Did he mention anything about it on his show yesterday or did he just act like everything was normal?

I didnt listed to the show yesterday and he's refused to answer questions about leaving for months.
Someone on Twitter stated he would have to wait 3 months before he could go to 97.3

You're not going to get that with the JOX Round Table. The Opening Drive and Finebaum were the only two shows on that station that did wall-to-wall college football coverage every day.

He's going to the new rival station in BHAM. 97.3 the Zone. The program director for JOX, Ryan Haney, left for the Zone as well

I actually prefer the Roundtable to all of the other WJOX calls although LT and Brown have become very hommerish over the last couple of months. They're still better than Barker's douchebaggery and the Fbaum 'tards

He's been national for about two years. He's on Sirius. One thing you have to give the guy, he's a very good interviewer. Knows what questions to ask and rarely throws a softball.
Oh and Bella, he's been keeping quiet about it for months now. He had to go to court for all this crap, and I think it end with him saying screw it I'll just walk away.

The Opening Drive? Wall to wall CFB? I respectfully disagree with this.
