Agreed. Way too much to talk about. Too much work to get interviews and go in depth with analysis I suppose

hookers and blow. That, imo, is just as bad for a man's spirit as gambling and probably not as addictive.

Way too many adds. It is probably 25 min of adds. Not only do you have the regular commercials but they spend a few min at the beginning of each segment doing advertising. Even throw an add in at the end.

Brian is the kind of guy that would get the heel treatment here. He gives his opinion, good or bad. Folks on here can’t handle someone like him.
I can tell you, he speaks like Clemson fans you speak with in person. No one I know acts like the cult members on Tigernet.

I have met MANY cult Clemson fans in person. Those blue blood blind cheerleaders. They gave me the fifth degree for being part of the fire Ken Hatfield booster movement. I also encountered some in the fire Bowden campaign. It’s a real phenomenon

Usually those folks have room temperature IQs. It’s very frustrating on here. I really haven’t met hardly anyone like the cult on here. But I think the points and pulse system has created a hive mind mentality.

The ads are truly out of control

Commercials every 15 minutes, ad reads at the start and at the end of each segment. It leaves for like 5-8 minutes of actual sports talk before the next break. That is assuming they don’t go on a tangent, which happens almost every segment as well.

Once the commercials are over and then the personal read ads, it's mostly nonsense about anything but Clemson or college sports.

It has certainly not become unbearable as it was unbearable from the jump. Mostly commercials with 10 minutes of dialogue to present 20 seconds worth of info which was known on this board the week prior

Agree. Way too much talk about picks, under/over and my gracious underdogs. Don’t tune in to hear all about hosts’ winning. Not sure how much prep is going on - and we are in height of football season and we are winning. Grateful for all the money earned for breast cancer - so any other air time should be talking sports.

Does anyone ever call other than the handful of the same people that call EVERY show EVERY day? I ws in a store one time with a Clemson tee on a ran across this cashier that asked me if I ever listen to WCCP and I said occasionally. He then proceeded to tell me that he was "so and so" caller on the station like he was some radio personality. Some of those people call so much that I hope they are getting a check.

You can skip all the adds and other things this way. You can even skip the NFL talk and only listen to CFB. I’ve been listening to the 9-12 crew this way. Faxon’s great to listen to.

When you do that, you notice just how many commercials there are
Oct 24, 2024, 10:49 AM

Because you end up skipping large chunks of minutes.
And yes Faxon’s show is becoming the best to listen to because of how much depth and content they cover. No tangents and not slow so they actually get to a wide variety of teams and topics. It actually makes the other shows seem glacial paced in comparison.
But do agree that the only thing is too much NFL talk from him though. I tend to check out when they shift to that

I try sometimes, as I am driving places, but I usually end up turning it off after a few minutes. It always sounds like a bunch of drunk frat boys who were 3rd team wannabees in HS, sitting around yapping about things they know nothing about. The ignorance they display about the actuals ins & outs of the game are just unbearable.

leaving it to rattle around on its threaded base to the point that the whole assembly came lose.
So I took it off, and now my truck doesn't pick up the ROAR all that good.
That decision forced me to build a Spotify playlist that is now almost 13 hours long and contains nothing but Willie, Waylon, Merle, George, Patsy, Bob Wills, Faron Young ... Morgan Wallen, Eric Church ...
And now I'm happy my truck, which has bluetooth, doesn't pick up the ROAR all that good.
