  1. MM is better and seems more comfortable when he's running the show like today. I don't like playing armchair station PD but if these were the budget pieces that the station/Cumulus was forced to use for the midday makeover (MM, Bass, Mino) then I'd have kept the 10-12 and 12-3 timeslots the same. They could have made MM the new Norm to host 10-12 by himself and then have a fun 12-3 show with Donny/Bass/Mino and Monty producing. MM is already used to doing a show by himself in Birmingham and this would have allowed the station to introduce and promote him to the Ticket audience as an individual personality instead of forcing a new pairing.
  2. Good career for Ty. When they went from 3 ticker anchors to just 2, that's when I'd have left. It's one thing to work a low-paying job if it's just a few hours a day but from 12-7, you might as well get a regular job or do something else worth your time.
  3. Norvell is bad. I went from being impressed with how he had his team looking in the 1st half to completely doing a 180 in the 2nd half. There's a reason why he'll probably never be anything more than a below-average G5 coach. Colorado still has a lot of flaws and holes on their roster from the previous regime. Weak in the trenches on both sides of the ball and they have no running game. If they struggled tonight vs. a bad CSU team, I wouldn't expect them to do much against the Pac-12 heavyweights or even middleweights. But the 3-0 start gave them a good chance to get bowl-eligible so I can see them getting 3-4 more wins in conference play.
  4. Ref wanted to get inside to some AC as soon as possible...I respect it
  5. I just want someone, anyone (new midday host or weekender) to step up and embrace being a trusted sports personality to continue to give the station some sports credibility. With Norm gone, it's pretty much just Bob now. Jake was also starting to trend towards that category but now, everyone else is just "the guy in the next cubicle over" with generic takes and analysis
  6. Auburn looks good so far...at least we're still the unofficial #KickerU
  7. Beating up on JT Daniels is becoming a yearly tradition for Texas...doesn't matter what team he's on
  8. Love seeing that Kendal Briles fail! What a choke job on the final drive as soon as they crossed the 50. You could see how they predictably thought they should just run to burn clock/Colorado timeouts and it cost them. Move the chains and worry about managing the clock once you get inside the 20.
  9. Hahaha yeah I've decided that Ticket Reddit is worse than any sports team's discussion board/forum. At least fans may have played the sport at one point in their life and there are so many resources to review games, film, etc. Not sure how many people bitching about the station/Cumulus actually know anything about the state of the industry and the business. Yes, Cumulus sounds like a shitty corporation. I'm not defending them but it is what it is. Welcome to the corporate world, especially radio in 2023 where it's an ongoing struggle. Hell, even major media networks like ESPN are feeling the dollar crunch and have had to lay off a lot of their talent. If you're a successful AM/PM drive host in a top market then you're probably doing good because that's where the money is made in advertising and audience. But if you're a producer/board op/etc. then the pay just won't be there for those roles. There's nothing that local management like Catlin can do about that because it's an industry-wide standard. Some companies might slightly pay more but in the end you'd still be better off financially working a full-time office/professional-type job. The fact that people are even complaining about a lack of a "bench" or "farm system" for a radio station is hilarious
  10. Ticket Reddit is a cesspool and My Ticket Confession is now nonstop D&J/Cumulus litigation talk so I'm out on both 🤢
  11. 1st segment from Sean and Mino already so much better than Donovan and MM. I can see this being really good, especially once Monty joins. In fairness to Donny and MM though, it's really weird for MM to go from a show in Birmingham on Friday to a new station/show on Monday (at a remote in California at that).
  12. Yeah Sirois blew it and it sucks because he would have been great as a full-time host and interacting with the others on trips, Campounds, etc.
  13. It's really the only move they could have made. Optics would have been so bad, especially in the coaching community, to not give him the job after the tournament runs. If he doesn't pan out in 2-3 years then so be it, we can just start over and find the long-term solution. The candidate pool is kinda weak right now overall as we're in a transition phase of college basketball. A lot of the old legends are leaving the game and new up-and-comers are still trying to prove themselves with results.
  14. Just too bad...he was ready to put them on his back for a championship run. We needed him to punish Miami's small lineup. If Cunningham was giving Miami problems then Disu would have dominated
  15. Terry gets the job as a placeholder for a few years but then will get the ax. Chris Beard has a few decent seasons at Ole Miss, behaves off the court and will be back
  16. What a choke...we had this in the bag. Not only this game but the championship...we would have beaten UConn with Disu too.
  17. They shouldn't even acknowledge TCU in the postgame ceremony for the obligatory congratulating of the losing team
  18. Just a complete mismatch in coaching. It looks like these TCU coaches are playing checkers vs. chess. Their coordinators from Tulsa and SMU thought this was still the AAC
  19. 3-3-5 defense is no match for Georgia and they know it
  20. Derius Davis is a liability in every TCU game I watch...probably won't be the last mistake he makes tonight
  21. Oklahoma State might be done. Is there anyone left on offense? QB, RB, and all their WRs are transferring lol. I think Gundy is disappointed that no team has hired him away at this point. He doesn't seem like a good fit for the Transfer Portal/NIL Era
  22. Who is the "Sark" of CBB available out there? 🤔
  23. Spencer Sanders can still be eligible for one more year...yikes
  24. Kansas is done - they know their coach is about to take the Nebraska or Wisconsin job. Run up the score in the 2nd half...I need to see 70+ dropped on em
  25. Looked terrible at OK State in the wind and now looked terrible in the "cold" weather...he might have to hit that transfer portal to a Pac 12 school where the weather is always nice
