With those options, I choose my 80's era CDs. Both suck balls.

Cattles-Mercurio.....Root canal-Stomach flu?

(Payuhn) Manning and Meatballs! It doesn't get better than that!

I have a very tough time with this one. Both are so bad, that just when I think one is clearly the worst sports talk show host of all time, the other sinks even lower. Forget waterboarding, just a week of listening to those bozos will make even the most harden jihadist crack.

His Bean town accent drives me nuts

They both suck, Mercurio just does it with more vitriol

Love Blaine, glad he's on the comeback trail. He did some great things early, like set school record for wins in a year, 28, beat Notre Dame and become the winningest all time Monarch basketball coach. We all know what happened at the end and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Glad he's back to his old self.

I can't believe you guys listen to sports radio so much. Look out your dang window, what a beautiful day. Enjoy joy the light!

I liked the way he always had our team up when they played vcu in Richmond.

Great to see BT back on his feet.

Repeat post

Again a repeat

I am sure he thinks he is to Good for the area. Figures this is a stepping stone till something better comes along. Tony on the other hand is going nowhere ever. He hates the area and cannot get out. He does love those that kiss his big fat A&&. ODU does not do that at least not anymore. I cannot explain the relationship he had with the Ladies team in the 80's and 90's. I know he made a number of the members of the women's team very uncomfortable.
So want we really need is someone who has no future on another level, but is not a pervert and loves this area and all it has to offer!!
Just a thought!!!

It is great to see that BT has his life back on track.
He was always a great guys whenever I ran into him on Shore Dr. He was always accommodating to us and seemed very interested to talk basketball or just about the area.
Yes most of the time it did include beverages.

2008-09 season my buddy and I drove down for the Duquesne game during Christmas break. We played pretty good ball and ended up winning. After the game was over we went to U. Pie to celebrate with some other people and sure enough Blaine came in later that night. Obviously now we know where that led but I had a conversation with Blaine that he or I will never forget and for that, hes the man.

I introduced myself, told him I had one question for him. I said whats your plan for Larry Sanders. Brief pause with a question back from him asking if I went to VCU. Told him hell naw I bleed blue Blaine. He leaned in close and said,"We're gonna break his f***ing legs" and died laughing. After the laugh he then said no just kidding. Larry is a good ball player and hes going to be tough but we have quite a few guys we can throw at him and thats what we're gonna do so he cant get comfortable. The guy had character that was overflowing. It was sad to see his downfall but great to see him turning it around.

The BONE BREAKER!

Great story Mo' Blue. Many ODU fans will have similar stories from different times.

He told a story about his Dad hiring him to work at his wood mill. Blaine said his Dad told him "hiring you is like losing 2 good men". Thought it was funny at the time, now I wonder if that wasn't a brief glimpse into one of his demons.:(
