KUT/X and Sun radio are the only stations worth a shit.

Pretty much.

I hardly ever tune into KGSR/ACL Radio anymore as both KUTX and Sun Radio are far superior, but this is still sad to hear.

The horn is gone.

 

The dynamic bw E Hogan and his new sidekick is horrible. Hogan talks the whole the time and the other guy just interjects every 15 or 20 seconds and repeats one or two words Hogan just said.  It reminds me of something I've seen in a movie but I can't put my finger on it.  It's unlistenable.  Are there any podcasts or streams that talk Texas sports?  Is Babers going to go anywhere?  I think he is really good.  

E Hogan is overrated. People just thought he was decent because Bucky Godbolt shared a show with him for so long. 

Never liked Hogan. He came off as an asshole or arrogant, or often both.

Agree that Godbolt came across much more genuine and down to earth and enjoyable. Even if he was pretty goofy at times.

I used to drive all over for work and the Horn had maybe a few listenable moments back then, but that was many years ago.

The one young guy who was still a student at UT was also entertaining and had a decent radio persona.  Can't remember his name but he moved on a couple years back, and looks to have done so at the right time.

Its been years since I listened to any Austin sports radio, but when I did it was usually Bucky and Erin. Erin was OK when discussing sports, but the problem is they all too frequently ventured off onto popular culture tangents or updates on their own personal lives. If you go that route, you better be entertaining and Erin is boring as fuck and the next funny thing he says will be his first.

BK (Brad Kellner). He was awesome.

Check out the On Texas Football podcasts and YouTube streams. Rod has been doing the daily (afternoon) “Longhorn Livestream” and then does one or two others a week it seems like.

Considering that you couldn’t get that signal most of the time, it was gone a long time ago.

Met and spent a good bit of time talking with him at a wedding weekend two years ago.  Incredibly nice guy.

Ha. I know the Lone Star guys. Runnnnn. 

On Austin sports radio, when I moved back to Austin I tried to listen to the various shows but they were all so bad as compared to The Ticket in Dallas I couldn’t take them. I can’t even keep any of the broadcasters straight except for Babers. Anyway, Austin Sports radio sucks and that’s a shame. It shouldn’t.

How much time did he spend on telling you what was coming up?
He spent a lot of time on that at the Zone.

Hit ESPN on the way home now and Jeff Ward spent the entire segment talking about a school volunteer who got let go because a busybody mom found the volunteer's OnlyFans.

Motherfucker thinks he's still on 590AM.

BK and Bucky Godbolt have a morning show every weekday from 8-10 AM on the Texas Sports Unfiltered app. They have other shows throughout the day as well. https://texassportsunfiltered.com

The unfiltered part adds some entertainment value for me. Bucky has some pretty funny stories that probably he wouldn't have been able to tell on terrestrial radio.

Ward has been bad for a long time. Rest of the crowd can't hold a candle to his greatness and tiresome spiels about how fly fishing is the end-all, end-all. Spends an inordinate amount of time railing on the looks of others as an insecure old man now must be pushing 65. Still insists on playing crappy AC / DC for his bumper music without the awareness that it's really not making him look that cool. And on.

Used to be a good listen back in the day. Just a beating now.

I'd be surprised if he's 60.  He was kicking for UT when I was in grad school, and he was drafted in 87.

Interestingly enough, so did my pledge brother Charlie Hodge, who’s one of the funniest people on the planet. 

Randomly partied with him and a bachelor party group he was with July Fourth weekend in South Padre around 2003ish.  He was super nice and pretty chill actually compared to others in the group.  Or he just wasn’t coked out of his mind like a few of the others were.

I thought his senior year was the year of the Georgia Cotton Bowl. 83-84.

He kicked the tieing FG against OU in 84

If he was presumably 22 when drafted in 1987, then he's at least 59.

He also missed 2 FGs against Georgia in a one-point loss.

People always shit on Curry. There was plenty of blame to go around.

Well it’s a good thing we got that out of our system in the 80s and don’t have to worry about missing multiple FGs to lose to Georgia anymore.

I'll throw 102.7 on sometimes if I'm just wanting a little mindless background noise or don't feel like finding a podcast to dial up.

Who in the fuck is listening to a Trey Elling solo show? I'd rather chop my balls off.

I actually enjoy his guests and interviews with comedians.  He gets great guests. Somehow.  But I hate his smug ass voice, and smartest libertarian in the room shtick to do that very often. And as a petty asshole , i kinda get a laugh that half of his shows don't air because of some live sporting event the network broadcast during his time slot.

He is the absolute worst.  I'd rather listen to Geoff Ketchum.

The Foster and Mike Hardage show would be your definition of radio hell.

Damn that would be

Since returning to the often somewhat I’ve been listening to Jeff and Ed on the way home it’s ok but it’s probably mostly nostalgia so will see how it goes. E in the morning is the same.

No idea how Trey gets such good guests but he always has. Every other description of him is accurate
