For all of you old timers that remember the 5th quarter

show back in its heyday, it is hard to listen to the current show. Back in the day you got score after score,and the best was when they would go to a live update," We now go to Willis Shuman Liiiiive in Athens..", " Hey guys, South Carolina has just taken the lead in overtime and ...".. In all seriousness, I turned on the 5th quarter show last night when I got in the car at Mcfadden. By the time I had gotten home in Powdersville, I had heard Dabo's post game,and Trevor's post game..the REST OF THE TIME WAS COMMERCIALS.

Totally agree. It used to be wonderful!!!! Just like tv- one small snippet of info and then 5 minutes of commercials.

Used to listen to the 5th q but hearing is not good enough to understand the talk over the radio and commercials give me a headache so for me it was Jimi Hendrix for the ride home

Agree. Back in the day, if you missed someone's interview the first time, you knew it was coming around again. Now, not so much. Same with scores. I suppose people REALLY want to hear about pizza these days.

on I-85 when I heard Dabo's Post Game Presser . . .
What was up with that wasted time with the BCBS Info-mercial??? Totally uncalled for and inappropriate for the show!!!
What a waste of airtime . . . Should have changed to the LSU vs Florida Game . . . but I wanted to hear Dabo so I paid the price of giving up a portion of my life for that crap!!!

Sometimes I wonder if we are seeing the monetization and death of college football. If they start paying players that will be the death nail. But to your point, I agree it's hard to listen to the 5th QTR show. I wish they would take some of that $70MM IPTAY is putting into the stadium and provide a commercial free Clemson Football show that people could enjoy.

me being too tired, old, and ornery to put up with the 5th quarter show.
The insurance commercial was ridiculous!
Well, since it was the night before his wedding, I guess Qwalk was just mailing it in. . .
