On The White and the Blue board.  Don't take it as fact. Lincoln guy or not its another 4 hours of husker added to the 24 that already exist. Didn't Peter already fail in Lincoln? If husker talk fails in Lincoln how can it make it anywhere else?

Another boring Jay-sker jock sniffing homer?   Another "sports expert" who can't tell you anything about any other team and knows nothing about any sport but football and basketball?  Praise God for Sirius XM.

It would be awesome if a person would come to the market and not have a side and would question all the local teams equally without kissing any butts.  Can't be that hard to find can it?  Wouldn't their ratings go through the roof challenging CU, NU, UNO, Stormchasers and all that makes our local sports scene so great?  Oh never mind back to Dave Weber, Rossi, and Severe.

It occcurred to me a week or so ago, that I have not listened to USC or the sports stations in town for 3 months.   I haven't missed it.   Doesn't sound like I will have a reason to miss it in the future.   :(

And now it's all jumbled up at 1620.  Matt Schick will not take over Unsportsmanlike Conduct after all; he's leaving to join ESPNU.

Instead, John Bishop is leaving KLIN-1400 AM to be Mike'l Severe's co-host on 1620.

1620 also announced the new morning co-host, and it'll be Gary Sharp, who was one of the casualties of the Steve Pederson reign of terror.  He'll join Jason Peter on a new morning show that, best of all, starts at 7 am during drive-time.

I had hoped that it was going to be Gary Sharp.  Well rounded.  Will be able to talk about any of the major sports.  Not just football and basketball.  Strong in hockey and baseball as well.

Gary Sharp got booted from Husker Sports Nightly for being too critical.....

Can't wait to have him back.  Huge addition for 1620.

Setting the lose of Kevin aside this is a upgrade in all aspects with the Jury out on Jason.  I think Gary will keep him in check and keep the AM show balanced and not all Husker football.

I'm not a fan of the current morning show, so I definitely think Gary Sharp is a major upgrade there.  Not sure on Jason Peter though.  He can't be worse the Bahe though to me.

Hopefully when Shick and Nick leave they take all their GOD AWEFUL sound effects with them.  That would be the best upgrade they can make.

I can' hardly listen to the afternoon show anymore because the intern on that show is always playing the Stupid |expletive| Sound effects now.

Good content makes for great shows, not stupid sound effects!

Really glad Jason Peter is going to be on in the morning, I never listen in the morning.  Severe and Bishop should be a solid USC crew.

For what it is worth the 1620 web site now just lists Gary Sharp as the 7 to 11 host. I am sure it listed them both before. I just looked.  The afternoon show listed both hosts.

I'll never be happy about someone losing their job but I can definitely see why a change may be made.  There is only so many rhetorical questions and stuttering rambles I can deal with a radio host, it gets really old after a while.

Last Wednesday Shatel wrote an article on him:

Shatel: Ex-Huskers on the air aim to tell it like it is
“If coach Osborne came to me and said something, I could back off a little bit. But he hasn't.

“Look, some people don't like to hear the truth. If they want to ban me from the stadium, they can ban me from the stadium. I have to be myself.”

I never had a problem with his criticism of the program, I actually enjoyed it because it was upfront and honest.  I did have a problem with his whiny voice, rhetorical questions, and stuttering.

I gotta admit at first I wasn't too thrilled about the change in lineup but Benning is a really good co-host.  Everytime I listen he brings an interesting perspective to things and breaks things down very well.  Also, he has told some pretty good stories from the 90's without throwing it in your face or relating every topic to his time playing football a'la Jason Peter.

I like him, too. He really knows his |expletive|, which is more than can be said for a lot of local sports talk. Michael Grey is also good, and I appreciate the fact that he's not a Husker fan, so you get the outside perspective.

I like Michael Grey as well, he is very quick witted and entertaining.  Nobody has still been able to answer for me though why Petey Mac left the show (although I wasn't too heartbroken about that he was pretty brutal).

I guess I just always assumed he was lured away to be Todd N Tyler's sports guy?

That's what he was before he got the gig on 590 though.

I'm pretty sure Petey Mac went the way of Jason Peter. I know the Creighton fan base could not stand him when he hosted the pre game show, he turned one pre game show against Northwestern into Big 10 football talk, he was horrible.

REALLY horrible.  I remember one time he was giving his take on why Creighton bball was doing well and stated "In one word, swag" and then pretty much ended his synopsis from there.  That basically summed up his total sports knowledge, he can tell you the scores of games and names on the jerseys.

Damon Benning is a huge upgrade on 1620.  I didn't mind Jason Peter that much, but Benning is a major acquisition.  And let's be honest, both are MUCH better than the two clowns that previously held the timeslot.

1620 just posted that they will be announcing "Exciting news for the station....and nobody is getting fired." at 2pm tomorrow.

Wonder if they are going to join the CBS Sports Radio Network?
