As someone who has not listened to Swain much can anyone quickly explain what the backstory is to his "for what??" sound byte that he plays all the time?

I've not heard it, but I'd guess it's the "Third Down For What" adaptation of a famous rapper's song. They play it at home games.

Also, better get your flame suit on.

Its Swains version of the Monday night NFL "cmon man" slogan if that helps. Maybe they do it on Sundays. Hell I cant remember.

Swain was talking to another former player and Swain told the guy about the team running 52 110s. Dude said "For what!". He's Been using it as a segment ever since.

Swain and Stokes are awesome! Both are as Orange as it gets and put out a great show everyday. They are just 2 young guys trying to make a living on their own terms while covering the team they both Love. If you can't support and respect that then I feel sorry for you.

Big fan of the show, but the app drives me bat crap crazy.

I love the new app, the old one use to get on my nerves. The new app has the hot keys that are funny as heII. You are right, Swain's show is really good and is bottom line, the best sports radio show in Ktown.

Go Vols

Love swain, best radio in Knoxville by far.

I agree. It's a shame the entire TSR bunch couldn't stay together and get on an FM station. Since TSR went down, I've listened to 99.1 sporadically and am reminded what a joke the Sports Animal is. The only decent segment they have is 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoons when they talk to Coach Majors. A two year old monkey could do better than Doc, Jeff, and Heather. Josh, Will, and Jimmy Hyams act like they are God's gift to broadcasting. Very sad. Jason and Seth, hang in there.

If you are talking about the 10-15 minute long 'for what' segment where they talk about crap current events - I agree 100%. When that segment pops up, I'm out.

Stokes is still on air and I think that they've done a really good job recently of recognizing how to play off of each other's strengths. IMO the show has improved a lot over the past two months.

I stream it every morning here in Charlotte, they've got a few kinks they need to work out, but it definitely helps me feel more plugged in. There's a few things in the show that I could do without, but for the most part they're doing a really good job and I hope they keep it up. :good!:
