How's everyone liking this show?

I like the 3 guys and they all seem to bring a little something different. Ponamsky is your resident sunshine pumper/optimist and Ott often takes him to task on it. Hanagriff is also good as expected, seems pretty unbiased and not afraid to give his opinion like I thought he may be.

Much better than AFR because it brings different viewpoints and not just scone telling everyone why he's right

i like legit discussions more than caller-driven content, for sure

but typically, they will develop roles (like the skip bayless, etc)

I think Hanagriff is money. I've started listening to this over the national broadcasts.

all 3 guys are extremely knowledgeable. If only 1210 had folded sooner and we got this show during football season

I'm liking Ott again for the first time in a while. I think not having his friends call for an entire show has helped a lot.

Listening now. It's the best local show I've heard by far. Hanagriff is money.

Caller driven radio like AFR sucks as a general rule.

I haven't gotten to listen to this yet because of class, but the format is one I prefer anyway, and Hannagriff is always solid.

Having him in the sidekick role helps too. He isn't the main focus, but he can chime in.

Best BR show in a long, long time.

Hanagriff is better now then when he had his solo show way back when

I thought I would hate it, and I'm still mad they took an hour away from SVP, but they could have done a lot worse. I don't follow recruiting much at all, but the talk today had me listening. I guess that says something.

You can tell Ott hates it though
Ott and Songy can go do something else

Ott seems like a completely different person now. I couldn't stand his crapfest of a show on 1210, but he definitely brings something to this show.

This is Hanagriff's niche too. He needs to stick to this instead of pursuing any sort of announcing for LSU.

JImmy has always been knowledgeable. Roscoe and Sewer Rat no offense to those guys, made he and his show look VERY local and unprofessional.

THe best thing is that they have taken the best elements for The Press Box Show the best from The Tiger Zone and post games and D P makes the show complete.

I dont miss 1210 at all anymore

Same. I guess the state of local shows was so terrible it made scone's show look good by comparison, think mediocre girl that hangs out with a group of uggos.

Scone could use a co-host or something to occasionally reel him in. He wants to be BR's Cowherd and its gotten old.

Wow. I guess I am in the minority here I think it's terrible. Hannigriff's monotone, boring delivery makes him sound miserable and makes the show boring as hell to listen to. Ott is an arse clown and will always be. He was the deal breaker for me on this show.

I wish they would have done this sooner. Starting at the tail end of the football season didn't make sense. I am glad CH is back on the radio.
