Robin Cude does a really good job when I can pick him up. I use to enjoy 96.5 when they did sports. Now it’s horrible and basically people regurgitating what was said on Fox News or CNN. It’s even worse on 101.9, if that’s possible. It blows my mind that people watch or listen to political junk for entertainment.
 

One thing locals teams or people can do now for relatively cheap is podcasts. There is a local guy in Huntingdon that does one on Huntingdon sports. It’s free and pretty entertaining.

Cude does a great job! And agree!  96.5 is terrible now.

It’s not like we have our own football channel. We have great people that volunteers their time like 615 Preps. I’m sure they make a little money but probably not much. Just guys that started a gig to

West Tennessee has always been treated as the stepchild of the rest of the state.  This will never change.  Maybe when McWherter was Governor we got a fair shake but not before and not since.

Speaking on middle TN we felt like that years ago when we only heard about Memphis and East TN schools. Most of the coverage starts out as someone volunteering and going out and starting their own. Ma

From my experience in broadcasting the folks that watched the games were either out of town or family of a player, band member, cheerleader, etc. If you have a kid playing or you really want to go to the game you are going to buy a ticket. Also, I personally saw numbers of tickets sales actually went up for schools that had live coverage. Seems crazy, but it is what I saw. I think it comes from better exposure and folks talking about the games on the air and around the community. There are some really fine broadcasters and productions in the WTN area. There is also some trash. Broadcasting is hard job. You either have it or your don't. If you think you just pick up a headset and start talking you are sadly mistaken. When I would get done broadcasting a game on Friday night I would be completely gassed at the end of the night. 

That's the Biden way of claiming an increase you big dummy.  You are comparing post covid to covid years of which there were two in a row that substantially affected attendance.

No. I should have shared my timeline. The numbers I saw were from 2015 - 2017. Dummy is the nickname your sister gave me.

      We are optimistic because we will have another great season. You should keep your opinions on your Forrest Rocket board. These kiddos at Marion have had an amazing off season. They are working hard and it is showing. Coach TStark is getting these kids scholarships to get their college for free. Also Coach Harm is back so this is another awesome thing for our kiddos. Forrest will get theirs when they come to Bill Baxter Stadium this season. My main men Sam, Tay and Tilton are going to do amazing things this season. You should just watch and see what these kiddos are capable of doing. The Marion County Warriors are a force to be reckoned with again this year. East Robertson will be a good team again but that is the only big challenge this team will have again. If we can beat East Robertson like I know we can then we will go to the state championship and win the game. As always it is a great day to be a warrior. Go Warriors! We are Marion!

      The player is only able to go because of the coach who is his dad. The dad is a recruiter not a good coach. HC blamed him for losing the Clinton game in the playoffs.
