Helps the site...helps the station....
Everyone plays, everyone wins, right?

Everyone please send him an email saying how much I suck.
Danny B. is the big ticket at KFAN and most of his show is schtick. I'm guessing most of you think Carl Gerbschmidt is a real person.
Hi Pantherhawk. How long before you are banned again?

I think the thing that baffles me about KFAN is that there isn't a spot in ANY of their programs to have an intelligent discussion of any college sports. I'm not expecting Barreiro to spend time talking about the Gophers. His show is "entertainment" - it's not sports analysis or sports coverage. You don't listen to his show to be informed, you listen to be entertained. I, personally, don't listen to his show much anymore. I already know what he's going to say about just about any topic that will come up. Plus, I get enough whining from my kids, I don't need to listen to a 50-something-year-old man whine on the radio.
Why can't KFAN find a different show to talk about college sports though? Football, basketball, hockey???

This is probably a question you should email to Chad Abbott, that is what this thread is for.
I'm nearly convinced you're the man himself. Dan Cole is schtick, Barriero is an egotstical dickhead who cannot get through the day without making sure, in one way or another, everyone knows how important he is.
I've been guessing Art is actually Reusse since last year...either that or a grumpy, sarcastic, trite and pessimistic person. Now that I think about it, it could be A and B.
Take a look at Art's posts...you won't find a single hint of optimism of support for the Gophers in any of his posts. You'll find plenty of pessimism, cynicism and a strong knowledge of the MN sports/media scene in just about every post. This would be consistent with the aforementioned cantankerous writer/broadcaster. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.
But does Reusse watch Seinfeld?
I found the programming on signing day to be pretty ironic.
You had Dan Barriero ripping the Gophers for signing a recruiting class that wasn't ranked high enough by the recruiting gurus. Meanwhile in Columbus the afternoon radio shows were reviewing the bios of the players signed, interviewing the local signees, and otherwise making a big deal about the incoming class.
I wonder why MN high school kids don't want to sign here?
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who doesn't take a vested interest in the program and then rips it is an emeny of the program. The people on this site who are critical do not fit into that category because they committ their time and money to the program and wish to see it succeed. Sid Hartman and WCCO don't fit into that category because they and their staff are committed to the U. Dan Barriero does fit into that category, and by extension, KFAN to some extent also does (I'd make an exception for Rosen).
