I thought he was generally very entertaining on that program.  Just curious?

Probably talked too much sports.  That is a general no-no for morning programs, at least in Central Arkansas.

I think he is taking a marketing job at a company in NWA. He's good but getting up at 3am and driving an hr to go to the office 5 days a week would get old pretty fast and he's been doing it for 10 years.

This. Took another job. Has young kids. Tired of the 3am wake up calls, I'm sure.

Today was his last day I think. Being replaced by John Nabors, who I actually prefer. Ruscin's schtik was annoying. Dude was a prick just to be a prick sometimes.

Okay, you are right, I should have done that first instead of going off of what other people said was said.
So basically all my complaining was for nothing and I'm a dumbass.  I should have just watch the presser BEFORE commenting.

Pretty sure Tofu would have done me in too.

I liked Ruscin, but my lord DTS is just one continual advertisement. On the air for 10 minutes 8 of which is ads and then they cut to a commercial break.

Just getting back at the world for being laughed at when he used to cry on UATV.

We were sitting on the bus one day and there were 5 of us hanging out. There was only one beer left in the cooler and we actually all took a little cup and split it. It was a pathetic day in a rock and roll when five grown men have to be sitting there sharing a beer.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

I wish he'd take Nick with him.  I dont like him since he and marcus monk were trying to pull fast ones on the state by getting sponsorships for putting on basketball with the premise that it may help keep Malik home.  i hate hearing his voice. i hate hearing him speak of hog stuff especially with them doing what they did. 
Basketball is back, baseball always, football was a dumpster fire once again..... but as the phoenix rose from the ashes, BMF Petrino has risen again!!! Lots to look forward to.  <br /><br />As the rain falls, I realize, that some where out there, some one, is wearing a mask while they shower............

Nick is pain.  Squeaky whiny voice and a virtual reality of posturing.
Another reason I dont listen.

Yep. Every day its the exact same.

Commercial break from 4:00 (top of the hour) until 6 minutes after. Then they read a spot on the air for another commercial. Around 4:08 (8 minutes after the top of the hour) the show actually starts. Then you get 21 minutes of sports talk.

Then at the mid hour (4:30) another commercial break, this one for 6 minutes, then another on air advertisement. Show starts back at 4:37. Then 8 minutes of sports talk, followed by another break at 4:45 followed by more on air commercial spots for Red River Dodge or UCP. Show starts back at 4:52. Then 6 minutes of sports talk, and back to the top of the hour to start all over again.

You can set your watch by it. In any give day, there is maybe 25 minutes of actual sports talk per hour. The rest is either advertisements or Rick telling ridiculously unfunny jokes and Randy talking about things nobody in the world cares about (like the Yankees).

I knew I couldn't be the only one. Can't stand hearing the guy talk since all of that happened. He barely even played here to begin with. He made one stupid behind the back pass in a blowout and that's the only "highlight" I can remember him ever having. He regularly has some of the most wildly inaccurate takes I have ever heard.

Ruscin....DTS? You know Ruscin wasn't on the same station as drive time sports, right?  But yes the constant advetisements get old. From the seductions lingerie studio (family friendly huh?) to guests sponsored by various companies ( wally hall and deltic timber, trey biddy and macks prarie wings/asher wrecker service, etc)
That's right, you don't want to be the man to replace the man.  You want to be the man to replace Rory Segrest.

I loved listening to Derek and Tommy. Reminded me of sitting at the bar talking sports with my buddies. They had a lot of the same jokes and references that I use and so it felt familiar. I like John Nabors as well and look forward to him talking over.

I'm glad. Couldn't stand the way he said Toyots. It's Toy-ota not Toe-yota. Drove me crazy. Rant Over. Glad he's moving on not my favorite.  I like when Tyler Wilson is on because he is the voice of reason on that shiw. Tommy is good.

His bit a few weeks ago talking about seeing Jeff Long in a restaurant and worrying that there was going to be some kind of awkward confrontation.  I'm willing to bet Jeff Long just doesn't know Ruscin from Adam.

If you listened to the entire segment, Jeff knew exactly who he was and talked to him.

I love all you keyboard tough guys saying he sucks at what he has been doing. Most of you likely couldn't put two words together without using 27 and ums, and/or ya knows ( if even then ) and could not carry a conversation for 30 seconds let alone do it 5 days a week for 10 years when all he has to work with every day is Arkansas radio callers.

I never met the guy and likely never will, but he did his job well.

I didn't have any issues with his verbiage, it was just him in general that got on my nerves. Just the way he would act like anybody that called in knew absolutely nothing. Personally i don't know the guy and this is the only impression i've had from him. I'm sure some of that is to generate pub like some of the people that call into Bo's show. I do think Tyler Wilson does a good job on the show.

They think they would be the best radio host/d1football/baketball coach/nfl gm/nba talent scout/pbp guy/referee ever. Yet none of them are in any of those positions.

"Your Local Rowdy Gentleman" is such a terrible way to describe ones self. Seems like the type of guy who used to go to the high school parties but was no longer in high school.

Congrats to him, though.

i didn't mind derek. He was kind of a peckerhead sometimes tho. But, who isnt? Haha.  Nick on the otherhand, he was an idiot. A walkon who as one poster mentioned had the one behind the back pass in a blowout.  And they had him as the main expert on basketball?  Heres the deal tho. I could be ok with that if he and his pal marcus didnt try to screw the state over!  When he did that , im done.  He was dead to me.  They were trying to keep it quiet and acted like Arkansas had a chance to get Malik.  They KNEW he was going to UK! Heck, i knew it, ive mentioned it before, one of my nephews was friends with Malik and he told me a year before he was going to UK, that he spoke about it all the time, and yet Marcus and Nick would go looking for sponsor money saying it might do well in helping keep Malik in arkansas.  They knew all along he was never playing for the Hogs!  Their plan was to act like he was all the way until signing day so that he wouldn't catch any heat from Hog fans, then on late signing day, he'd pull a UK hat switcheroo and pick the UK hat and leave everyone at Arkansas surprised.   That was their dbag plan!

Thats why anyone who takes up for them shouldn't. Cuz they are bad people!  And even tho i think Crapilari is a dirty sleezebag, i give him credit in that he came in the Sunday after Malik visited Fayetteville  and told the Monks they needed to quit with the charade, he needed to announce for UK and sign in early signing period, and thats exactly what Malik did, he announced the next day, and signed with UK that Wednesday!  And he caught heat the way he deserved. 

As for nick, we have to hear his whiny , sleezey voice on the radio talking about the hogs like he gives a crap about the hogs.  He doesnt. Listen at him speak about the hogs.  So yeah, i wish derek would take Nick with him.  How Nick even got hired after that to talk about the hogs is amazing to me.
