  • What happened to vol news?

    Got kicked off Twitter for the last time, so I came to fill my empty bucket of vols fandom with Jon and the bois. Why is the first 20 minutes of this podcast just hating women and male cheerleaders? Yall have gone full MAGA I guess… Jon seems reasonable, but I’m just looking for a gameday preview for the Syracuse game. Don’t let me catch either of you two in Atlanta this weekend. I love to argue. And Atlanta doesn’t want your bigotry and nonsense here. Super disappointed.

  • Tony Basilio is a fraud

    I was a daily listener but adding the sociopath esque Tony Basilio to the programming is an all time bad move. It degrades the credibility of the station. His strays towards other personalities is completely uncalled for

  • Drive and Talk Sports 5 stars

    Cutting Jake and Kress was a horrible idea. It’s trending towards regular sports talk radio. What they had was unique and set them apart, adding Bob has been eh - he gives off an arrogant vibe but his show, even with all his contacts, is very average for sports radio.
