97.1 The Fan (official thread)

[VBSJ]

Yeesh, I don't listen, but a co-worker said Torg is out at the start of this week too. That leads me to believe he's going to be let go, because a two-week suspension seems a bit much (if you're not firing him).

Seems like Herbie must still have some pull at that station...for some reason. He doesn't even work there (he's on an ISDN for an hour in the Fall).

As I take a quick glance at the members list sorted by reputation, BB73 isn't saying it, Bucky Katt isn't saying it, osugrad21 isn't saying it, jwinslow isn't saying it, BUCKYLE isn't saying it, Deety isn't saying it, BKB isn't saying it, NFBuck isn't saying it, jlb1705 isn't saying it, MililaniBuckeye isn't saying it, Jaxbuck isn't saying it, BusNative isn't saying it, Muck isn't saying it, LordJeffBuck isn't saying it, DBB isn't saying it, AKAK isn't saying it, wadc45 isn't saying it, and so on.

I resent the living shit out of being included with that list of intelligent, reasonable posters. (BKB being another exception.)

I love Paul Keels, as an announcer only. We are truly spoiled. Go listen to Westwood one, espn's play by play guys. They are a solid 4-5 seconds behind the action let alone the local college guys for MSU, Michigan, etc. his true genius is basketball season. I have never heard an announcer who can legitimately keep up with basketball action tell you everything that's actually happening. S

I absolutely agree with this.

Yeah, I wanted CM and Torg gone a long time ago, but not like this; not at Herbie's behest.

When can we formally disown Kirk Herbstreit?

Good.

Common Man and the Cowboy would be a much better show. Krenzel is great on 97.1.

Not that I think Common Man is brilliant radio, but it has been much better with Krenzel in lately. I think Torg is much worse than Ricordati.

[bassbuckeye07]

Torg out according to 97.1's twitter feed...I would post the link but at work

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Well, it was inevitable. I doubt many will miss him.

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

Good. Now can we stop bumping this stupid thread, pl0x?

 

[OH10]

The decision to fire him for that tweet is about as stupid as the show was.

 

[Coqui]

So now it's Common man and the Cowboy?

no kidding. I was no fan of the show but 97.1 is a fucking joke as they once again let frosted tips call shots because someone from espin got their feelings hurt...fuck you herbie...fake buckeye
