Starton is grouse! His Sam Newman is amazing!!

I didn't hear him yesterday, but I saw him do an Ian Thorpe on TV a while back. Spot on and hilarious.

 

[Registered User]

Ha! Yeah, his Thorpey is also very good.

 

[Johnson#26]

he does a very good gary ayres, too, and of course bruce.

 

[Registered User]

I've said this before on here somewhere, but I reckon he helped end Ayresy's career, coz he made him look like a bit of a goose

I remember Eric Bana doing a grouse impression of a 'generic' footy coach, which was clearly Mick Malthouse, where he used mixed metaphors and jumbled, inappropriate philosophical quotes, etc.

 

[Manbearpig]

Yeah you've got your Ayres', your Bruces, your Commettis, your Sheahans, your Newmans, your Thorpes...

 

[scout]

His Richo was very good. Was interesting to hear Starton develop the characters on the spot.

 

[AussieHool]

Enjoyed Finey's show last night with Steve from BUSA.

I thought the racing on Friday nights worked well too. Not sure who the race caller was but he was very good and had a bit of banter with Finey and Steve pre and post race.

It wasn't the kid that featured on their promos last week, calling the Cox Plate whilst going through puberty?

"So You Think. WOW!" in a breaking voice that reminds you of the teenagers in The Simpsons.

 

[jonesy86]

I think it was the guy that used to be on TVN... Adam something

 

[peternorth]

who's the lass on sunday mornings with richo and turfy? think her name's sarah?
said she was nervous reading out the overnight scores. i thought nervous was being generous...had trouble reading out the spanish league scores (ok fair enough if not familiar), but also had issues with the EPL. not so much with names but.....

i.e. chelsea 4 defeated bolton "too" (as in also not the number). had to check the scores online to see if it was 4-2!

 

[Daytripper]

Such a shame that Born In the USA has ended.

Am really going to miss listening to those guys.

 

[matt_897]

Yeah, the only show i make sure i tune in for, great listening. Enjoying this final sow

 

[red+black]

R.I.P. B.U.S.A.

R.I.P. SEN radio

 

[Warsaw]

Quality listening for so long, including now

 

[jonesy86]

The best thing about BUSA is that it is so far removed from every other show on SEN that it's great to listen to.

Plus being a fan of US sports is great as well.

 

[MacMum]

Thoroughly enjoyed last nights BUSA (as usual)...such a pity its the last one...

Steve, if you are reading this, will you pop in here from time to time to say hello?....would love to hear of your ventures back home etc...

Best of luck to you and yours

 

[paul scholes]

Unfortunately didn't hear much of the show. [reception at work is crap] I enjoyed the show because as stated previously was something completely different for the station. Some broadcasters here should take a listen to the excellent baseball commentary on the world series. The yanks have it all over us in the sports broadcasting stakes

 

[DoubleA]

Did Steve say in regards to what station he might be working on over in the states?

 

[AG]

BUSA Steve and Ed are guns.

 

[red+black]

SEN dropped from a 4.5% share to 3.8%, which is pretty bad when the period covered 28 June to 5 September.

The breakdown:

Morning Glory: 3.6
Hungry for Sport: 3.9
Forget the name of Doran's show: 3.7
Run Home: 5.0
Finey: 3.7

Bet they'll take a hit in the next survey with AFL over.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Jason Richardson: He used to be a camel jockey.

Mark Doran: Huh? You mean...

Jason Richardson: He rode camels.

Mark Doran: So he actually rode camels *unshits self*

morning glory cannot last much longer in it's current format with ratings like this.

 

[lihei]

Just put KB on for all morning with his ol' partner Dr Turf. That would surely see an increase in listeners.

Getting damn tired of PC clowns like Maher and Snoran and just clowns like Brownless who's form of late has been very ordinary.

Eddie's new show neck and neck with MG. He's pulling in 3.7s.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.
