Anonymous Eagle is another good Marquette b-ball podcast.
Didn't know they had one. Whoever runs their twitter used to be a bit of a jerk so I stopped going to the site. Long time since I deleted twitter so unsure if that's still the case
None that I like. The hosts on This Week in the Big East feel like they're podcasting to an audience from 1988. Big East Coast Bias was good, but Rob & Chris are more interested tweeting about WWE than podding about basketball.Each program I believe has pods. Casual Hoyas, Banter on the Parkway (Xavier), VU Hoops, etc, but I haven't found a league wide pod I really enjoy since BECB went on hiatus.
Me: I graduated from MU in 1988 and am thus among the best audiences ever, and all podcasts should tailor their content and delivery towards us.Brew: Ok, boomer.
LOL . It's more that it just doesn't feel modern. Instead of a podcast it feels just like it was taken from an old radio show. The hosts are very East Coast-centric and while they include the other schools, it doesn't feel like there's as much of a focus there (Kevin McNamara is a Providence beat writer, John Rooke is the play-by-play voice for the Friars).They also favor sound effects heavily and are really suck-up-to-the-league in nature. I am sure that they are being paid by the conference, so that's probably by necessity, but if I'm looking for podcasts my expectations are higher. If they have a conversation focused on Marquette or an interview with one of our guys I'll listen, but I'd much rather they look to younger broadcasters. I think they would be better suited to have John Fanta as a permanent host with rotating guest hosts that focus on the various programs, like Ben Steele, Matt DiMarinis, or others of that generation.
I don’t disagree with your assessment of the podcast, which I suppose explains why I chose to infer a personal attack on me and my age mates.
Not that they are Big East specific, but Rob Dauster's pod as well as Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander's have been talking a ton recently about Marquette and Markus and giving him praise.There's a theory that Dauster is a closet MU fan as he has been singing our praises for a while now.
The Dukiet Era doesn’t deserve a vote on basketball podcasting.
No offense intended, was less about the age and more about it being from a different time. Sort of like how I loved Beavis & Butthead at the time, but now I watch it and it's basically one joke repeated ad nauseum. Some entertainment methods just don't age well, and the late 80s-early 90s dawn of sports talk is among that.
I proudly wear the scars of suffering through the lowest point(s) of MU basketball since the arrival of Al. Indeed, it informs my patience for Wojo’s growth, as I see potential in ways that rarely existed in my MU years.
Class of 1991 has the lowest winning percentage of any class since World War II.
