Question to those who listens to Tony Basilio

[Sydney5000]

Who should the fan base listen to?

You can listen the the animal and hear them talk about oatmeal raisin cookies for an hour on your drive home from work on signing day.

Over the years, Tony has been very open (something I appreciate and admire) about his own struggles with things like depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder, exhaustion, as well as how the holiday season can exacerbate those things in him.

Throw that in to an absolute grind of a football season not ending until 12/22, I'm guessing he hit a wall. I'm glad he's taking some days to recharge here and there, and hopefully gets a lot of help with the basketball shows.

Well said. He’s authentic and hopes sharing his struggles will help others seek help and come out of the dark.

He is actually very witty, watch his twitter cast during the show, he multi-tasks often during calls and while the show is going on.

True. He usually hits the restroom when I call. .

Sports talk J and Dave Hooker are Both terrible!

Sports talk Jay is actually really good

I think he is a terrible. He isn't as bad as boogie Bentley though

I only listen to the sports animal for action movie reviews, especially after 3pm.

Both suck. They compete who sucks more. Who cares how much weight and drugs you lost or did. Even Swain getting annoying

 

[BULLET VOL]

Great show!! Very entertaining and very funny! He also does a lot for underprivileged children and gets his listeners involved. I used to love listening when Roger would call in. I also like Beano’s responses. Matt Dixon’s hatred of KY is awesome!

Tony just broke that Mike Keith will indeed be the new voice of the Vols!

Tony does about 10 shows a week, especially those long after game shows. i'd rather listen to his silliness that state-run radio all day. at least he's authentic and isn't a errand boy the university.

 

[beachvol23]

A lot of people don’t understand his sense of humor.

I love Tony and his show. When I travel from home and away from family I listen and I feel like Im back home. He loves God and the Vols what more is there not to like?

I lost some respect for Austin Price after he was used to spread propaganda by the Vols prior to the Oklahoma game. Whether he knew he was being played or not, he will say whatever is told to him so he doesn't lose his access.

Man, what a southern comment this was. hahahahh

 

[Jravol78]

Titans Bill has been doing that since the 90s. UT could be in a NC game, and everyone's mind is fixated on that, and Titans Bill will call in wanting to talk about the Titans signing an unrestricted free agent.

That’s a fact with my hand up my fine Christian friend

Lol well what can I say?

 

[615 Vol]

Older you get harder it is to keep your lies straight.

Ask him if Lovie is still coming?

The fact that everyone refers all the way back to Lovie Smith on a plane regarding Basilio (over 15 years ago) speaks pretty highly of Tony.

I love Tony. Hopefully it’s nothing.
