What I don't get is when the Ticket trashes NT, Ticket fans say that is just part of the schtick and you can't take it seriously, but when a personality from another station does what amounts to a Ticket ripoff mindlessly ripping NT, it is just more proof that the Ticket is better.

That was a really long sentence.

I listened to ESPN Radio every day in college. The best was when they had Kornheiser (he was the funniest radio host ever...way funnier than he is on TV, it was laugh out loud stuff), Dan Patrick (but with Dibble instead of Olberman...it kinda sucks now), and then the Big Show with Coop and Newy. Kornheiser quit doing his show, Dibble got fired from the DP show, and they replaced Coop and Newy with Galloway. It hasn't been nearly as good since. I don't mind Galloway, but his thing is just like the Ticket, a lot of shock value, but once you get it, it's funny.

Since I moved to Abilene, I have been listening to the ESPN station out here, but they only have one hour of local programming a day and I am always still in practice when it is on, so I hear all national feed. Their national stuff is very good (other than Mike & Mike), and they have frequent updates and hit the big stories pretty often.

Because we at least have Dunham at the Ticket to defend us.

If you want to hear how bad ESPN radio has gotten all you need to do is listen to that idiot that does the Cowboy games with Brad Sham.

Is that Charlie Waters? Sham is annoying himself. I hate Cowboys radio; but I did like Babe when he was doing it.

Yes it is Charlie Waters and I hate to burst your bubble the Ticket is the official Cowboys station not ESPN

Totally agree except I will say Galloway and his wannabees have ruined ESPN radio, which is why you have a sidekick like Jen Engel with her own show. Plus she has one of the worst voices on radio! The Ticket would be better if it got serious and talked about sports more and stop having fake interviews...

I love Cooperstein, he talks sports 99% of the time and is one of the most knowledgeable sports guys I can think of. He would never make it on the Ticket.

That's what they said about Norm Hitzges. How'd that ever turn out?

I agree with you 100%. Coop is the only legit sports guy on 103.3. A walking sports almanac with very "solid" opinions that he can back up.

I prefer ESPN radio over the Ticket just because it's a real sports station. The Ticket is too silly for my tastes, even though Galloway & the Cowboy homer Jennifer Engel have taken 103.3 to near Ticket status. All they lack are fart jokes & Sopranos talk bull crap. rolleyes.gif

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
