Austin sports radio

[Wally Pryor]

I've just started listening to all Dallas sports radio after Erin/Chip go off the air.

Same here. Sucks that we have to listen to Dallas radio, but 104.9 is tortuous in the afternoon.

Didn't realize Cooperstein had a show in the PM. Love that guy.

[updawg]

I'm not a fan of the changes either. Chip and Erin are too much together I liked it better when it was Erin and whoever. Chip and Sean were good in the afternoon but Sean alone is bad.

They are the two best radio hosts it's a waste having them on at the same time.

This change had failed, let's do something else

1300 isn't worth discussing unless you are listening to a game

[hayden_horn]

part of a segment of the sean and ari show i heard yesterday while home with my sick kid made my head damnear explode. caller calls in, talks about some stuff, and sean says "yeah, great call. next caller..."

next caller asks about 4-5 (relatively decent) questions, says he'll hang up and listen.

few seconds of silence.

ari: wow, there was a lot there.

sean: sure was. up next, after the break, is our guest (whothefuckever) from rivals (wherethefuckever)! Let me tell you how my MBA has changed my life..."

no mention of the caller or his comments or questions.

The worst radio voice is Taylor G. She is hot but sounds like an 18 year old sorority chick. Not good for radio, a bit annoying.

she sounds like a 6 year old.

awesome. you should email Erin and let him know what a bad talk show they are running ( ERIN@ESPNAUSTIN.COM ). he's the program director.

$#@!, somebody should email him this whole thread.

I actually enjoy Steven A Smith screaming at me on my way home from work in the morning.

[austintx71]

Yesterday I had the choice between Craig and Rod and a lot of white noise (not racist) and that shaved-headed fat $#@!er talking about what a stud muffin he believes himself to be.

I've never forgiven 1300 for Greg and AJ. That was the day sports radio died for me in Austin. Hell, I even miss Boner.

[updawg]

The fat $#@! Greg Henson single handedly destroyed Austin sports radio

[Wally Pryor]

The station has two personalities worth listening to, Hogan and Brown. Unless the latter requested / had to have a morning gig, I'm sure Hogan will have Brown back on again the afternoon after Jan 1.

As is, Hogan has a station with one program that's worth listening to. Pretty hard for 104.9 to survive in that mode.

[jimmyjazz]

The other day Ketch told Chad he had 3 rules that only applied to his wife and Chad. "Don't talk over you" was one. Another was "don't interrupt you". I forgot the third. Chad about choked on his tongue.

I really can't listen to Ketch for more than 30 seconds. He's that annoying, without even redeeming or endearing qualities. On the upside, I've been able to catch up on NPR and listen to birds chirping, either of which is an upgrade over Ketchum.

yeah. ketchum pretty much spends the ENTIRE show running chad off the road.

Jeff Ward ftw.

[Wally Pryor]

What is Ward drawing at KLBJ, appox? Been there 13 years. Show does well.

150 - 175?

[BearLakeHorn]

I'd say in that ballpark. I heard someone mentioned that when others found out what he made, they were pissed. But he pitched a good value proposition to KLBJ and basically said if I don't get the ratings, don't pay me that much.

[BearLakeHorn]

Listening to Geoff/Chad and Ketchum just told a story about dropping a deuce in HS football practice on accident. Basically a shart but full blown crap.

What the $#@! am I listening to here........

[Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand]

it used to be gk cackling at..well...nothing that annoyed me the most. over time, his gale force pluckers breath sighs into the mic took over. now it's him making sex noises over his idiotic song of the day that are positively creeping me out- "....ooowwwww.......aaahhhhhhh......oh yeah! here it comes!!!...TAKE ME HOME, KAJAGOOGOO!!!"

[BearLakeHorn]

I feel sorry for Hastings. He's teamed up with a guy who is talking about $#@!ting his pants at a HS football practice. Hastings unlike Ketch or Dan Neil, needs this gig. Ketch can fallback to OB solo. Dan Neil has his NFL pension plus made $MMs. Hastings needs this job and does it like a pro. To be honest, Hastings might do the best job of all by having to play with Ketch 5 days a week.

[bentleybrau]

Ketch must have been a really fat $#@! back in the day because the slimmed down version is pretty much a worthless fat slob.

And I really have started enjoying the Jeff Ward show a lot more lately. Quit listening as much because of the incessant weather/traffic breaks, but the traffic girl on KLBJ is more entertaining than anything on either of the sports stations.

No $#@!, why so much damn traffic and news? I need more Jeff talking about dumb women and the stupid $#@! they do.

[erniefromclass]

have y'all touched on how gay the "lifetime longhorn" thing is?

[longhornshane]

she sounds like a 6 year old.

I don't think she wants to be a radio host. TV seems more fitting.

[Kevin O'Shea]

Summary of a day on ESPN 104.9
1pm to 4pm:
Sean Adams: "One of every three black athletes goes broke after retiring." "Be a dad!" "I don't watch comedy movies!" "I work hard and I am a father!"
4pm to 7pm:
Ketch: "You're listening to the drive." "Cover 3 sports bar." "Three things and a song." "Three things I think."
"King of Ping!"
"King of Ping!"
"Wow!"
King of Ping:"akjlfddlkjgldjsakhfdalhksfhldahfads"
Ketch: "Cover 3 sports bar." "Let's save that for tomorrow." "Oh let me listen to and sing over a song to end the show."

I am usually thrilled when the $#@!ing Round Rock AA baseball broadcast comes on.

[Wally Pryor]

That pretty much nails it.

Dear Sean:

You always go out your way to make it a point that you're better than "the typical Black man", its really getting annoying. No one cares how good of a father you are or how you discipline your kids, or how you're always "keynote" speaker somewhere with your Baylor online MBA. Not to be a hater and I wish you success but you brag about yourself every damn show, you always find a way to sneak it in. Your guests and segments are terrible too and you tend to have brain farts every 5 mins. You wanted Ari because he needed someone to piss your butt. Just talk about sports in a non-annoying manner and you'll do OK.

PS, please get rid of that cheesy opening credit "THIS IS THE ADAMS THEORY", it doesn't sound smart, it makes you look like an idiot. Change the name of the show if it doesn't get cancelled.

More power to you "brotha".

and

Ari.

[bozo_casanova]

In between periods of dead air, ari agrees with Sean.

[lonestar3]

Anyone just hear ketch's tirade about how someone called him out for not being an expert and for operating a rumor spreading website?
He then had to go on to brag about how the guy eventually found ketch's book on his bookcase and apologized.
Then he did his jabba laugh for 15 seconds.

I'd rather listen to Rosie Odonnel shove orphaned haitians up her cootch than hear one second of ketch

[Traffic]

on which station?

[SEC Chad]

Ranking the Horn guys, my $.02:

1) Chip Brown - I like his takes, find him amusing

2) E Hogan - radio professional

3) Sean Adams - I can enjoy it, but tends to ramble

4) Chad Hastings - Radio pro, has to deal with Ketch

5) Beau Edge/Dustin McCommas - both seem OK, not great together and the show concept "the nooner" wasn't working. Might improve with Dan Niel.

6) Dan Niel - He is what he is.

7) Ketch - OK when he sticks to football, but intensely unfunny and grating

8) Ari Timkin - doesn't seem to know much about sports, but is opinionated somehow. Also talks over people.

9) James Larson - deep voice, doesn't say much. Should talk more, because his partner is

10) Steve Foster - sounds more like some shmoe calling into local sports radio.

11) Taylor Gaspar - actually could vault into the 5 spot if she didn't play this "I'm just a girl hee hee hee" shtick. Could be good, has a bad job. Honestly, she shouldn't be doing this. Do you think Susie Kolber or Erin Andrews would have ever done her job and put up with that $#@!? I don't. This is how women wash out of sports media.

12) Nils/Chad - So if I call in a bunch, go to all the remotes, and suck up to the hosts, do I eventually get my own gig, or does Nils know somebody?

Ouch. 12th? Really? I guess I am just lucky you ranked me and Nils together and didn't seperate us and put me 13th :)

Calling in and going to remotes won't get you on a show. I usually disagree with the other hosts, sometimes probably to my detriment, and certainly don't suck up to them. And before I joined the weekend show, I had been to two remotes in 10 years living in Austin and one was for LSU vs UT in the world series. I go to some of them now that I am on the air during football season but that's about it.

It is either who you know, the ratings you can bring, or sponsors you can bring to the table. I didn't know anyone at the station before I started the show. They thought I was good enough to put on the air from my calls and I delivered sponsors to the show.

This is just a hobby that, unlike other hobbies, doesn't cost me any money. That being said, I am going to have to step up my game and get out of the basement of those rankings.

I haven't heard your show, but if you're not halfway up that list within 6 months, maybe you should consider another hobby.

Damn, I've been on for about 9-10 months. FML

[hayden_horn]

i have no idea who this chad person is.

[tx 3 putt]

$#@!ing awesome, they gave chad briscoe a radio show !

[skipperj]

Why the $#@! does "SEC" Chad have a show in Austin?

I now remember whey I never listen to the Horn. It sucks.

[skipperj]

$#@!ing awesome, they gave chad briscoe a radio show !

You're a $#@!et and your $#@!'s all retarded.

[SEC Chad]

Not my own show, just a co-host. And not everyone wants to listen to all longhorns all the time.

This typo is not getting enough love. Or was it a typo?

[SEC Chad]

nice catch. that's pretty funny.

[jimmyjazz]

And not everyone wants to listen to all longhorns all the time.

On a station that calls itself "The Horn"?

[SEC Chad]

On a station that calls itself "The Horn"?

I won't try to kid anyone and say we don't talk a lot about the longhorns but we try to talk about sports across the country and also talk local high school sports so that we aren't a show that just sounds like a summary of the weekday shows.

[updawg]

What show are you on?

[Red Five]

$#@! the SEC.

[SEC Chad]

What show are you on?

The Sports Edge - 8-10 Saturday Mornings

[bentleybrau]

Chad> Do you feel that being given the first name "SEC" by your parents forced you to follow filthy cheater football?

[PatrickMcHorn]

haven't listed to 104.9 in for.e.ver. so is this a different Chad from Chad and Kevin on 1300 back in the day?

I only have the opportunity to listen to the radio on the way home and on the way to work, and NPR wins the battle in the morning because I've usually had 1 and 1/2 sportscenters going in the background while getting ready. In the afternoon, 104.9 is a ways down on the list past static and staticy tejano. The last time I listened to 104.9 was conference realignment, and my 40 minute commute home consisted of Ketchum sucking his own $#@! for 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of strip club commercials, followed by Ketchum sucking Chip Brown's $#@! for 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of 3 things I think I think I think I think that sound like they were thought up by the guy at the office that read a headline on cnn and is now an expert in marine biology.
