalities" that call the bears on their ********. I was about to turn the page (dial) on him a couple of years ago because he seemed to be an apologetic ***** for all things om, but he freaking hammers them like no other when they get out of line, since maybe two or three years ago. He is kind of a tool, but I'm fairly confident that is a persona for sponsor support. He is a friend of msu, but he needed a reason to commit and dak game him that reason.
My opinion - Bo Bounds Show
I do tire of his endless lifestyle horseshit conversation, but I also cut him a lot of slack because he was the first & possibly only member of the media to call out damned near our entire Athletic Department leadership (LT, Crooms, Polk2) for being totally incompetent backwards *** 17ers in 2004-2006.
I generally listen to his show on the way to work every morning until the first Morgan & Morgan ad airs, then I turn off the radio & listen to BSR or a Clay Travis podcast. OOB cannot go more than 10-15 minutes without a Morgan & Morgan ad though, so I don't listen long.
Bo is definitely one of us. He actually does a really good job speaking to a group. He was the guest at The 120 Club in 2005 or 2006 and I was impressed.

He's really toned a lot of that stuff down, and he is all in with Steve Robertson and the case against Ole Miss. His producers pretty much let him say whatever he wants, which is a big change from Head to Head and the like. I like his interviews except for Mike Detillier. I'm not sure what that guy's expertise is, maybe the Saints or LSU or something.
I don't know what planet you're from but Mike D is easily his best guest and has been for years. LSU, Saints, and tons of great football stories and sayings. I'd put Dave Bartoo 2nd. Interesting guys with original thought unlike your Sallees and Aschoffs of the world.
I like listening to Detillier too and think Bo has toned it down over the last couple of years with the lifestyle stuff. I also think Jackson's enunciation has gotten better as well. Guy used to sound like he had a mouthful of marbles....Overall, it's a good show.
BB is a complete douche, reports yerterday's news and the morgan and morgan commercials have to go. And his take on MSU baseball is completely useless. Those who can't do teach, those who can't teach have radio shows to talk about the teachers (coaches). I pretty much take anything he says and go the opposite way when betting.
I'm slightly retarded, (so bear with me)... can't remember which, but the one that doesn't do mpb (not sure if jake or jay...too much illiteration 4 me....is, easily confused), but that other mother 17er literally speaks so awkwardly I feel compelled to change the channel during my 5:15 drive through Jackson. I would rather stab toothpicks through my urethra than listen to that buttplug for two minutes waiting on my turn light...seriously.....
Matt has used H to H well as for as gaining name recognition but there are more and more people realizing that the media group that owns it is all about OM and the show is anything but objective. I wish he could make at least a lateral move out of off there and take the next step upward in his career . I personally think he is about topped out where he`s at and nowhere to go but down.
I don't live in Mississippi and don't care about LSU, the Saints, the bayou, Orgeron, or Cajun stuff in general, so I'm not a fan. I skip his interviews on the podcast. To each his own I suppose.
I do like Dave Bartoo and Dan Wolken, however. Both good interviews.

That's what an intro used to sound like.

Jake is sitting in for Bo this morning and mentioned your post.
He said he would be glad to buy you a box of tooth picks.
Not making this up.
When Bo is on the show..... which seems to be less and less ....I basically enjoy it. The Yall Lifestyle is interesting but is becoming over done. A bit elitist to me but I suppose that is the point!
Bo does a pretty good interview but takes more vacation days than Johnny Carson before he retired. In my opinion that is killing his show and the brand he created.
For the younger crowd..... imagine Jimmy Fallon missing Wednesday- Friday for weeks at a time with a series of celebrity guest hosts.

Bo is a good dude, and personally, I think he has a great future in radio. All MSU fans, and Mississippians really, should support him.
That was another thing that chapped my *** when I listened. He would take off and they would replay interviews he had just done and i had heard within the last week. Maybe I'll try streaming him again. And oh yeah, that little smacking sound sound he makes before he says something. If you ever start hearing that, it will drive you insane because he does it all the time. Maybe I shouldn't start listening again...
