Wish we would just cut the BS

[forestdepth]

All the MSU podcasts out there and I just wish they would get the band back together. HD&BW are like peanut butter and jelly; better together.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

It would be great, but I don’t think SuperTalk would ever go for that.

 

[Arthur2478]

Disagree. Brian and Brandon are the best 2, therefore I like having them separate so I get 2 podcasts worth listening to instead of just one.
Also, I think Joel T Coleman is doing an outstanding job as well. The SkyDawgs are the most underrated of the MSU podcasts, as was Coach & Bolt before one of them passed away. RIP.

Walker is about to get his own gig on the radio in Tupelo. Stay tuned to 95.1. He and Wyatt sharing space (but not sure on airtime).

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

hopefully he keeps the podcast rolling.

 

[fishwater99]

I like me some Matt Wyatt...

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

As mentioned in a thread the other day, Wyatt is coming into his own. Enjoy his radio show and his film study & game day videos.

 

[HumpDawgy]

My wish is for Brandon to have an "R" rated version of his podcast with a side of heavy cussin'. He is better when he gets rollin' with rage. Of course that will not likely happen with his small kids running around him.

My ears just cannot take listening to Coleman. I've tuned in 3 or 4 times but just cannot take it. The stuttering, the extra syllables added to single syllable words, the twang... I find it to be torture. The content is good. The delivery is not. I do love Shrek's show and I'm enjoying Wyatt. Rosebowl is the only thing I'll listen to anymore on BSR.

He's going to dj the gospel station on 95.1?

 

[shotgunDawg]

I like them separate because it allows for more MSU radio time-slots & podcasts, which increased the overall profile of MSU sports on the radio

Anyone familiar with Maxx Howell? Older gentleman who has been an assistant coach at Ole Miss, Florida State, Troy, a couple other places. He lives in or around Tupelo. He has a new radio station coming out if its not already out. It's an ESPN station i believe. Dude has a killer radio voice. Apparently Matt will also frequent the show.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Switch Dick Cross out with Chris Brooks and H2H would be the best show on radio.

 

[Beckerdawg]

Yeah, Coach Howell does have a great voice. A couple of months ago he said he was starting a show, I thought in, September. He spoke glowingly of several landsharks, & wasn't all that excited about our roster. I always thought he was pro ole miss & that confirmed it.

That’s unfortunate. I’d have had you on the 5th listen. You’d have fallen in love.

As a refugee State fan, I concur. I like multiple podcasts across different formats & affiliations. As you stated, it provides me with differing times. More importantly, though, it allows for sundry viewpoints. If they were all under the same umbrella it would become stale.

Coach66 often refers to this era of State sports as the Golden Age. He's way more connected than I, but I'll borrow his sentiment:

This board & the podcasts have become invaluable to me.

Hadad is great. He’s my favorite. Joel T is good with him. I like Joel a lot. Anybody but Bob. Bob lasted about 2 years too long on the show. It was horrible near the end. It was incredibly sad grown men were tweeting in to ask a guy questions on ABC that couldn’t or wouldn’t say anything of any substance. Matt Wyatt is fantastic and the most knowledgeable but he’s going for more coverage than MSU which is fine and probably smart for his future. I’m just not gonna listen to him talk about the Rebs, the Tide, etc. Walker is good most days and makes me laugh occasionally. I like him but some days he runs 3rd because he likes to get in his feelings. Kinda thin skinned and He also thinks he’s funnier than what he is.

Rosebowl is good for a show every now and then when he talks about recruiting or the team. However, he likes to preach to the fanbase too much about things. He’ll also try to make you feel good about bad situations when their is reason for concern and he likes to circle talk. For example, Go back and listen to his shows at the end of 2016. He wanted to keep Sirmon for the sake of continuity. Then one day he said you knew Sirmon was gone at the end of the year Blah blah blah. Apparently you didn’t sir but it’s fine. You gotta take what he says with a grain of salt sometimes. I’m also not taking life advice from him. Justin Strawn is nails on a chalkboard. I’ve given his show about 100 mercy clicks on accident bc BSR pulls it up automatically. The Sky Dawgs is good for depth purposes on long rides. I don’t mind listening to them. I like Jake Wim when he does shows.

I liked Coach and Bolt when they did shows. Ian had talent and was going to be good. Hated to hear of his passing. RIP man.

 

[Brandon Walker.sixpack]

Well...

Just wrote an entire posting firing back at you for saying I get all up in my feelings and then deleted it because it proved you were right.

 

[HumpDawgy]

I prefer Hadad doing solo shows. He has a talent to talk directly to the listening audience and not be boring. I don't think he needs anyone else to co-host. Joel is fine doing a baseball show by himself......and things.

95.1 is the new ESPN Radio out of Tupelo. I used to listen to Max Howell way back in the late 90s when he was with everyone's favorite Rebel Radio fraud Scott McKinney on Southern Sports Tonight. Here's the new station site: https://www.facebook.com/ESPN95.1/

Matt and Walker will have shows on this station, it appears.

On the MSU Podcasts:
Thunder & Lightning: I like the new format. Joel was excited the first few they did and did get tangled up in his words sometimes. But that's calmed down and they've settled in. I do wish there was an "Ask The Show" segment every other week at least, but best to stay away from the Emma Watson Chicken As Big As A Horse questions. Hadad is quite good. Maybe not as funny as he thinks, but funny enough to couple with the info he knows. Hadad isn't afraid to play devil's advocate and isn't going to pump sunshine for anyone...but yearns to be optimistic.
Matt Wyatt: I wish he was all MSU info, but I get why he's broadening his audience. His film breakdown is awesome on YouTube. And if you've not watched his Game Day Vlogs from the last two weekends you're missing out. I wish his whole radio show was up as a podcast, but the podcast only has a few segments from it. He's probably the most pragmatic of them all too.
The Boneyard: This has really great episodes and dud episodes. I get it that they're advertisers, but some of the ads go on for 3 minutes. If I'm driving across town or going on a run or whatever I don't want 1/3 of the 35 minute podcast to be ads. And the guilt trips about "get your family to Dudy Nobel/The Hump/Scott Field and make memories" were ok the first 12 times just like reading the whole Bulldog Burger menu. All that said, Steve often has great insight..especially in recruiting. He knows the players through covering their recruitment. And is a good listen most of the time.
Brandon Walker: Really liked his initial foray into podcasting with Bump. And I'm glad to see he's found a way to stay behind a mic somehow. I'm interested to see if this new gig will be enough to support a family (though his wife is a college teacher too). His schtick is that he hates OM and loves MSU and makes no bones about it. He likes to be off color now and then, but that won't fly on "real radio" for long. But he's definitely entertaining. He's a strange mix of confidence and self deprecation, but it works. And he's got great insight into the program (except for when he MSU basketball was going to be quite good Rick Ray's last year.)
The Others: Honestly I've not listened to the Sky Dogs or Double Coverage or Always Sunny in forever. After the four above I don't know what else I need unless I'm on a road trip or something. I'll admit I occasionally will listen to an OM podcast if there is some drama brewing in their program to see how their spinning it or whatever.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I'll give it a try:

Thunder & Lightning: Hadad is, and has been for a while, the best at this. Extremely knowledgeable, pulls in a great interviews, and really has his finger at the pulse of the general MSU fanbase. In general, a polished radio guy. Joel is a good foil - lighthearted and optimistic, but also a true journalist. Brings extra baseball info that we all appreciate.
Matt Wyatt: Surprisingly smart and insightful guy - his film breakdowns are great. Because he's not all-MSU all the time, not going to be a daily listen for me, but it's high quality stuff from a guy with a huge amount of experience both on the field and behind the mic.
The Boneyard: It can be a comfy blanket of a show. More focused on the team than the opponents. How frequently I listen really hinges on how hot the recruiting process is, as that's always where he shines. Ads can get out of control, but hey, the man's gotta eat, and there's no one I'd rather sell my Starkville area business adds to than this guy. He's a dedicated shill and I can appreciate that.
Brandon Walker: The everyman's everyman. About 1/4 of the show turns into a stand-up routine, and it's usually pretty good. He's best when he has a co-host, producer, guest, etc. to bounce the comedy off of, so I hope we get more of that once he settles in.
Skydogs: The most underrated MSU show. 2 well spoken lifelong MSU fans giving a more broad perspective view of the issues. I've always hoped we'd get a weather condition specific segment on game previews, because with 2 meteorologists, that would be great.
Double Coverage: Wimberly is insufferable.
Always Sunny: *heavy breathing intensifies*
