The guy just oozes negativity.....
Angry lil feller- doesn't think J Long should have been fired...disappointed it didn't work out for his drinking buddy CBB

He loves the recruiting class being in the 50's...he has that childish 'told you so' attitude that makes a person want to puke.

He's not pulling for a turnaround...it's obvious

We wouldn't have cracked the top 40 with Bert.  And we all know Bert couldn't win unless he had a talent advantage.

Obviously I wish we had a higher ranked class but if it's the price to pay to rid ourselves of Bert, it's a small price to pay.

I think nearly everybody takes Bo with a grain of salt anyway. He makes his living talking about sports and drama sells subscriptions.

Be careful I mentioned the wee one in a post that was not nearly this negative and it lasted less than 10 minutes.

I went out and checked my truck.  Sure enough, the radio had buttons so the channel could be changed.   ;D

He used his platform to prop up a failing CBB and JLong - but is now using his platform to create dissension within the fanbase...

His glass is half empty w Coach Morris - strange he is not excited for change after the mediocre seasons we have been having.

Next thing you know...Wayne will be bragging about all the money he made in the stock market today. Come to think of it, maybe that's why BO was sooo negative today - he might have a big chunk of money in the market.

I don't know the reason why...but you could feel it through the radio.

I realize I can change the channel, I just don't understand the lack of optimism for a coach that has been on the job a month.

If someone truly liked Bielema, why wouldn't he like Morris? I admit that I really wanted Norvell, but now I'm pretty convinced we hired the right guy. Norvell was a flash in the pan and/or trouble waiting to happen. I can't think of one reason that Morris isn't our guy.

Bo is the king of DWI's.       His show is a joke.  Why anyone listen's to his a$$ is beyond me.   All that show is about, is ADVERTISING.

I'm really not trying to trash Bo....I've listened to his show for years and I know he likes to stir the pot, but it usually has SOME merit.

Now it more like a little child that is angry and refuses to be happy - even when change 'for the better' is happening in front of his face. He will dismiss facts to stay on his negative agenda- kind of confusing.

Just listened for about 10 minutes, but I didn't get negativity, just a bit of reality.  No matter how good you feel about the guys coming in, there weren't many of them, so that means we are going with what we already have.  How does that make you feel?

You bring in 25-28 kids and it's easier to find 5 or 6 that will contribute right away.  You bring in 14 and odds are there won't be as many to help right away.  That means whatever depth you had to end the year is what you still have.  Not a great situation to be in for us.  A team like Bama, not so much a problem because they have great depth.

Morris's success next year isn't going to be based on this recruiting class.  it will be based on whether he can get more out of our current team than BB could.

Bret wasn't a bad recruiter by arkansas standards, so Morris should have an average amount of talent to work with.

Great, thanks for the in-depth perspective.

On another note...why did he want JLong to stick around so bad? Was he in a business relationship with the guy? It's almost like he lost money on the deal ...otherwise, why would he even care?

Hell man, if you can listen more than 10 minutes you may need to re evaluate your time management.  10 minutes of Bo a day is all I ever give him.

There's no sense in nonsense when the heat is hot.

I actually heard Bo defending Morris to a couple idiot callers today.

One of our wonderful fans said that John L had a higher recruiting class than Morris...... despite the fact that John L wasn't hired until after the 2012 recruiting class.

Bart (I have no idea what he does - is he an intern?) on the other hand was being SUPER negative.

Bo actually cut off and hung up on tiger bait (yesterday) when he was making fun of our recruiting class.

out of 50+ calls....that is all you have. I understand there are exceptions - but OVERALL - him and his sidekick are negative about the future...in an over-exaggerated kind of way. I just don't understand the basis for ANY negativity...CMM just got here w a new staff. At this point we know nothing...Bo was VERY clear - he didn't approve of the JLong dismissal - and said CBB was 2 wins away from still being here (he is still in defense mode for some strange reason)

You have any quotes or anything else to prove your case.

I gave you two instances that I heard.

Bo kept repeating that the reason why our class was so slow was because Morris was hired late and that the early signing period hurt us.

I didn't hear him say that Morris needed to be fired or that he was a horrible recruiter etc.

I gave examples above about the JLong and CBB situation

....kept repeating we are WAAYYYY BEHIND, WAAYYY BEHIND (he doesn't know this)

....his minion called one caller 'stupid' for saying there may be talent on the team already from past recruiting

- not giving any callers credit for facts related to recruiting and how the numbers work - instead cutting them off to say IT IS WHAT IT IS - in a very condescending way. He was being a jerk and his sidekick was even worse. Something is strange....lots of butthurt in that studio
Sometimes it's not what you say it HOW you say it and the overall tone and attitude of the program. Amazing - fans feel a fresh start and BO is still hurt by the past in an obvious way. WHY is he still talking about CBB being 2 wins away from still being here - live in the present.

I think you are hearing what you want to hear.  Bo is a jerk to most of his callers b/c most of them are idiots.  For example, he went off on tigerbait and told him that the reason why our class was ranked so poorly (on Rivals) was because we were penalized for every spot below 20.  Dead silence from tigerbait. He didn't know how the rankings system worked.

The main thing that pissed me off is that he doesn't correct and cut off the callers more.  We have a chit ton of idiots who love to call radio shows.  I heard a caller blame his poor wages at Wal-Mart due to the stadium expansion.  It really hope some of the callers are plants just to get people to tune in.

Did you not read the examples in the above post? He is still arguing CBB would be here w 2 more wins and that JLong should not have been fired.

There are several more example in the post and more that was said...it's not just my opinion - I was with a group of 7 listening and nobody could understand the arguing and negativity. His overall tone was a downer...it is what it is. A guy was talking about the numbers and how they worked - Bo cut him off and said we covered that yesterday, let's not try to paint a pretty picture - this was one of the worst recruiting classes ever....c'mon that is crazy to put this class on CCM - he just stepped in the freakin' door.

Bo is typically the antagonist against the majority of his callers regardless of the topic. It's how he stirs the pot to generate calls, which drives listenership, which generates ad revenues.

And that's why you never see me complaining about Bo.  I listened to him once, changed the channel and now I hardly even know who he is.  Most of what I know about him is from what I read here.

He used his platform to prop up a failing CBB and JLong - but is now using his platform to create dissension within the fanbase...

His glass is half empty w Coach Morris - strange he is not excited for change after the mediocre seasons we have been having.

This after pimping Morris as the greatest thing since lace up shoes during the coaching search, and attacking and berating everyone who dared to think we as a program should try to do better if we could.

My ears have finally stopped bleeding, and my pulse rate has stabilized ... and it all started with turning the Alco-Hobbit and his merry band of ass hats off. Permanently.

Not at all...Bo is NOT a fan of the Razorbacks...Bo is a fan of the money generated off the passion of Razorback fans...and stirring the pot helps.
If and when Bo moves on he will not look back.

Bo is angry he lost his security blanket and does not have inside access he once had - it messed up his business plans and he's pissed.

....or he wouldn't bring up JLong and CBB still, the whole deal rubbed him wrong - because he WAS wrong. He said JLong is NOT going anywhere - two days later he was fired.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Bo would rather make excuses for his buddies Long and Bielema than having to work to have a good show.
