Who do you like best to listen to? Least?
I like Plyler but have a hard time listening to Ben Milstead.

Walt is a train wreck sometimes. He only remembers when he is right.
And, the "It's got to be the SAAAUUUUCCCEEE..." commercials.

Plyer in the morning
Switch Sirius XM in the afternoon. Qualk's tantrums are annoying. Walt is so arrogant I can't listen.

XM channel 84 is college sports talk, and also listen to Lithium--90's rock which I believe is channel 34. I was at Clemson in 90's---the glory years..hahaha---Hatfield and West

Plyler is knowledgeable and entertaining, + provides unintentional comic relief when blazing through an ad & his words are 100% indecipherable, kinda surprised advertisers don't complain-

Did like it better with Qualk & Kelly, tho.
As for commercials, I'm tired of Schnider Tree Care. Prolly wouldn't use them just because of the ad.
Also, Royal Flush "do,do,do,de,do, who ya gonna call?"

I’m never up early enough to listen to Mickey.
Walt has moments where he is decent but too often goes on the same rants.
Brad and John are ok, but John goes to the sarcastic joke well a bit too often.

time admitting when he's wrong. He also has a tendency to continue digging himself into an even deeper hole rather than accept the truth but his overall knowledge of college and pro personnel is impressive, rarely found in a local sports talk show host and not often in the national shows, save for former GMs-

of specific things.
Sometimes he gets too hyper-focused on one strong belief he has for a certain time and hypes it too much, like that one particular FSU O-lineman from a few years ago who he seemed to have a personal vendetta against.

I have visited everyone's road shows atleasr once!
Walt was in greenville at a 7 eleven and I was riding by so u thought, "yeah ill stop and say hey to him and the regulars"! Walked in the store and saw Walt sitting down. I started laughing like a high 18 yr old and thinking this has to be a joke. Dude looked like he had Moe's (3 stooged) haircut, plus it looked like he was dressed by 5 blind people and just looked like a clown.
I walked right out and thought, ty but no ty!

Senkiw doesn't do a real show. They're just like, "I pick so and so to win." No sports analysis. Milstead has no business being on the radio, but he can't help himself. Walt is a big fish in a little pond who could easily have a national show.

I suppose in his favor he does spend a tremendous amount of time researching sports. I'll give him that.

He's tailor-made for such a position(personality, knowledge covering a variety of sports, even the accent)and I don't care for his stubbornness or his "Russell is the goat" perspective & refusal to acknowledge there were only 8 teams in the NBA at the time—

Walt and Ramona terrific. Walt knows a ton about so many sports - suspect both those have super high IQ’s. Walt actually prepares for his shows - more people call in to participate than other shows. Kelly and Qualk were a treasure. Qualk talks too much and not much participation from listeners. Others are ok except Mickey. Enjoy him and guests. Think since he became Dad he works harder on show.

John Hyte is just a parrot.

Qualk actually knows sports
Milstead is in the wrong profession

I think Qualk is mostly really good.
I’ve become more and more okay with Mickey over the years. Maybe it’s just because he’s been around forever and I know he’s a Clemson guy.
Walt is useless to me. Total waste of time.
I can’t stand Milstead, and I think a lot of that is due to the believable stories of what a horrible person he is.
Faxon Childress is the absolute worst. I can’t stand to listen to that kid. And he only got the job because of his dad, who also sucks.

Mark Childress does just the most generic topic radio like "what is your favorite Clemson football moment this decade?" and calls it a day as he sits back and takes calls.

I like Mickey Plyler and the early morning show guys. Some good variety on the show. I will say Delvin must pay money to be the first caller everyday. I do not mind Faxon as the kid does his homework and does a good job IMO.
I honestly do not get a chance to listen to The Press Box or Out of Bounds very often because unlike more than half of Tnet I have to work everyday.
Walt does have some good information to share, but my goodness he repeats himself a lot.
Ramona is the glue that holds it all together!!

Yep, wife and I listen to Mickey every morning on the app while getting ready for work. Working folks don’t get much of the other hosts. I listen to Walt on the way home some days if I’m not “working”, on the way home.

VERY defensive. I get defending your staff and the station, but good grief.
I like Mickey's show the best. That said, I could do without the #### guest on Tuesdays and Georgia guest on Wednesdays - they come on during my commute so I basically get no clemson stuff on tuesdays and Wednesdays.

was caller driven, but that was just because he didn't have any show prep and all he would do is open the phone lines...How many times did he try to rehash the Confederate flag discussion?

program,particularly after he got canned by the Seneca paper... he was involved with the FOIs in the Gaffneygate recruiting mess and then failed to return the favor when it was learned the Governor was hosting SCU recruits...if he had actually cared about his show, he would have actually prepped topics daily instead of just opening the phone lines...I will say this for him, people who like baseball really liked it when he called Tiger baseball games, so there is that as well

is just plain bad radio. The P guy spends more time listing inane statistics, baseball scores, golf tee times, long winding lists of recruit names, and other superfluous information / space fillers. If you want real discussion and entertainment, gotta' go national with something like Childers and Neuheisel, or Rome later in the day. Skip and Shannon were way above everyone, but now broken up. It's too bad the local guys are satisfied with themselves and don't train and seek to get better by listening and studying others who are ahead of them. I think Mark Ryan in the afternoon actually works the hardest to be a top-flight pro at his job.

Like Mikey and Brad. Loved Kelly and Roy and miss them.
Can’t stand Qualk’s rants. Radio goes off when he starts. He is also the only one that won’t have a dialogue with his callers. Cuts them right off. Walt is way too arrogant, but knowledgeable.
