Chuck Cooperstein got x'ed....This was made back in 1997. Show what genius can be made by sitting around with nothing to do and Audio equipment at hand.

I think EJ has an account here... His sister in law does (meangreenbean).

EJ sits at the games with the JD crew and friends.

Love that guy.

That's hilarious. I've always felt some sympathy for Chuck Cooperstein after watching him do a mid-day remote for The Ticket at the then-Ballpark in Arlington. They put him next to the kiddie baseball field, and he was sitting at a folding table holding his papers to keep them from blowing away and doing his show. No one was within 20 feet of him, and I appeared to be the only fan among hundreds walking by who even cared to see him there.

But after hearing that, Coop is the devil. Even if he was right.

I assume this is after the Utah State game that we won 51-48 at the end of the season.

Pretty funny that DD is at USU now and Chuck can still be wishing him luck.

I always kind of enjoyed listening to Coop, but he was just way TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much sports for the Ticket. Of course, Normon seems to be working out well, so what do I know.

I started to lose enthusiasm for The Ticket after they fired Coop. They had a nice balance of sports talk to other talk going at that time, but around the time of Coop's departure it seemed like they went too far away from sports. When one of the great icons of sport died -- Joe DiMaggio I think -- it came up on the Musers and they gave it 10 seconds of time before getting back to shtick. The only non-sports stuff I would listen to on The Ticket is Gordon Keith. Everyone else brought on in his likeness has been a spare.
