Gary and Matt

[Boondock_St_Sker]

I think since anyone can start a podcast now, their jobs are becoming less and less important. If you think about a decade ago, I would listen to 1620 to get Husker insights and other things. Now, how many Nebraska podcasts are there with guests or hosts that are/were former players? There's 3 radio shows that have former players hosting them. So now it comes down to do you want to spend your time listening to Gary and Matt discuss other sports? Because they aren't bringing inside info or any groundbreaking thoughts when it comes to Husker athletics. You basically just have them hosting a show where Sam McKewon calls in to give his thoughts. Their best segments are recruiting guys calling in to say how that is going, but if you have a membership to On3 or 247 you are getting all the info they are saying anyway.

who the fuck cares about AM radio anymore? I mean, I listen but not as often as I used to, enough to know that I'm desperate for the "old days" of Kugler and Severe or Schick and Nick when I was actually entertained and informed. Now we get dudes that are spewing hot air mixed with piss and vinegar that have zero fucks in their pockets (it seems like) for any REAL conversations. The guests that they have talk about the same thing on 2351643 different radio shows/YouTube channels/Podcasts that it's not fresh anymore. Fat Panda/Sip/Bland/Schaef, all those dudes rehash all the same non-insider info that it's diluted. This site gets better insidher info than most if not all??

Yeah I think these are great summations of why I just check out in the offseason (and listen to less and less content during the season too). It's just totally diluted. I remember being stoked to download the podcast version of the weekly Jay Foreman appearance on Sharp and Benning because it was like a special occasion haha. Now everybody is everywhere talking about the same thing, which again this time of year is nothing.
