Overtime with Matt Jones

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

The little rock radio show with Matt Jones and Trey Schaap ended about this time last year. It was replaced with a show called "Out of Bounds" with Big Dave and Sully. To those who still listen to 103.7 the buzz, what do you think of the new show after a year? Is it a step ahead of its predecessor or about the same?

[Peter Porker]

wow! It amazes me to find folks that listen to that station.

[jmb1973]

I think its total crap. Sully is an ignorant twit who just talks over people to try and make any trivial point and then cries like a schoolgirl when he doesn't get his way. I honestly feel sorry for Dave who has to share the show with him. I listened to a 20 minute argument the other day about Coach B's "pass" for this this year. It was the last time I will listen to that garbage. I wanted to punch the radio.

I've tried to listen to it, it is abysmal.  It fit's right in with the show with no name which is a waste of space on a sports talk station and the crap you get in the evenings which is actually drive time sports. 

Big Dave and Sully have agenda's it appears

[sowmonella]

The show is two guys talking over the top of each other trying to be the funniest one. Dave is the worst. Just bad radio.

[Seebs]

I listen to it sometimes when commercials come on Bo's show. I almost invariably switch back to listening to the commercials.

Did you know that there are now more than 60 Slim Chickens locations across the US? Did you know it all started in Fayetteville?

Proof I listen to the commercials.

Which is exactly what 103.7 management just loves, look at their flagship shows.

Another original thread.

[Andrew Hogfan]

its horrible

[hogsanity]

its horrible

just like all other shows that take callers. The shows are only as good as the callers.

I dont particulary care for any of them But at least DTS talks about the razorbacks. The other 3 shows barely do. I live in arkansas, i want to talk about the hogs. I dont care about any other school. I dont wanna hear about em

[EastexHawg]

Is Sully Eric Sullivan?

[pigture perfect]

I don't care for that show particularly. I am one of those shameful DTS fans though.

But really all that needs to be said most days can be done in 10 mins. I mean how many times do I need to hear jimbobscallywag call up, stumble through 45 andums, 25 ya knows, and 15 im just sayings before he gets around to whatever point he was trying to make, then ending with Go Hogs.

Another DA response from the peanut gallery too.

[Andrew Hogfan]

I agree most callers are irritating. But, still, all i want to hear about is the hogs

[Wildhog]

Haven't listened to the Buzz in ages

[Sed76]

Last time I regularly listened to Drive Time was in 2003. I recently turned it on and 14 years later it is exactly the same. Format, music and most of the same callers.

[hogsanity]

The listen to the 1st 10 minutes. ANYTHING Hog related that's newsworthy will be the headline.

[AirWarren]

You're so cool.

[ifghog]

I enjoy all the shows. You guys take yourselves way to serious. Lol. I have no vested interest...just get a kick out of them...

That's what I'm saying. My gosh, lighten up.

No one wants to hear how we lost perry, lost to mizzou, Hokies, and why/why not bielema is on the hot seat 24/7 365. How much "razorback news" can there be in a day. None!

Bleacher report gives more than that bonehead bo mattingly.

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

My bad guys, the show was overtime

[Potosihog]

I try to listen to all of the shows from time to time.  I find it difficult to do in the off season.

[onebadrubi]

The morning show all they do is talk over each other and sometimes their informative guest.  They actually attract good guest at times and when they have something valuable to say, they just talk over them. 

Overtime isn't much better except they just talk over each other.

[razorcash2]

Does anybody know what Matt Jones is up to after leaving The Buzz?

Hope he is well...

I commented on this after a few weeks of the new show last year.
Those comments were: Dave and Sully are sharp and know sports well. No complaint there. They're Arkies, so that's good. They know the state and the Hogs. My pet peeve was they talk too much...talking over each other, around each other, on top of each other. No one ever shuts up. Joe is another good voice, and I like his take on things most of the time. But that's a third voice in the ring. But at least he doesn't interrupt the others.
To me, the best shows have a 'ying and yang' give and take, similar to a play-by-play man and a color commentator. They take turns talking. The PBP guy will drive the broadcast and setup the color guy. The previous show, yea Matt would seem like he just woke up sometimes, but he had good comments and obviously a Hog legend. But in one sense that show was better as Trey Schapp would direct traffic and Matt would make his comments, or Joe. ONE PERSON TALKED AT A TIME and they didn't seem to be always trying to out-cute the other.
Listening to all the non-stop blather on the new show is really annoying. I still listen sometimes at lunch, but I can't say it's pleasing to the ear all the time.

[Uncle Remus]

I actually think the show is an improvement.  I loved Matt Jones as a player, but the radio thing just did not suit him.  With he and Schaap, you had two low energy guys who would rock you to sleep each afternoon.  You could tell that Matt was not real motivated to get the radio profession down as it really didn't suit his personality.  He struggled with commercials and other tasks that the job demanded and I commend him for stepping away and saying it just wasn't for him.  While Schaap is a good sidekick or a fact checker, he just was too dull and didn't carry the host job very well.

Big Dave and Sully are both made for radio.  They have energy, charisma, and the ability to cover more than just local and statewide sports.  I think they fit the spot well and have brought much more to the table than did their predecessors.  They are loud, they are boisterous, but they are good at their jobs.  Give them a listen if you haven't...they made the afternoon spot much better IMO.

The funniest Matt Jones moment was a time Dave Van Horn was a guest two years ago. Matt was trying to ask a question about a certain player who had won the NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR award...and couldn't recall his name! He was saying 'what's his name--'. Van Horn even had a chuckle and they finally just said the name. 'You mean Andrew Benintendi'.

Yea, Matt wasn't exactly doing a lot of preparation. But then at other times he would offer some neat insights, opinions, background, and recollection that only a guy like him could give. All in all, I had no troubles listening to him on the air. After all, he was Matt Jones.

Matt was great during hoops/NBA season. Great insight. The bad moments from him were balanced out by the info/stories only he would have.

I originally felt this way about their show but over time (no pun intended) I realized their show is just a 3 hour pissing contest. Just yesterday danny west was on to talk about recruiting. These two went on a tangent talking over danny for most of his segment. It was disrespectful and hard to keep listening to. Overtime definitely had its slow days, but when they were on their stuff jones and schaap were a baaaaad combo. Personally I would like to see joe franklin get a show soon. He's always shown himself to be knowledgeable on a variety of topics and hes repectful to everyone

Joe clearly knows his stuff. He's knowledgeable on a lot of topics and it seems he watches everything on TV, because he knows something about it.
And I find myself agreeing with most everything he says. He's a 'voice of reason'.
However he's probably not radio friendly enough to host his own show. Truthfully, you need a 'talker' to drive the show, and a more low-key guy like Joe to be the sidekick. You can't have two talkers or two low-key guys. Balance is what works. Dave and Sully are both talkers and that's the problem.

I wish we could have a combo of Mike, Acri, Pat, Vickery, and Bo throughout the day. I wouldn't ever change the station. Brains, experience, humor, and talent.

With the exception of Bo Mattingly, this pretty much describes every local sports talk show in the state.

Disagree with that about Randy 100%. I hop over there after 5 to listen to the daily hog update. Randy seems like he's reading straight off  news articles with little to no research. Doesn't bring anything compelling, like, ever.

[HognitiveDissonance]

Rainwater is the local version of Yogi Berra, with a history of famous malapropos. I have a print-out that is hilarious.
Such as: "Write down this number: Colonel Glenn Road"
Or: "Darrell Walker, originally from Chicago, but now an Arkansas native."
Or: "Springdale defeated Van Buren 10-9 in a heartburner."

But, I will listen to him anytime. I know he's a good guy. He's not a smart aleck. He's not trying to be cute. He's an Arkie. He knows the Hogs. He lets people talk, which is refreshing, compared to most radio hosts who lets a caller speak two sentences before cutting them off, or brow-beating, or correcting them.

The best was him reading an email from a "fictitious " name that had the first name "Jack". Trey Biddy struggled to stay on with the original question.  It's on YouTube.  Hilarious

Yep. He is who he is and doesnt try to be anything else. I can appreciate the realness

Dave is horrid at sports.  Just terrible. Sully can be knowledgeable, but he is so in love with himself.

Randy does ZERO show prep.  It shows!!!

You high?  The guy can't remember crap about the hogs, mid season can't pronounce starters names, and just is awful on air.  He is so dumb he didn't even understand when he got trolled on air by Jack Me off from
Blah blah Arkansas with a question.
