Head to Head has become unlistenable

[bulldognation]

Even when discussing the MSU-LSU matchup, Dick still finds a way to wedge Ole Miss into the conversation.

I listened one time since Matt left...and TBH didn’t listen to it much before that.

 

[Brandon Walker.sixpack]

They have someone on payroll that could make that show a great listen

But they insist on using him one segment per show most days. It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

He doesn't like me saying it, but it's the truth.

 

[bulldognation]

Brandon, you should go on opposite Dick. Listeners would skyrocket and advertising revenue would follow suit. They don’t know how much of a goldmine that would be.

 

[biguglyjoe]

I haven’t listened since Matt left, and couldn’t force myself to listen regularly prior to that.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

I listen for the hour that Hadad is on. Brian is always good and provides good points whether it’s good or bad about the team. But no matter how many good things Brian says, cross is always trying to pull negatives. He keeps insisting we can’t be good just running the ball no matter how many times brian points out we won 9 games last year just running the ball. Always going to support HD6, but when he’s not on its like a circle jerk at a country club

 

[Brandon Walker.sixpack]

Thanks but they've got a good State guy

They just won't get their Ole Miss heads out of their asses long enough to use him.

 

[Dawgbite]

Hadad does a good job and needs equal time. Borkey is really good and he and Hadad would be an excellent show. Cross is a condescending prick without Matt to step on his toes. Rodney Allen Rippy is unlistenable , he needs to go back to Hollywood Squares.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I assume Hadad makes full time salary, really, what is the point of paying him that and not using him? Especially if it makes the product better.

Hell, HD6 is prolly wanting us to shut up, easy money for him right now.

It's really strange how the two people who actually know sports (Hadad and Borkey) have to take a back seat to a guy who only knows how to pimp Ole Miss.

 

[Pars]

I’ve tried multiple times this season. Can’t do it. Cross needs to focus on something else. He’s a good commentator but objective sports talk ain’t it for him

 

[StillTbonewannabe]

Oddly enough I think Cross is pretty good when he calls basketball games. I can't stand him on H2H though.

 

[RocketDawg]

Never heard him on Head to Head, but yes, he does basketball well and seems pretty unbiased to me. He has a good broadcaster voice.

 

[pDigital32Dawg]

I’m in agreement with the board here. I would never know hadad was a part of the show just by tuning in after work. I only ever hear borkey, cross, and the other Brian. I gave the show another shot since Matt’s departure but it’s pretty tough with Richard being the lead.

 

[dawgatUSM]

I agree. I tried to listen today. I think it was Bjork he had on... but they were almost begging and pleading for the ncaa to remove the 2nd year bowl ban. When hadad is on, it’s good radio.

No no. Head to Head went to **** when they left for superTalk. It was one more way for OM to control the narrative. Cross was getting his *** whopped on espn. I still remeber the day Dean Marvins shut him the 17 up about us playing for championships the year we played the Liberty Bowl.

 

[Mjoelner]

Rodney Allen Rippy is unlistenable , he needs to go back to Hollywood Squares.

That dude sounds like Jughead from the old Archie cartoon from back in the 70's.

 

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Amazing how Borkey has begun to sound like Richard. Borkey is just a young guy trying to do well, but adapting the same voice stylings as Richard makes him sound like a unoriginal kid.

Same cadence and pronunciations of words...it's embarrassing for him. Is Borkey a Ole Miss grad?

Yes, Borkey is an Ole Miss Grad but he is from South Carolina. He doesn't come across as a homer to me. He is very knowledgeable and I enjoy listening to him, he knows what he is talking about and doesn't have an agenda to try and twist everything in OM favor like Dick does. What gets me is at every commercial break Dick always says the Hadad will be in the next segment to try and keep the State listeners tuned in. The next segment is all about soccer and at the commercial break he announces Hadad will be in the next segment.

 

[jb1020]

I was about to make the same post about Bo Bounds

he's always been arrogant, but he's really ratcheted it up a bazillion notches the past few weeks.

Whats the alternative here in Jackson?

 

[JoMo MoJo]

There is nothing till noon when Chris Brooks comes on. I had to go to satellite and get ESPNU Channel 84 on XM. I couldn’t do Bounds anymore. It turned into a Grooooooooooovah love fest every 17’ing day.

 

[jb1020]

He's just awful now

Just this morning he declares he's known all along UGA was gonna take a step back this year and that MSU was waaaay over rated. He's known this stuff since February.

Chris Brooks really is the best show in the Jackson area. no sarcastrics

 

[WutheringDawg]

Yeah, I have never been a huge fan because when Matt was on there the dynamics were just embarrassing. I know that Matt understands the game in ways that Cross will never be able to imagine, but when you put an ex-quarterback in the booth with a journalist/reporter it just isn't a good listen. Matt would stumble over every other word so that even when he had the better argument, or wanted to deliver a nice teed up jab at Ole Miss, it never felt effective. And on the other hand, Cross can sit there and take a game where the Rebels are trailing Southern Illinois at the half and turn it into the biggest positive in the world for the program.

Bo jumped the shark during the time right before OM's penalties were announced.

 

[triton28]

Brian and Borkey would make the show actually listenable

 

[CougarArcher]

Its not even called Head2Head anymore, its called SportsTalk, If figure that is there way of being able to make it a majority Ole Piss show while throwing in a little MSU and USM in the mix. I figure when Matt left, they saw that it was finally their time to take to the level they wanted too without hurting a broadcasters feelings.

 

[bulldognation]

A Ben Garrett - Steve Robertson show would be hilarious.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

You get a show with Rob Jay, Chris Brooks and Brandon Walker and it would knock everything else out of the market. I’ve always thought the world of Rob Jay. He has to be the hardest working man in Mississippi college sports.

Who still listens to radio? Do you send text messages by carrier pigeon too?**

 

[The Peeper]

I couldn't listen when Matt was on there because of Dick, no way I could listen now. Sirius is the best thing over the air, always something to listen to.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

I thought head to head was the game Yancy liked to play after a night of cough syrup and zanex.**

You don't like Wyatt's show from 10-12?

Chris Brooks is decent.

I was actually saying this to a buddy the other day. Matt and Chris would make a good combination of talking sports/nonsense. Also though both enjoy High school football and could provide some OM/State banter that would be fun. Other than his show the Matt Wyatt show is very good. No tries way too hard to not be a state fan even though he is and so he just talks negative about us most of the time.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Hadad is EASILY the best part of that show and it’s not even close.

Half the time Cross isn’t even listening. Brian is dropping references like gold and Richard just whiffs.

Just think of possibly the most obnoxious UM entitled prick.

I became disenfranchised with Wyatt back when he was on H2H. He was way too submissive.

 

[Dawgbite]

I think Matt has always had his sights on bigger and better things than a petty state rivalry and tried to be as objective as he could be and tried to build his resume as such. It was a big contrast to Dick's homerism. Matt' just a genuinely nice guy, he couldn't play the Prick even if he wanted to.
