Pancakes and Bacon also - with Kyler Kerbyson

Dave Hooker has some excellent guests - Ollie Lane, Cooper Mays, Jason Warren, Ron Slay, Fred White, Jimmy Hyams etc. so you can skip through the show on YouTube and hear the guests. Cooper Mays this week talked about getting ready for NFL combine. Some shows are better than others but the podcast guys are genuinely trying to discuss relevant SEC topics.

I have seen some very young guys try to do "sports analyst" podcasts that can be entertaining to see them try to emulate Brent, Austin and the Volquest channel. They may have 25 views of their podcast that day so give them a Like for their effort.

I like how Dave runs the show: to the point and entertaining - even if the takes can be ridiculous. He does a solid job filling in 2 hours of content during dead periods.
I tried to watch Pancakes and Bacon a couple of times. Felt like Bacon thought a lot of himself (maybe it's just his voice) and they would spend forever opening the show about what they did over the weekend. Quickly lost interest.

Hooker is in it for the "Clicks" he writes hack articles about TN sports knowing TN sports fans will click on them and then share them with their "friends" saying "where does this hack get off posting these crap articles."

UT alum Paul Finebaum, who was Sports Editor of the Daily Beacon, used that plan to parlay a job as a hack Bammer radio guy into a $multi-million gig on ESPN.

I can still hear people in Smokey's Palace at the old Student Center asking:

where does this hack get off posting these crap articles?"

Plus ça change ...

Hooker brings good info. Caleb Calhoun is a douche. But a lot of TN fans don’t like him because he is right on a lot of things. Most of VN thinks Elarbee, Pope and Halze need to be replaced. So does Hooker. I like him for the most part. Oh and he talked about the stuff about Nico’s dad wanting more lonely before AP did.

Hooker is an idiot. He always thought he was in the loop on football recruiting and he never got any of his prognostications right. Laughable fool.

He throws stuff around for ratings.Has a little clout because he’s Hendon’s uncle.

I learned from this post that he's still around. Last I heard of him, he had been canned from a third-tier radio station in Chattanooga.

I used to tell a co worker “I can wake up feeling great, money in my pocket, life is good & in 5 minutes with you, I’m feeling sick”.

I feel the same about most of Knoxville media.

He definitely lives here. I see him everyday at the gym.

Reed Bacon is the drawback of that show. Continuously uses the word "like" to the point of annoyance. The last time I watched the show, I counted 185 inappropriate uses of "like".

Dane Bradshaw was discussing Bob K and his influence on his broadcast career and gave him credit for giving direction to his work. After a practice interview, Bob handed him a slip of paper with the number 14 written on it. Bob explained that he had used the words "you know" that many times. If I know, then the information being presented is already old hat.

Volquest has a fairly good program, brought down with Austin Price's use of "You know" like most people use commas and periods. Totally annoying. Eric Cain is the youngest and most professional of the presenters on VQ.

Off my soapbox. I feel better.

I like YouTube channels that get right to the point. I can't stand long intros (looking at you Talkin' Vawls) or podcasters who start their shows with long preambles. That stuff annoys the **** out of me! Timestamps are always appreciated as well.

Who?

I don't disagree with Hooker. I would like to see a QB coach and coordinator of offense who could teach Nico or a Milton how to put some arc in long passes and use tight ends like Golesh (Princeton Fante in the red zone or short yardage). Neither would I mind a db coach who doesn't need a Mc Coy and Carter to be effective nor another Oline coach. I see several expendables on our staff.

You must of not watched all the games, they used Mile Kistleman a lot in the backfield in red zone and. he scored on a full Back run in the red zone same play that Fant ran while he was here.

You would need to listen to the podcast to understand. I didn’t read the article, but he was saying there should be a cap on position coaches. Recruiting is where the money should be invested.

The sky-high salaries for position coaches are hard to believe, even these days. Players with the aptitude for it would do well to struggle through the few years it takes to move up. Those guys are making serious money.
