LMAO I like the editing of my thread title. Spiels was pwning him today on The Big Show. Man I'm sick of hearing about Boise State and how they 'deserve' a shot at the NC game. I was shocked shocked Hooley rallied to this cause. Spielman comparing him to a communist was truly funny stuff.

Was he on during the 02 National Championship, and did he complain about not beating Miami by more?

(if he has a thread already please merge this, I could not find one)

Mentioned earlier, but before Hooley, who joined TheFan permanently in '05, they had Ian Fitzsimmons and Herbie. Herbie and Fitz were GREAT. Ian left in Oct '04 and moved to Salt Lake City, then from there headed home for Alabama, got pulled over for rolling through a stop sign and wound up doing prison time from an outstanding warrant for writing a bad check to a Chinese Restaurant when he lived there back in 1996, and after that moved to Dallas. I read he recently got canned from his job there.

The knock on Fitz was that he had the sense of humor of a 4th grader ... like a kid from South Park. From what I've read online it doesn't sound as if he's been a huge fan favorite at any of his stops since, but I think the Columbus audience really liked him. At least, I never heard many complaints about the afternoon show when he and Herbie showed up everyday like clockwork.

After Ian left, TheFan brought in Damon Bruce. Bruce worked there for two weeks during the height of the MoC-accusation fiasco, did an absolutely brilliant interview with ESPN's Tom Friend, where he ripped Friend up one side and down the other and damn near had Friend crying by the end of the interview, then Damon took off a week of work because he was sick. Apparently, you don't get a week of PTO at 1460 if you've only been there for two weeks, so he got canned.

Ricordati took over the show in the interim with Hooley guesting, then in 2005 Hooley got the gig full time. I listened for about a month, and haven't listened to the station since. I would rather listen to the air blowing out of my car's A/C than listen to Hooley. He is fucking awful. Ricordati is even worse.

I like Hooley. Doesn't mean I agree with everything he says. But the guy really is a Buckeye fan.

The kind of BS one reads on most Buckeye message boards (thank God for BP!) makes anything Hooley might ever say seem very tame. He throws a lot of outrageous comments out there just to stir the pot and get people to call in. That's what people with his job do. At least he's able to complete a grammatically correct sentence occasionally, something Torgerson has never done in his life. It's a good thing "the Torg" never had to take the Ohio school proficiency exams; he'd still be studying for the 4th grade one.

I liked the Herbie and Fitz combo...

But the current lineup is terrible across the board with the lone exception of Spiels. Hooley is so terrible that when Spiels is out the show is unlistenable.
It also doesnt help that all of the shows follow the ESPN radio 10 minutes of talk 5 mins of commercials crap. There is no flow or rythem to any show because they are constantly heading to a commercial break or getting a tease in for the next segment.

As for the common man / the torg, call me a homer but I want to listen to buckeyes talk about buckeye sports...

I guess, since I don't get to hear Hooley, I'll have to take everyone's word for it.

But if you think Ricordati is bad, you should listen to the fucking idiots 980AM in Dayton employs....Mark Schlemer has a little girl crush on Pryor, one week he loves him, another he hates him and the callers out there are, ummmm, yeah, awesome :roll1:

Ricordati isn't going to win any awards or anything, but compared to the crappy stations in Dayton, he's friggin Casey Kasem.

he should consider himself lucky that it is not his crappy show on now. i mean id be more than willing to argue iss and red line rankings... personally i think the ohl looks pretty good and the whl is weaker than normal. though then again some claim that kabanov maybe the best skater. top american so far is fowler (and top dman).

edit-wait unless you meant drafted talent, a la returned players, american or college players?
