re: Long time Baton Rouge sports radio personalty Bryan Rushing passed away
Posted by Kford on 3/13/17 at 3:43 pm to AlwaysPutsSeatDown
I worked with Bryan for a couple of years after high school in my first two years at LSU. Bryan worked with Bill Wagy who was the sports Director of WJBO at the time. When Wagy left to take a job in Ohio, Bryan assumed many of his duties on WJBO. He hosted special basketball pre game shows during the 1987 run to the elite 8. I helped produce his shows in Chicago and Cincinnati that he did on WJBO from the tourney. Those were fun times. At the time I met him, he was the most knowledgeable person I had ever met about LSU. I have not seen or talked to Bryan in several years and am shocked at his passing. Rest In Peace and god bless your family during this time of grief.

Don't forget LSU played Houston on December 29, 1981 in the Superdome and lost 73-69.

Hey I'm open for any suggestions. Constructive criticism is a good thing I welcome all comments and suggestions and I will tell you why or why not I will use them. I want to make the show enjoyable and informative as possible.
LOA Radio Show

Please join us for The LOA Radio Show this evening from 6:10-7:00pm on 107.3 in Baton Rouge. Guests for this show include Todd Masson(fishing reports outdoor news), David Cavell (freshwater report), Capt Travis Miller (Dularge report) and David Cresson of CCA Louisiana. If you are out of the area you can listen online at talk1073 or on The Free Talk 1073 app.
Thank you for the kind words 756. There are definitely enough stories to write a book. Nothing controversial just lots of fun things that happened showing the human side of athletes and coaches. I think one of the biggest thing that a lot of fans don't acknowledge is that athletes and coaches are people just like us. They deal with the same daily things that we have to face on a daily basis.

If you can't handle criticism in this business, you are in the wrong business. Some of the stuff on here is classless and childish, but if someone that I can reason with does not like what I do or how I do it, I'm certainly going to try to change their minds if it's possible. I want as many people as possible watching or listening to my show. I saw some things on here that were not clear or completely false and I wanted to set the record straight. I'm sure I will continue to be called every name in the book by some, and they are entitled to their opinion.
The reason why I left out Saban and Miles was that I did not have a personal relationship with them. In fact, neither one could pick me out of a crowd of two. I was not traveling with football and when Saban came to LSU, he started doing his pre game interview on gameday, and Miles continued to do the same. The previous coaches starting with Archer did pregame on Wednesday mornings and I did those interviews and also worked their coaches shows so I got to know those guys.
I can say one thing. If I ever felt too good about myself and would just go on here and I would get grounded pretty quick. The fans here are passionate about the announcers as well. I just made sure my mother never read some of the stuff on here!!

I have no clue how to respond to this. Neither of us can remember it. Jim and I have been close since we started working together. We had some great times and times where we made eachother mad but for someone to say we dislike eachother is insane
I take it you won't be listening to the fishing show on Thursday!!

I don't want this to sound like sour grapes. There was someone who ignored my emails, texts, and phone calls. That being said they had every right to make the change. Disappointed yes but bitter no. As many of you have pointed out, I'm not the most talented guy in the world so I feel blessed to have lasted 28 years.

After seeing some of this thread I signed up for an account to clear some things up.
We are transient workers and thus the post is correct. There is no retirement so whether it was 28, 29, or 30 years it does not matter.
