Jon Wilner podcast on state of UCLA & USC

Haven't listened to this interview but heard another interview with Petros a few days ago and his comments were that USC didn't have any interest in Orgeron because he doesn't speak the king's English and isn't a country club guy like Helton.
 
Something I think works strongly in CU's favor in terms of getting us in the national media spotlight is how well positioned we are with the talking heads.

Fowler is the #1 play-by-play guy for college football at ESPN.
Klatt is the #1 color guy for college football at FOX.
Neuheisel is now on the CBS studio show (and he's all about hyping the Pac-12 and himself).
Fauria is on the CBSSN studio show as the main color guy.

It's gonna be a bonanza if this thing gets rolling.

That and, as we saw in 2016, the national media likes for Colorado to be a good program. Maybe it’s because it was so bad for so long but people seemed excited and were rooting for us. That would probably wear off after a couple of good years though.

There's also the fact that they like visiting Boulder to do games. (All the more reason that RG needs to make that press box first class as a major west side project).

From a business side of things, the bean counters certainly know that the Front Range Megaregion is one of the fastest growing in the country with CU the flagship and Denver the hub.

Don’t be a douche. If you like to be informed then you should definitely listen. He knows his ****.

I’m a douche because I can’t stand his ****ing voice? Lol, okay. I’ve heard him announce, I’d rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.
 
No you wouldn't, nails on a chalkboard are ****ing brutal. :D I don't have a problem with Petros, his voice is kinda ****ed up, but not a big deal, to me anyway.
 
until our Buffs get better upfront and tougher/more disciplined, we won't see a W over the ****ing trojans. the first step is to beat them by being tougher and more physical than they are. then, recruit better and try to close the talent gap. ucla is soft, ucla will always be soft, and ucla will always have some athletes. they are not the target program. control of the p12 runs through usc. the north is tougher than the south, top to bottom, but put a bullseye on usc and good things will happen for our Buffs.

Sounds very similar to those red pussies to the east.

When we didn’t beat them this year FHCMM and Chev lost me. They weren’t very good. I’m tired of their bull***. Red game their asses and let’s do an “I Hate USC Thread.”
Fu** those guys and their imitation, superficial, LA cr**. If I’m HCMT....I’m all about BEAT SC!
 
Now Lynn Swann has managed to piss off the song girls.



they mentioned how corporate its become at USC hoops games Ditto for CU games at the Keg and its really taken away from the experience. Just a bunch of marketing crap nobody wants to watch, and the DJ's they hire are really annoying and out of place. The student wave before the 2nd half is a great example. Used to be a fun thing that felt like an organic thing the students do, then they started having the DJ annonce it and may have announced a sponsor for it. Needless to say the whole thing just died.

One of the big draws to college sports has always been the "college" atmosphere. You go to see college players and college fans putting on a college show.

If I want to spend a whole bunch of extra money to see production value, to see canned marketing elements disguised as fan energy, to see a choreographed show I might as well spend a little more money and go to a pro game to see better athletes.

A lot of the appeal of going to a college game is to see college students being college students be that the student section being spontaneous (including some off-color or inappropriate words or actions,) hearing a pep band that makes up for imperfections with energy, cheer squads with genuine smiles doing what they love to do, and the rest of it.

Skip the DJs, the sponsored cheers, the scripted cheers, the canned noise, the rest of the fake excitement.

Rick George was the COO for the Texas Rangers and the entertainment between innings was and still is relentless.

A few jump the shark moments at the Ranger game includes a bunch of Elvis impersonators riding miniature motorcycles around the outfield, a firework game nowhere near the 4th of July that featured a musical soundtrack from Star Wars, and Baylor appreciation night (barf).

On top chaos are dot races, the kid stealing third base, blasting personalized walk-out music every single inning for every single Ranger player inbetween the relentless montage of canned hype music blaring at roaring jet engine decibels for whatever the minimum number of bars is to trigger no payment to the artist’s lable.

“It’s fun to stay at the YMCA - Celebrate good times, come on - I get knocked down. I get up again - we will, we will rock you - Gary Glitter riff - 5 sec of William Tell overture, baby your a firework”. It’s as if a mostly deaf DJ with ADD, a remote control and a kilo of cocaine is getting paid by the button push.

That level of sensory overload would crack Manuel Noriega!

So glad Elvis on minibikes isn’t a feature at CU (yet). But the new scoreboard pyrotechnics is a step in that direction.

But that is baseball, you have to find a way to make it somewhat entertaining.

RG really isn't that smart if he doesn't know that copyright has run on the William Tell Overture.

Rick George can totally get sheet music that is in the public domain and hire musicians to play the William Tell orchestra. However he would be ill advised to broadcast arrangements of, and recordings of, or specific performances of classical music that are copyrighted separately.:ROFLMAO:
