KSU OMG 810 shut up about KSU - RANT - Page 10

saphojunkie · 12:23 PM

Look, assholes. I need sports radio. My brain is focused pretty intensely at work, and there are times when I have to turn on the radio just to give my neurons a different pathway for firing. At these times, I want to stop for ten minutes and think/hear about the Chiefs, or that week's interesting sports story.

But nooooooo....it's a Frank Martin Marathon! All Frank Martin, all the time! This is what everyone is DYING to hear about! I mean, my god! A college coach left his marginally good program! It's a national tragedy! It's a scandal!! WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE ARE THE CHURCHES STILL OPEN DEAR GOD HELP US ALL.

It's not like you assholes have nothing else to talk about. It's the GD final four, and there is a local school - a MORE LOCAL SCHOOL WITH A HIGHER LOCAL ATTENDANCE RATE - participating in the Final Four. Have I heard jack ****ing shit about it? No. No, I haven't.

Soren Petro had Kevin Harlan, a graduate of KU, on the show yesterday. Billed as "talking about Ku in the Final Four and Frank Martin leaving," the discussion turned into "20 minutes discussing Syracuse's journalism program and Frank Martin leaving."

It isn't that I need you assholes to talk about KU all the time. (this is part of being a badass. You can read about your program in the NATIONAL MEDIA.) But my god the felching for Frank Martin has gone on long enough.

A) Martin was not a great coach. He occasionally fielded teams that were somewhat good. Then he crumbled.
B) Martin was an embarrassment on the courtside. His antics surpassed even those of Todd Haley.
C) KSU is a football school, anyway. The only reason why Wildcats care about Basketball is that KU cares about basketball, and it's a chance to one-up the in-state rival. They own KU in football, but that isn't quite satisfying, because Jayhawks don't really care, which is frustrating.
D) Lots and lots and lots and lots of schools lose their coach. It isn't a massive story.
E) No one gives a **** if John Curry and Frank Martin are mortal enemies. If Bill Snyder has a problem with the AD, then the AD is gone. That's your story, and so far, it ain't happening.

Look, I get it. Your morning guy went to Mizzou. Petro went to Syracuse. Kietzman went to K-state. Your entire station is a lineup of disappointment and failure and suck. You are marginal broadcasters at best on a GOOD week, let alone a week where all of your alma maters exemplify abject failure. You don't want to give those damn Beakers the satisfaction. Cool. I get it. You don't have to talk about KU. Here are some other ideas:

-The damn draft.

-Go in depth as to what happened with Brady Quinn. Why he fell in the draft, why Cleveland traded up for him. Why then he was thrown under the bus. Why he sucked.

-Get Kelly Gregg on the phone and talk about the nose tackle in various defensive systems, and what kind of a player fits them. It will at least inform some fans who don't know.

-Talk about the Final Four. There are other stories than just KU. People do have an interest in the games in general.

-Talk about John Calipari's legacy if he wins.

-Talk about Rick Pitino's legacy if he wins.

-How about the signing classes for the football programs? How are they looking?

-How about the QB prospects coming into the football season this year? What Jrs and Srs should we be keeping an eye on?

Dear god, anything other than Frank Martin. I couldn't stand the guy when he was at KSU, and now that he's gone, he's more present than ever.

End of rant.

Apologies to Chiefsplanet. Here is a picture of a hot girl.

Tulsa sports radio is awful. Especially considering the afternoon guy is a Raiders fan, and a douchey one at that. Ugh. It was round 2 of March Madness and these douche nozzles were talking about Tulsa football.

Plank and Pop? One is a Raider fan and I think the other is a Niner fan isn't he?

What is the Gaslight Grill you folks keep talking about?

It's a dark paneled, high priced geriatric lounge lizard booze pit for old, rich, white Johnson County sleaze balls to congregate, have three martini lunches and talk about who can't get it up any more.

They have a house "Lynn Zimmer Jazz Band," which is desperately comical. I can see the sixty something insurance salesmen washing down their Viagra with Cutty Sark and hitting on a 40-something waitress with four kids by three different husbands.

Danny Clinkscale does their commercials with the owner, this old fart named Dick Hawk. It's bad local radio copywriting at its finest, and all the commercials have this insipid, awful clarinet music in the background. Apparently Lynn Zimmer is to Dick Hawk as Stevie is to Kenny Powers.

.....there's nothing more to add. Perfect.

The only thing I'd add is that you could no doubt guess everything on the menu before even looking at it.

Dayze · 03-30-2012, 09:52 AM

One day a while back I was listening to Petro's show at work. I caught it right as The Program began it's day. This MF'er started out for about 9-12 minutes talking about some promotion...then went to GD commercial.

I went to the Facebook page, and left a message something to the effect of "Nice 15 Minute Infomercial To Start the day".
I went back to the site about 15 minutes later and they had taken it down. lol. Pussies.

Yeah they do that. "We're out here at ___, they go great promotions going on, etc. etc." - Commercial break. That, after the commercial break that preceded the show. So basically a half hour of commercials.

This weekend it's our tent sale. I'll be on the roof of the dealership with a basket full of adorable golden lab puppies. And if we don't sell 100 pre-owned cars by Sunday at 6PM, I'll kill each and every one of these puppies. Still not enough? Come test drive a Dodge Challenger and my wife Wanda will give you a handie, absolutely free. One handie per customer please. And your trade has never been worth more. Hell, buy a new Jeep Grand Cherokee, and we'll accept your children in trade. We sell them into slavery in the third world. I don't care what you have to do to get here, just get here... I'm Jeff Briggs, and DAMN IT, GET OUT HERE AND BUY A CAR, AND BUY IT TODAY!!!!!!"

I would have put money on him breaking the big Vanover/Bam Morris story the same way.

With Kietz, you can always tell that his position is fabricated or too considerate of keeping corporate sponsorships. Just a terrible show, and it took me switching to figure out just how much so.

Listening to Joslin's ads on 810 just now, I decided to google "gary joslin stroke". And this was the first link that came up.

Chiefsplanet rocks once again.
