cheeseman Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Just heard that Bernie has a new producer and he is a SLU grad who has season basketball tix. They plan to give him a segment the next morning after games to talk about the Bills. We now have a guy who will talk about Billiken Basketball on a regular basis on the station. This would be more than just a passing remark about a game score but someone who will talk about us as fan. slufanskip, prebilliken, BillIkenFan_Dan and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 This the problem with society today - nobody wants to simply give anybody credit for anything if they don't like the person. Yes Quailman this is great news and yes BBF it would be nice if the station would make this a regular assignment for somebody or simply make it a priority to have Travis or Chris May or even Bob or Earl come on once a week especially given that they are our flag ship station but lets give Bernie credit for even thinking to take advantage of a resource. Here is a thought perhaps other hosts will simply replay parts of the segment on their show - hoping. dlarry, slufanskip and Brighton like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills_06 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 That's good to hear. Wonder if the producer would be interested in trying to start a bit of a recruiting type of service as a side gig. Pistol does a great job keeping us informed but would be nice to get some reaction from players after they visit or interviews with some of the local kids on feelings on SLU.

HoosierPal Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Bernie kind of did this with the Blues last season. I didn’t pay much attention but he had a producer give some insight after each game...someone who actually watched the game, unlike Bernie. So this seems to be an extension of that model.

willie Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I am disappointed that Randy K doesn't give us more love. He attends games and seems to be a fan. Brighton likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 fan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Immediately after the conclusion of last season, I spoke to the station general manager and complained that, as a sponsor of the only local, live product 101 has, the support by Bernie is disappointing. Basically, he blew me off and said there wasn't anything he could do about it. Personally, I wish SLU would leave 101 and find a new home that appreciates the product, and helps support the broadcasts. On 101, Randy K. is about the only person that exhibits any support of the program. Unfortunately, it's not at a time I generally listen to the radio.

Cowboy Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 -good, we should get more talk, as the producer I wonder if they could schedule an on air interview with CFord and if BM doesn't want to conduct it, they could? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I really liked Bernie at the Post. Now he's just a condescending a-hole. He thinks he such hot stuff but really the only reason people lesson to him is familiarity and lack of options. That said I'm glad he's doing this and I'll be tuning in when I can.

slu72 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Doesn't Travis have an in season show? He did last year. Hopefully they start it in late September this year. SLU should also put on a combined Women's and Men's midnite madness this year. Spend some money and make it a real party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talk about various sports (not just the Cardinals) and have interesting and unique takes. Of course, when they aren't talking sports for prolonged periods it can be awful.

ARon Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Do people still listen to sports talk radio??? Serious question. I used to all the time. Now I only listen to Tim McKernan’s long form interview podcast if it is a guest that interests me. And only about 2/3rds of those are sports related!
