The Ticket is the best station in town by a mile. He's spot on when he says the only reason for the shakeup was the Cowboys success this year.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20141126-d-fw-sports-radio-ratings-the-ticket-unseated-as-the-fan-takes-top-spot.ece

"The Ticket still led in Men 25-54 Mondays-Fridays 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. when the high-priced local talent is on duty. The Fan was No. 2, followed by KESN.

Credit for the ratings shakeup goes to the Fan's status as the radio flagship for the surprising Cowboys with all the ancillary programing that it provides as well as its Monday night and Thursday night NFL programming."

I disagree. Outside of Norm the stick-it offers up no information of any value whatsoever.

Thank you. It'll be only the third time I'll have listened to the local a.m. bad comedy channel in 15 years. Dr. Mercer is a great man. Rick

Yeah, you provide a ton of insight around here.

Of all the others who have said they don't like the Ticket I'm the one you chose to respond to. I'm honored. You know I can't stand the Ticket and why. It's nothing to do with you of course.

That is an interesting opinion likely based on your vast experience with the station.

You people should really start pony-ing up for satellite radio. It's one of the few luxuries I refuse to give up. The only AM/FM radio I ever listen to is 88.1 these days.

I don't spend enough time in my car to justify that expense. I've got spotify premium if I'm going to be in the car for a while.

I've tried listening to the ticket and can't do it. Maybe tey just really sucked all the times I tried listening and I would have loved it if I had heard a different segment. Anything is possible I guess.

I don't listen to much radio, but get stuck there when a books on tape runs out. Russ Martin is popular too and I can't figure out why either.

At least your opinion is based on spending a little time and coming to the conclusion that it isn't for you.

Is there a satellite station that gives a traffic report every 5 minutes?

But that aside, seriously, it's good to see you posting here again.

Wow, this Bill Mercer thread sure got sidetracked. Bill talked about his days in the Navy in WW II, the JFK assassination, and of course the Ice Bowl. He's lived a pretty fascinating life. Norm asked Bill to come back on in a couple of weeks and talk about the WCCW days.

For anyone that grew up in this area in the 70s or early 80s, this should be can't miss radio.

If anyone hears when this interview is going to take place, please post on here.

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
