Both Jarom and Spencer have voices that are too high, they can be grating.

Brian rambles way too much. I could also use more substance and less fluff. Really, 15 minutes on Pokémon Go? They also need an old guy on the show to provide a little history and context.

Jarom does a fine job

boyblue

8/25/16 1:21pm

Come on Jarom is below average, the guy in EQ is a great comparison

OC Coug

So true! The giggle fits have to stop!

Ktar

8/25/16 5:01pm

it's sport talk radio, half of it is giggle fits in general, not jus BYUSN thing

boyblue

8/25/16 5:51pm

Agreed, it's common place for sure, and it just bugs me. Not sure why.

Ktar

i especially like his incoherent yelling and uninteresting takes.

Jarom is pretty good, I'm actually surprised both

Avery

Actually that should tell you all you need to know

Im a fan of Jarom. Funny guy. Good foil. Often disagrees with Spencer.

They have a good dynamic. What I really want is an additional show with players, not a replacement.

Phaedrus

8/25/16 2:05pm

Agree. And yes, Criddle is really good too.

Dr MoBYU

8/25/16 2:10pm

I like Jarom. He really knows his stuff. Spencer is good on play-by-play, but

logan is worse IMO

nashty

8/25/16 1:32pm

Former players aren't always qualified to host talk shows.

CosmoK

8/25/16 1:40pm

the only former player i really like is pitta. alisa was ok

nashty

8/25/16 1:51pm

The best is Riley Nelson hands down

CougarPilot

I really enjoy the entire hour of AFR.

DB Cooper

8/25/16 1:57pm

hmm, you enjoy the times when Dave McCann is speaking?

mtnKat

8/25/16 2:13pm

McCann doesn't bother me in that capacity. He could, however, improve on the

DB Cooper

8/25/16 2:20pm

I cannot stand Dave McCann. He's annoying, his announcing leaves a lot to be

Skysthelimit

8/25/16 7:29pm

I wish AFR would spend more time breaking down film and less time on their little carpet field.

Kajdin

8/25/16 2:14pm

I agree. I usually fast-forward past their green carpet segments.

Skysthelimit

8/25/16 7:29pm

I have to mute it when they do the count down to Arizona bit. Ugh...

ocmyhome

8/25/16 2:40pm

Agreed. I've never said it either, but I've always felt that he is not supposed

Jarom > Spencer

Bwest

8/25/16 3:34pm

Took me awhile to warm up to Jarom. He's fine

qwerew

8/25/16 3:56pm

Jarom has grown on me. I love BYU Sports Nation. Spencer is legit.

CT98

8/25/16 4:45pm

I have nothing against Jarom personally, but he is SO LOUD!

Ktar

8/25/16 5:00pm

I agree, if that show were hosted by two former players I would watch it

pappabear246

8/25/16 6:12pm

Does Ben Criddle on ESPN960 not count then?

ldssdl

8/25/16 1:53pm

My biggest issue with Criddle is the frequent big gaps of dead air.

DB Cooper

8/25/16 1:57pm

I listen to every hour mostly. Day interviewing Chad Lewis, least fav hour ever

Y4LYFE

8/25/16 2:30pm

It's too bad because Chad Lewis is always a great interview.

DB Cooper

8/25/16 8:05pm

was Criddle a walk-on or did he earn a scholarship...not that it matters

Avery

8/25/16 1:58pm

Was a total unknown walk-on. Sweet story.

Dr MoBYU

8/25/16 2:11pm

Both Jarom and Spencer have voices that are too high, they can be grating.

oldrugger

8/25/16 2:01pm

I like the Mike & Mike formula

FrozenCoug

8/25/16 2:08pm

I think Jarom is better as an announcer.

jsjohnson1278

8/25/16 2:48pm

Jarom is great, spencer is good

lukeskywalker

8/25/16 3:33pm

Brian is excellent. Ever watch AFR?

Bob Vance

8/25/16 4:10pm

Ever hear Brian try to talk about sports other than football? Yikes.

Beest

8/25/16 5:00pm

yes, but rarely.

lukeskywalker

8/25/16 5:21pm

Good guys but neither played. No real knowledge than the rest of CB.

Everyone is a critic

And this is the person they are catering to and the market they will continue
