Am I the only one shocked that this is what Michael Dixon looks like? That voice doesn't match that body/face at all:

I suppose there are other non-hosts that would probably surprise me as well if I had any idea what they looked like.

Random…

Anyone have updates on radio rankings?

The Fan is habitually advertising that they are #1 in Dfw (i think they've done this for a while) but i haven't heard Craig talk about where the ticket stacks up recently.

Per reddit, The Ticket (or rather Cumulus) stopped participating in the Nielsen ratings at the end of 2025. So whatever 105.3 is saying is probably accurate based on the ratings book.

Interesting sell to advertisers. "We have no idea how many people listen to us."

They have pretty good numbers from streaming.

NEW: Joel Klatt says there are scheduling agreements in place for when the College Football Playoff officially expands👀

Big Ten Chief Operating Officer Kerry Kenny tells ESPN there’s not a specific SEC-Big Ten scheduling agreement being announced, as has been intimated publicly.

I'm guessing Klatt spilled the beans.

When Klatt said it on Wednesday, it came off as "I guess it's okay to say this..." to me.

Seriously My favorite ancillary 840 character!!!: The over-typing receptionist!

I'm sorry Coach Sirianni is not in this morning. Would you like me to transfer you to a cheesesteak facility? Have a Lincoln Financial Field Day

Didn't do it this this time but when she begins typing a couple word answer at a steady normal tempo but suddenly starts typing 10 times faster in a quick 2 second burst and then back to normal , I lose it every time

Still trying to power through the DZ but, man, TC has a bag.

I know…water is wet

Is TC a regular guest now? That would be rough.

I've pretty much completely given up on the DZ. Was listening to an episode or two a week and then just quit because it wasn't enjoyable anymore. Still love Dan and I like Blake, but Jake was not entertaining anymore, and I was a big Jake fan at the ticket and at the beginning of the DZ. It's like a great Texas country artist that goes sober and their music falls off a cliff. Jake fell off a cliff after getting sober (which made him high horsey and have to talk about being sober all the time and apparently just made him an angry human being).

He is more regular than he used to be. I think it's because Blake has competing priorities (the Cowboys game tonight, I think). It would be one thing if TC was mildly entertaining or had interesting opinions, but he's neither. He's Jake's fat buddy, and that's about it.

And Jake has three different M.O.'s nowadays:

- Cowboys defeatist (I'm not even a Cowboys fan, and it's tiresome)
- Political talk
- Sobriety talk

It's terrible. Makes me feel bad for Dan and Blake, who, like you, I like.

TC >>>>>>> Jake these days and it isnt close.
