Walt Deptula

Why do people think that Walt is a credible sports talk show host? He thinks Paul Johnson is the best football coach in the country, he kept going on and on that FSU was going to lose to Louisville, and he thought Auburn was going to go undefeated and go to the national championship. Auburns defense has been giving up points left and right and barely won the last two games by a 4 and 5 coot team and ole miss. How can anyone take what he says seriously and how he has listeners is beyond me. I can't imagine how anyone with an IQ over 100 could listen to anything he says.

Haven't listened to him in a couple weeks.dont plan on listening to him anymore. If I want inaccurate information I will talk to a coot fan. Pandora radio or 560 The Team are much better to listen to. If you guys like to listen to inaccurate uniformed talk then keep at it listening to the "northern Tennessee" talk show host.

Actually he didn't say Auburn would go undefeated as he doesn't think anyone will. Also he thinks Snyder is the best coach in football.So you're inaccurate about 2 things you said he said.

I believe he said auburn would go to and win the national championship so your information is inaccurate. After tonight I believe I can safely say they won't even sniff the national championship! Bwahahahahaha!!!! Yeah keep listening to his inaccurate sports information. He's bound to be right one day!

Walt is credible.He is never wrong,and when he is,he has an uncanny knack of spinning it in such a way as to make you think you misunderstood him.
Add to that,his opinion is the only one that matters.
I won't say that Walt has an ego,but he disagrees with most every major sports talk show host.
In fact he thinks most of them are morons,
yet he has said he would never work for the big stations like ESPN,or FOX SPORTS.
As far as IQ's go,mine is under 100,but I have learned to take everything he says with a grain of salt.

Bill Snyder has been coaching for 135 years now. Most people don't realize this, but he was actually John Heisman's high school coach. He's taught legends - he has to know what he's doing.

Walt is pretty good at analyzing football talent. Not good at football picks. Basketball, I dare to say Walt is one of the best around.I sometimes wonder if Walt is affiliated with Vegas or an organized gambling group.

How can he make a living with only a 3-7 5 day a week job? He doesn't even write on the side or anything.

He has ties to the mafia, just listen to his accent. That's the only logical explanation.

His basketball picks are insane. If I had a way to bet I would take his BBall picks all day. He's usually around 75% correct or something crazy.

he isn't a homer. He has opinions that are based on his analysis and doesn't pander to you. At least the guy takes the time to come up with original though and isn't afraid to stand behind it. I guarantee you would like him more if his show consisted of; Clemson is the best! Everyone else is mediocre and here's how I can spin that Clemson is just as good if not better, SEC and ESPN are an evil empire.
You might not like it but the fact is; Paul Johnson is a pretty good football COACH. He might not be what is needed of a college coach in that he isn't the best recruiter but I bet if he had Clemson's players he'd be doing alright.
Oh yeah, about Auburn, have they lost?

view. I like guys who seek the truth.
Listening to these coot stations around Columbia makes me want to puke. Their entire agenda is pandering to the lowest denominator of the coot fan base. 107.5 is the worst radio. They're still trying to spin a positive on the coots season. Good gawd it's awful stuff to listen to.
Walt believes what he says and actually studies teams. He does his homework and can break down a teams strengths and weaknesses. He deals with the facts represented in front of him. He's passionate about being right and giving the most accurate information he can come up with. I hate homerism radio. It's awful.

If you want to know, he's just more entertaining than the other guys. He's well read on all the teams and players, and puts the work in to be knowledgeable and insightful. He also has a great command of language and phrasing. But more than all this, he's got a certain arrogance and competitive opinionism that makes him controversial. The rest of the guys just don't have this. They're agreeable and their subjects are boring, or at least the way they discuss them. He has an "it" factor.
Yes, he's wrong on some things, as you pointed out, but at least he makes a strong stance and puts his neck out there. A lot of the hosts waffle and hedge themselves, and give themselves an out = which is fine for them, but makes poor radio entertainment. But on a lot of things also he's right. For instance, he said at the beginning of the season that Auburn and K State would have really good teams, and that has proven true. Auburn is pretty much as advertised, so is KSU.
He becomes enamored of and betrothed to certain ideas and subjects, ie Paul Johnson's "genius", but we also love to watch him fall from his platforms and then apply his spins to them. This too is entertaining. Its' the best I can explain it.

I couldn't tell you. I had some issues with Dan Scott's show but liked it. The day they fired him and kept Walt I ordered Sirius and haven't listened to them since.

I might have to check out Sirius as well. I'm enjoying listening to clemson sports talk on 560 The Team. Right now they're tslking to Will Vandervort about Deshaun Watson playing on Thursday. It's a lot better than anything else during this time slot.
