Was listening to 104.5 the past few weeks a bit and heard Tbob a few times. Given the current state of the BTR radio guess it can't hurt to try him, but I wonder how biased he is against Les, the team, LSU etc. I do know he was (other than a DUI) a good rep for LSU seemed to play hard and is pretty well spoken. But, given what happended after NC game (rumors, guess we never know truth) and how his father acts I wonder if he has anti-Les/LSU agenda built in. Of course true or not everyone has right to their opinion. Sure many of you know more, what is TBob like? Is he a good guy? Can he present a fair view of LSU football good and bad? thanks, Guess time will tell...

If you've been listening for a few weeks, have you not been able to tell?
The kid loves LSU and if given the chance he would still be out there playing for Les. in the 7-8 weeks I've heard him on the radio, he's not said 1 negative thing towards Les.

T Bobs personality is very much like Bobby's, very jovial and funny (although t bob has a quicker wit and a dryer sense of humor). I think he will do well on radio.

He is not good enough at what he does to be successful as an objective, fair-minded radio personality.

So he will end up doing what his dad does, which is subjectively criticize LSU in order to attract an audience that love subjective criticisms.

I think he's got potential....but he kind of sucks right now Sounds a bit immature and dumb when he talks IMO. Needs time...

You realize this is the kid's first year on the job right?

I like the T-Bob angle in the discussions. Got to remember he is just getting started in the business and is learning, so at times he can seem raw.

The in locker room angle they use with him is great because he is so closely removed from the situation. What will happen when he has less knowledge of the individual players and the program as a whole will be interesting to see.

Also lets see how he transitions away from football talk and more to basketball and baseball.

I think he is doing a good job and just needs to keep learning the business.

he shot down all the rumors pretty hard back in Jan when he was on the radio here. didn't sound like he had any anit-Les or LSU agenda.

I'm not ready to make a decision yet on him since it's only his first year on the job. I do like hearing his point of view since he is only one year removed from the locker room. From what I can tell he isnt half as obnoxious as his dad, but he can be pretty biased towards certain things.

Got better credentials than Erin Andrews to do his job. Oh that's right, she's not a talking head, she's talking T & A.

I heard im talk ab the UF game on the radio.
Thing was he was getting trashed at the bar i was watching it at, so im at least hoping he rewatches the games when hes not drunk so he can form a better opinion. Hes def easier to understand than his dad and has a better insight of the program than his father. Bobby really has nothing to do with LSU. The guy didnt even have to pay for his sons tuition.

I've never heard him say anything negative about or towards LSU at all.

After the Bama game he tweeted something along the lines of "another loss due to LSU coaching" or some shite.
