I am assuming that they will be talking about the Smith transfer. Listen in and post your comments here.

I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says " Shenanigans."
Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy **** on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?
You mean Shenanigans?

Agree... I listen to Chicago Sports radio for the most part, but I'll begrudgingly put on 540 to listen to Homer and Thunder to get a little local flavor, especially weeks after the Bears win. I like Homer, but the show quality is so poor compared to Chicago shows its comical and I hate all things Chicago sports for the most part... I can't imagine listening to the 2nd class (WSSP) sports radio station in the city.

No idea who these clowns are but:
- "Outside looking in, no longer has a bad taste about Maymon"
- "Vander Blue commits to UW then magicaly comes to MU"
- "You don't hear this coming out of Madison"
- "Don't care about tranfers. Crean had transfers. What bothers me is parents complaining about PT"
- "Newbill was on campus and they let him go. Raises questions."
- "Have to look into MU program and ask what is going on not-only with Buzz but Crean as well"
- "Buzz learned under Crean"
-
Is this the station with Spanky and Sparky?

Just Sparky; no idea who Spanky is.

- "Kids today have trouble adjusting from being the best on their HS team to working hard for PT in college"
- "Reggie said Buzz is the only coach who promised nothing (on youtube) and Reggie liked that. Problem with father"
- "Reggie should ask what do I need to do to improve to get PT instead of quitting"
- "Father should have encouraged Reggie to ask Buzz what he needed to improve in order to get more PT.
-
At first they questioned what is going on at Marquette but a caller called in and told them about the youtube video where Reggie says Buzz was the only coach to promise nothing and he liked that.
They played the youtube clip and now they are ripping Reggie and his father.
-
Was that a scooper that told them about the youtube? I was unimpressed the supposedly "best sports talk show in town" knew nothing of it.
-
It's not surprising they didn't have all of the facts.
These guys are just getting to the Rex Ryan foot videos right now. This was news last week, not anymore.
I expect their next topic to be if the Brewers should acquire CC Sabathia.

Was Buzz on 540 yesterday at his normal 6:00 time? Did he address Smith? Anyone hear it?
-
and this is the top rated sports show in milwaukee too.

Buzz addressed the transfer on his TV show this evening and said exactly what was written. Sorry he left as he liked Reggie but it happens all the time and is part of the way things are today. Regarding WSSP I watch Dennis Krause TV show on a regular basis and Dennis is a class act, when he is WSSP people on u can tell they have a dislike for MU by there comments and lack of knowledge in doing there homework. I never listened to WSSP and then when I heard of there ripping the poster it became obvious who greases their pockets.

Look at the other local sports shows....
Every local show on 540 ESPN does nothing but shill for the area teams (Dlist especially) or shill for the area teams and whine incessantly about the refs (Homer). The only criticism any of them can muster is for Favre.
Over on TMJ, Big Unit has Thompson and McCarthy so far up his rear-end, I'm surprised he can pass gas.
And even on 1250, only Sparky really has the guts to be critical of the Packers, Brewers or Bucks.
But, as usual, too many MU fans let their inferiority complex show and are concerned about harmless comments (which were retracted) on a radio show. What do you guys want? You have the main beat reporter (Rosiak) completely in the back-pocket of MU (like Homer, who should be ashamed of himself...he'll say plenty in private but doesn't dare to cross MU in public) and will never question anything about the MU program. There isn't a softer sports media anywhere in the country than in SE Wisconsin.

I dated a chick in high school nicknamed Spanky.

I know that the Youtube video should be clear-cut since it came from Smith's own mouth, but I think people are overstating the importance of it. It is a MARKETING video. They want MU and Buzz to sound as awesome as possible. Yes, I believe most of the video is true, but I think if you asked Smith what he was really thinking he would say something like "Coach told me if I worked hard enough right I would play. I work hard so I should be getting minutes right away" Players are confident in their abilities and sometimes coaches play into that. Buzz may not have promised anything, but Smith's expectations were still high. Doesn't mean it is Buzz's fault, but I just don't think this video is as damning as some people think.

So other coaches recruiting him are promising him PT and Buzz is stating what the video says and Reggie comes to your conclusion above? Then I say he needs to think, or the people talking in his ear needed to go away. And BTW he was "getting minutes right away."
-
Marty I think the video is clear with respect to the insinuation by some that Buzz "is deceptive in the way he promises playing time to get recruits". This recruit, who is now leaving, directly contradicts that. To me that totally discredits the insinuation. Buzz may have other elements of his style that causes guys to become disenchantied early (maybe his practices are too hard, maybe he doesn't communicate well with parents) but according to Smith's own words deception in the recruiting process was NOT the case here and I don't think is the case in general with Buzz. As to the forum Reggie could have said hundreds of equally positive things about Buzz for a positive video. I'm sure he chose to say the thing about "no promises" because that was his experience. With respect to this charge for me its case closed, move on.

Reggie might have said what you believe he was actually thinking, but it was just editted out. I don't think that the players were given lines to read and/or interpret.
To me, the disconnect is that when a player is told that if he works hard and "earns it," he will see the floor and then the player works hard and believes he has earned his minutes but still finds himself on the bench, he gets frustrated and might even feel that he was lied to. This would be particularly true with freshmen who have a limited frame of reference in regards to what "hard work" really is. A good friend of mine from HS played LB/DE at Michigan State. He often says that the biggest difference from HS was that if you let up at all in practice, workouts, film study, etc someone would pass you by on the depth chart. He also said that for a lot of the middle-of-the-road players (perhaps the football equivalent of a 3-star SG trapped in a PG's body) there was a level of paranoia because no matter how hard you think you're working, someone was probably working harder.
