  • Veering off

    I’ve been listening to 100.9 FM based out of Midland for the better part of 5 years, of which Huge has a show. But of recent the majority of content when I tune in has been about Ferris State University. Today it was about some guy and the AI program there 🤔. Don’t really care to hear about that on a sports program, at all. Not sure if he is compensated in some capacity by the school? And what is with all the political leanings that are espoused throughout as well? It’s a sports radio station… ... more

  • Too many “hot takes”, not enough true insight

    Huge has decent guests on his show, but he doesn’t bring much to the table himself. He throws out a lot of hot takes - opinions from left field with no factual support. If you want real insight on Michigan-based sports, listen to 96.1 The Ticket on your ride to work in the morning, not your ride home in the afternoon.

  • Excellent show

    Been listening to Bill, aka Huge, for as long as I can remember. His guests on the show for the Detroit pro teams and colleges throughout Michigan are amazing from UM, MSU, Central, Western, Ferris, Hope etc. Keep up the good work Bill!

  • Political hack

    This guy just refuses to cover sports. It’s his political opinions every hour. Would love show if he just covered sports.

  • Bad

    Host’s voice is obnoxious, as are his takes on many things. Plenty of other sports talk shows with more bearable hosts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Huge Show - May 6th - 4pm Hour
Q: How is Cade Cunningham viewed in the playoffs based on this discussion?
He is portrayed as a top-tier two-way player and a primary offensive engine who also contributes defensively, with leadership and high usage making him one of the league's elite players.
The Huge Show - May 6th - 4pm Hour
Q: What changed in the Michigan high school football playoff seeding structure?
The new format groups eight teams into four circles, using playoff points to rank within each circle, which reduces repeat first-round matchups while keeping the overall qualifications intact.
The Huge Show - MSU Interview - Jim Comparoni 05-05-26
Q: Pistons or Cavs and how many games in that seven game series?
I'll stick with the Pistons in six games; they have the edge in this matchup and the series should be competitive.
The Huge Show - May 6th - 3pm Hour
Q: What adjustments did Cleveland need to make to even the series?
They needed to limit Jared Allen's early fouls, double Cade Cunningham more effectively, and find a way to get more production from their bench, while staying disciplined on defense.
The Huge Show - MHSAA Interview - Mark Uyl 05-06-26
Q: Will this change affect which teams make the playoffs?
No, the qualification criteria and the number of teams advancing remain the same; the change is about how the initial groupings are formed and how teams are matched up in the early rounds.
