OTB with Culotta and T-Bob or AFR with Matt Moscona? You'd think an afternoon drive sports show would be the premium show on a sports only station but AFR gets zero relevant guests and all he does is play clips of interviews other people do with Coach O and anybody else of current relative importance.

Meanwhile OTB lands prominent, current newsworthy guests almost daily, including Coach O. For example, after Steve Barkowski made his comments about Burrow needing to "pull an Eli" they had him as a guest immediately.

Just curious which show 104.5 puts more resources into considering one pulls heavyweight interviews daily and the other spends 3 hours giggling at inside jokes with Ryan Theriot and Ryan Clark

Coach O refuses to go on with Mascona so he has to play OTB’s sloppy seconds. I know Mascona is looked at as a talented guy but I hate that frickers personality.

OTB overtook AFR in 2019. Jordy Culotta was on a fricking roll all last year.

Scone man sucks. I listen because there's no one else at that time. OTB is the best.

mascona cant get coach o because he basically called him an idiot and said it was a horrible hire

coach o is giving him the bird and i love it

OTB is pretty good, t-bob can be a bit much sometimes but it beats the alternative

OTB is probably objectively better, but they are so boring to me for some reason. Matt can be a dbag but he is more enjoyable to listen to. Tbob is so cringeworthy with his nerd moments. Jordy is alright I guess. I certainly love his passion for LSU b-ball.

I think Hanging with Hester has been my favorite as of late.

OTB over took Mascona, they are the best IMO.

they have the best interviews and the best guests.

Moscona is better. TBob ruins Off the Bench and Jordy is boring. They get better guests bc they never say a negative word about anyone, Scone isn’t afraid to speak his mind. He’s much more interesting to listen to, you know you’re gonna get an honest take

Chuck Oliver show is an abomination. There’s not enough college football to talk about it every day. He’s just rehashing the same stuff over and over for different schools

Masconas content is so terrible it crushes any take he has.

the flow of his show is terrible.

the Theriot bullshite is really bad, there is nothing of substance there.

idk I like Matt except when Ryan T is on. Nice guy but tries too hard. Hester was a great player but his show isn’t that good

Hanging with Hester is by far the worst offering.

Off the Bench is a good lsiten, they have good recurring guest, and speak lightheartedly about things that other shows dont mention. I dont care for some of thee recurring segments such as would you rather Wednesday, but I think they are just trying to have a good time making it through two hours. I think that would be a good think saying that its the morning show, dont need to be to serious on the way to work.

I also enjoy sports today. Its more of a numbers/handicapping show and thats what a lot of people are interested in with sports gambling becoming more mainstream. Most people dont like Jimmy Ott, but I dont mind him. As a fellow alcoholic that what I would sound like if I had to do 10 hours of radio a week. Him and Hanny make a solid pairing.

I used to not like Moscona but he has gotten better as of late. I think it has to do with LSU sports suceeding. I hate how he treats his guest if they ahve a different opinion then him. But I think thats just the hes always right personality that he has. I think 104.5 bills this as their number one show.

Overall, for a city of 200k we have some good radio options compared to other places, I guess thats why you've seen these guys get into the NOLA and Cenla markets as well

Matt is the better radio guy but OTB kills him on content. They get really good interviews.

He wasn’t off base at the time.

O’s record at the time (& program control issues) wasn’t stellar.

Has Scone had his slice of crow pie?

Has O let bygones be bygones?

That radio station practically got O hired at LSU.

hey matt, no you can't publicly bash the hire of a coach and expect him to forget about it and come on your show
