Actually a pretty decent analysis, although being the Capstone Report they seem to be blind to the fact that "all bammer all the time" might also be a factor in the local radio suckage.

Still worth a read, if only for the OD tweakaage.

"Kurre is a likeable clown, but still a clown. Del Greco would defend Auburn if they were testing nuclear capabilities on orphans, and Jay barely knows what’s happening at Alabama, and takes vacation at the strangest times…like national signing day (does anyone else on the radio in the South do this?). The three are supposed to present a balanced forum between Alabama, Auburn and UAB, but it’s about as balanced as Louie Anderson and Anderson Cooper on a see saw. Al runs over Jay, Jay backs down, and Tony makes dirty innuendos. There’s your show."

Sounds pretty spot on. I've tried to listen to these guys when I was in Birmingham for a few days and is painful to listen to. They have no sports knowledge outside of Alabama and Auburn football.

And even that is limited to the 4 years they were there

Matt and Scot do have the exact same voice. It sounds like a boring crazy person arguing with himself.
