If it's about broadcasting, radio, TV, satellite, cable, this is where to talk about it.

Been there. Done that.

Many years ago, of course.

Didn't get a tee shirt, but almost got a pink slip.

Did Michigan request permission to talk to Coach Rod?
Did WVU give them permission?
If not, then does WVU have an interference lawsuit against Michigan for fouling up the bowl game?

Shopping list for West Virginia:

2) pro sports team
3) thicker skin

My first thought was publicity stunt.

Now back to beer and boobs.

He had face time on at least two local TV stations 6 PM news. Definately a stunt. :roll:

Yeah. Well, they need to grow some skin, too...

...though I wouldn't be the one to tell them...

Its one thing to tick off the listeners but its a whole nother(is that a word arp?) to piss off the all mighty advertisers.

:roll:
We should keep things in perspective here.

Even though nobody got killed, got cursed out, or had sex on the air, some people still are never happy...

It pisses me off that air talent can no longer be creative and run with something that will draw in listeners.

As for the advertisers, they should be thanking him for creating attention for Electric so their ads will reach more ears at a bargain.

The last time I checked, it is still not illegal in WV to dislike the Mountaineers...

I believe "a whole 'nother" (typically written that way, as far as I know) is a separation of "another" into two parts with "whole" stuck in the middle for emphasis...probably the original version of things like "un-freakin'-believable" and so on......

Splitting it properly, "another" should be "an other," but "an whole other" would just be wrong.

"All mighty" should be "almighty," though.

Thanks Arp!
After I reread the post I realized that I should have just said, "another" instead of "a whole nother".

But I wanted to consult the guru!

NOT a pub stunt, from what I'm told...just bad judgement on his part.

Maybe I don't know them as well as I think.. It's been a while. But for my two cents, I think Coach will be back. I also don't think it's a stunt. And now I await Crab telling me what a horrible DJ I was while I was there. These are the things that mettling (meddling? A little help here..) will get me when Bristol is the target.

So some sorry sod will have to pull his shift over the holidays.

Gee, that sounds like punishment.

I think I'd send clips to all the stations in Michigan anyway. For all he knows, his next job awaits.
