  • 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 🤔.

  • 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.
