Hank, The Dog

Looks like Hank got hungry at the Racing Hotdog's expense...

Cut poor Hank some slack.  He had a bad day yesterday:

Caught Homer's show yesterday. On the day of a huge sports story for MU, MU's play by play radio announcer, Homer (named probably because he is a Pack Homer) spent the first 40 minutes of his show ranting and raving about Hank the Dog's issues. I do not get that sense of priority.

And then spent most of the rest of the show talking Aaron Rodgers and the Packers due to some Colin Cowherd statements. Pretty poor showing by the flagship for MU. Sports Comm team should get on that.

I heard his sidekick (sorry 1st time listener and forgot his name) ripping on Wojo for speaking in a monotone voice yet almost crying when he mentioned his family. He thought it crazy that a man would cry about that.

That was Mitch Nelles. He often time takes the anti-Homer view on MU as a foil, I'd like to think it's a bit staged. One of the "why would anyone cheer against Madison, even if you went to MU because they're not real rivals" crowd.

I listened to the show yesterday hoping to hear some MU commentary. Was sorely disappointed.

Man, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I tuned in specifically to hear about Wojo and hear some good news about MU hoops for a change and I have to listen to Cowherd's stupid remarks about Aaron Rodgers and they ran his clip like 100x. WHO CARES!!!

Normally I'm a big Homer fan and love listening to him, but he totally blew it yesterday; Wojo becoming our head coach is way huger news than a stupid dog mascot or what some blowhard talking head thinks about Rodgers's effort in the playoffs.

Please apologize Homer!

Agreed...I don't typically tune into Milwaukee sports radio (1250 or 540), but thought I'd listen in yesterday...sorely disappointed.  I'll leave that off my dial til I need to listen in on games.

I missed the first hour yesterday.  When I turned it on, I was immersed in the Arod/Cowherd sports opera, thinking that I had missed some vital discussion about Wojo.  Instead, we get the ESPNized pop culture, he said - she said this, crap.  Thanks for Kardashianizing sports ESPN!!! 

Cowherd has 0 analytical skill and Homer is about a 2-3 on that scale.  Thunder is about annoying as it gets and reminds of a male cheerleader who was also the leader of drama club in high school.  In other words, he's Rob Schneider in that famous SNL skit:  Richmeister.

Frankly they reply to tweeters and texters (especially Nelles). If you ask @espnhomer might get a response but otherwise expect packers/brewers/badgers talk.

I think Mitch went to UW. He is clueless with that statement.
