Thank you. It'll be only the third time I'll have listened to the local a.m. bad comedy channel in 15 years. Dr. Mercer is a great man. Rick

Yeah, you provide a ton of insight around here.

Of all the others who have said they don't like the Ticket I'm the one you chose to respond to. I'm honored. You know I can't stand the Ticket and why. It's nothing to do with you of course.

Cackling? ?? Isn't that all the guy they call cobra does with his high pitched forced laugh...

I'm sorry, I don't think they can hear you over their Marconi's for best sports radio show in the country...

If that is true, Guglielmo Marconi must be spinning in his grave at the thought that his name is associated with radio programs that are the equivalent of a whoopee cushion.....and that's being generous.

One of the other two sports shows on FM unseated the Ticket in ratings this past year. Can't remember which? 105.3 The Fan maybe?

Rick -- Misleading. It was for one month and it was because of Dallas Cowboys games. The Ticket still leads in every prime radio spots, such as morning and afternoon drive.

Thor -- Yes, the guys who giggle in the background and contribute no content. Corby is at least funny along with his annoying laugh.

The funny thing about ratings is that they can be skewed how you want them...Russ is number 1 in afternoon drive...not the ticket

Russ is number 1 in afternoon drive...not the ticket

Talk about forced cackling. I tried really, really hard for about two years to like Russ Martin back in the 105.3 days. I don't think I ever heard him speak. Just hours upon hours of stoned giggling and references to interns delivering unsatisfactory fried chicken. Compound that to his hobby of wife beating and what I've heard of his treatment of other on air talent, and F that guy. If DFW wants to be suckered in by some shitty marketing scheme that he actually has something to offer, then no skin off my teeth. I didn't even know they'd let him back out of his cage and on the air again.

As for Corby, yes, mostly cackling and total Chris-Chris whatever happened with some big P5 program this week is always the _____est in the history of ever. However, of all the on air talent at the Ticket, when he breaks frat boy character, he sometimes has really insightful things to say. I recall a couple months ago that he had insight as to the current state of country music that I'd never considered, and it was spot on.

The rest of the ticket to me is a bunch of old men snickering at lame middle school genital humor and Norm yelling everything three times.

But I still listen because I can't freaking stand music from terrestrial radio anymore, so the Ticket is the least bothersome to me.

91.7 is a decent alternative for music but it's a total crap shoot as to what you're gonna get. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's average, and other times it's completely self indulgent local coffee shop stoner on a mandolin life has no meaning folksy crap. Although I did hear them play Midlake a few days ago, so that should make several posters here all fanboy hot in the loins.

The Ticket is the best station in town by a mile. He's spot on when he says the only reason for the shakeup was the Cowboys success this year.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20141126-d-fw-sports-radio-ratings-the-ticket-unseated-as-the-fan-takes-top-spot.ece

"The Ticket still led in Men 25-54 Mondays-Fridays 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. when the high-priced local talent is on duty. The Fan was No. 2, followed by KESN.

Credit for the ratings shakeup goes to the Fan's status as the radio flagship for the surprising Cowboys with all the ancillary programing that it provides as well as its Monday night and Thursday night NFL programming."

      AAC Softball Tournament

      One bad umpire call in the bottom of the 5th just started Tulsa on a downward spiral after being up 8-4. A WSU player swung and missed or foul tipped on an 0-2 count and it was caught by the catcher, but low. I guess there was no video replay available and the ump must have ruled dropped ball by the catcher? The Tulsa coach was livid. They reset the count again at 0-2 and of course then the player gets a single and a snowball from there. WSU went on to score 7 runs that inning which included several throwing errors or dropped balls by Tulsa.

      Yeah it seems Tulsa has blown a lot of leads this year. We have too but Tulsa's blown leads seemed bigger. Now FAU has to play after a week off against the home team who has scored 24 runs in 2 games. Barnard has hit like four homers lol.

      Amid portal era, Calipari hints at limiting Ark. roster to '8 or 9 guys'

      Calipari said the turnover in college basketball in the transfer portal era has changed his philosophy on assembling rosters. "You may think I'm crazy, but I told my staff I only want to have eight or nine guys," Calipari told Robinson, who is now executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. "They're leaving anyway, and why would I develop a kid for someone else? Why would I do that?" Calipari said he has talked to other coaches who have discussed similar strategies. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40115234/amid-portal-era-calipari-hints-limiting-arkansas-roster-8-9-guys (Injuries would be a good reason to stock extra players, as NT saw last season)

      It looked like one of our players may have got hurt (leg or ankle?) near the dugout during the postgame celebration on the field? I couldn't see who it was or had bad it was.
