Does Bo Bounds even watch the games? He comes up with these dumbass takes to where I wonder if he even watches college football games. He just puppets whatever Bartoo says to the point it’s embarrassing.
Bo Bounds Show
- Thread starter MSUDawgFan86
- Start date
Bo said MSU -10.5 @UK was too high. His sidekicks go deathly silent like you could tell their mouths fell open. Bo then stammers and says "Don't you think?". He listens to Bartoo way too much.
Thank You. He thought it was too high. The other guys were like nah. I’m ok with differing opinions but damn give a rationale. Don’t just go pft and say **** like “I think fans in Starkville are overconfident.” “This next 3 game stretch is going to be tough.” He said it like there is definitely a loss to him in there. Bo kills me because he acts like the next 3 games is murderers row. It’s not. It’s a decent Kentucky team but it’s Kentucky, a really, really bad Florida team (which he refuses to pull Mullen’s cock out of his mouth long enough to admit), and a good but not great Auburn team. He just sounds like he’s not impressed with what he has seen in Starkville this year and I’m just curious why. He thinks LSU is going to get us in Baton Rouge. Smh I don’t get it.
I understand UK is a SEC team and better competition than ULL but their defense is not going to shut our offense down. And their offense is not going to score at will on our defense. I expect this to be much like the K State game. Bo acts like we have Peter Sirmon as DC again. I don't understand his thinking.

he interviewed matt Wyatt and Matt said fitz is pretty great and if he plays like that he will beat anyone in the sec. Bo kinda went silent and then changed the subject. He said MSU seemed uninterested Saturday? I don’t think he means half the stuff he says he just likes to get fan bases riled up. He goes out of his way to prove to everyone he’s not an MSU homer (which he Is). He does have a weird obsession with Bartoo. He takes anything bartoo says as the gospel and If you disagree with it then shut up this is my show type of thing. I enjoy his show though and listen every morning.

Kentucky presents a real opportunity for this team to open the remaining eyes and ears of tired old media. I hope we take advantage of it.
Give me a reason how you know we are better than UK? We each are 3-0 but they have a higher quality win.
You could certainly make the argument that 10.5 is too high. I think we'll cover that, but he's right, MSU fans are probably overconfident.

You can make an argument but a flimsy one not really backed up with any statistical evidence. Florida isn’t a higher quality win. Florida is really bad. Kansas State could beat Florida. Kentucky barely squeaked by them. State has manhandled everyone they have played. Kentucky’s 2nd best win is Central Michigan. Yeah they lost to Kansas and are 0-3. Kentucky was leading that game 21-20 at halftime.
My statistical reasons are State has played an even strength of schedule as them at the very least. State is ranked #8 in total defense and #12 in total offense. Kentucky is ranked #40 in total defense and #59 in total offense. State is better on both sides of the line of scrimmage than them. State is better at QB than them. State is better at running back than them. State has a better coaching staff than them. State has overall better WRs and playmakers than them. Somebody help me on the overconfidence thing.

After hearing that Matt was impressed with Nick's performance Saturday, Bo said something like "but you know Nick isn't ever going to be a super accurate passer"
Matt came replied something to the effect, "never's a strong word" and then gave 3 examples of why he was impressed with the performance.
Bo also got taken to task this morning by a couple of LSU fans. Bo thinks Orgeron isn't a good coach and can't win the SEC or NC at LSU but wouldn't or couldn't give reasons why he felt that way.
It's fine to that opinion of Orgeron but give reasons to back up your opinion.
I like his show and listen to it most days but it would be interesting to hear why he thinks this.
I think it has to probably do with something Bartoo has said about Orgeron.

Y’all do realize his entire goal is what is happening here. Get message boards and fans talking about him. Then they will probably tune in at least for a little while on the next show to see what he might say.
Bo is a moron with a radio show he uses to pimp himself and push his Y’all garbage. He knows very little if anything about sports. I stopped listening a few months ago and just keep my radio on XM Channel 84 in the mornings. It’s unfortunate he holds that time slot hostage because there are so many other people that would be better at a morning sports show that actually know sports. He is such a cuck to his OM listenership that **** can’t be going as great for him as he reports.
Some of y’all that know this jack-*** in real life, is this really how he is or is this all a online personality?

Yes, Bo started ranting about how State started off sluggish on offense and looked disinterested when we had the ball. His producer/cohost then pointed out that we scored TDs on each of our first seven possessions. Bo pauses for about 3-5 seconds and then says something along the lines of “yeah but they didn’t make it look very easy.” WTF? Does he even watch the games?
Everyone knows Bo likes State and has always leaned towards MSU fandom away from his job, so he feels the need to go out of his way to sound objective. Which means that when State is doing well and there’s not much to complain about, he has to make up some bull that comes off sounding ridiculous.
Higher quality win? Based on what? You don't get extra credit for a win just because the opponent had 'gators' scrawled on their helmets and you beat em for the first time in 30+ years. In UK's highest quality win they squeaked by a rebuilding UF with the margin inflated by turnover points on the last play of the game. In our highest quality win we destroyed k-state in a stadium they are historically very tough to play. Now lets talk about the lowest quality wins. UK struggled to beat Central Michigan at home. The same CM that got blown out the next week by hapless Kansas. Our lowest quality win I suppose was ULL where we briefly trailed by 3 in the 1st before reeling off the next 49 points and our scrubs trading TDs with them late in the 4th.
Las Vegas also validates the conclusion that we are the better team by making us a double digit favorite on the road. I am certainly not 'guaranteeing' a win, mainly because its ridiculous for a fan to do that, and also because anything could happen but there is really no question at this point who has the best team on paper and who has played better so far on the field.
Exactly, right now I would say KSU > FL and we didn't need any last minute defensive stand to win at KSU either. Based on the way we have put away our opponents and the way KY has had to play most of the game to put away teams like CMU and Murray St, I would say the 10 to 11 point line is justified.
I have never understood the hate (and that's a bad word to describe some of your feeling because you don't know him) for Bo and his show. Most folks have no idea how hard it is to put in an entertaining show with interesting guests for 3 hours 5 days a week, not to mention, talk for three hours a day on the radio. And I think he does a pretty good job at both. We are damn luck that the guy doing it is a MSU grad. UM would give their left nut to have one of their guys in that prime time slot. He tries his best to be impartial and he has to be to survive in this market. And to answer your question about how well the show is doing, my guess is that it is doing very will financially. I looked into advertising on it and the rates are very high. If you do the math on the ad dollars created, he's killing it. I get a little tired of all the Y'll Lifestyle stuff, but he's trying to create that brand, so more power to him. I hope he continues to grow and becomes a regional even national name like Finebaum.
So now it's not enough to score every possession. We have to score and make it look easy every possession. Jesus Christ. The deal is that he predicted state to go 7-5 or 8-4 and he does not want to admit that he was wrong. Same on LSU for him. He listens to Bartoo on everything. Bartoo was wrong on the K State game and will be wrong on the Kentucky game, just like he was last year.
Last year when the line came out where state was favored by 10, Bartoo went on a tangent about how
ridiculously high that line was and that Kentucky should cover with ease. I have not heard him this year but if Bounds is saying the line is too high it’s probably because Bartoo told him that.
Why don't you give the reasons you think we've gotten worse and/or Kentucky has gotten better since last year to swing the result by 38 points?
I'll even help you out:
- it's in Lexington this year instead of Starkville.
- they have a new JUCO transfer QB
That doesn't look like it's going very far to cover a 38 point swing.
I would give my left nut if I didn’t have to hear Bounds. I’m sorry. He is a guy only another pretentious douche could like. Give that show the Rob Jay or Chris Brooks and I guarentee you that would be the most popular radio show in the state. Or Brandon Walker. Or Jake Wimberly.
Thank you for your kind words. Each of those guys you mentioned have been given different time slots to give it a go and none can move the meter. They are all nice guys who can't draw an audience, who can leave anytime and compete with Bo or they can do what Bo did, which is start from scratch with a radio tower in Pickens and become the dominate sports talk show in the state. To each his own as to what you like to watch. You may like gay midget porn, and that's ok with me. I wont call you names and I'll defend your right to do so. I encourage you to stand up and be proud.
Bo Bounds = Barrett Sallee
Same approach. Say the opposite of what the public is thinking is right. Generate calls and ratings. Raise advertising prices.

I’ve known Bo for years. We coached against each and arrainged a few scrimmage games on the side. He’s laid back and not a douche. You can really tell about someone’s character when you coach against them. He’s cool. Interestingly enough, he’s never brought up the fact he has a show. And you’d never know it by talking to him. I’ve seen him speak at the 40club or whatever and he was kinda douchey.
It's the Bourbon, Kentucky made of course! There you will have the finest of palates available.
Bo strikes me as a guy that really doesn't even like sports. Like he watches maybe a half each of the State and OM games each weekend to kind of stay in the loop, but mostly just throws out generic BS and whatever soundbites he picks up from listening to other radio shows and sportscenter once or twice a week. I'm betting he would be equally as good/awful hosting a show about something other than sports. Garden-Mama with Bo Bounds "This week Bo welcomes Dave Bartoo to talk about tomatoes and petunias!"
I like Bo. I think he’s a talented radio host and interviews people well. I think the Y’all stuff is a good concept too. Seems like he’d be fun to banter it back and forth with.
He’s pretty objective from what I’ve seen.

Hang on, I like Bo and the show but he certainly does NOT interview people well. I don’t think he listens to his guests’ answers to the questions he asks. I don’t know if he’s looking at his phone, or the screen or whatever but he’s not listening to the point of going deeper than a One Question / One Answer dialogue.
If you want to hear a great interviewer listen to some of Tim Ferris’s podcasts. He asks a question and then LISTENS to the answer so that his follow-up questions offer greater insight into the guests’ thoughts.
Listen to Tim’s interview with Cal Fussman if you want to hear a great interview. Bo should do the same.
Lot of people wrong in this thread just like a lot of people were wrong Saturday night after the game with the meltdown.
Yeah, I think its worth it to bump this one back to the top and let everyone see their ridiculous posts from last week.......
What bothered me most about last week was everyone assuming we would win just because we beat UK so badly last year. Preseason, people were saying the same thing about LSU, although now everyone realizes we are not the same two teams as the two that played in Starkville last season. If last year's results are relevant, then I guess there is no way we can beat Auburn this year.
