Saw on twitter that folks are after some Derek Ruskin(sp?) guy?

Link? Quotes?

quote:

---

Northwest Arkansas radio host Derek Ruscin called an Arkansas player a “stupid arse”, “disgrace”, “loser”,

---

I didn’t listen but it seems like if he used those words to describe a player then he’s the loser.

Definitely to far but Turner does come off as soft. Nobody wants to hear how your job is hard.

Turner’s defensive effort has been lacking at times this year. A lot more pass balls than I’m use to seeing from Arkansas catchers.

Yeah I just heard it and that was a step too far.

it's a fricking mile too far from a pussy who couldn't hit a dodge ball with a wiffle bat


his boy Zach who runs their twitter account defending his words all weekend is also a little whining leftist vagina

Who do we have left? The state of Arkansas has such shitty radio personalities that no one can agree on who to keep or fire.

While this baseball team has been Charmin soft and the players/coaches really need to shut the frick up about Twitter and mean fans...Ruscin is a peacocking shitbag (and always has been) and he comes off pretty bad here.

Ruscin has been using the “durr Hog fans are crazy” strawman nonsense for years to gin up every argument imaginable, so it’s certainly ironic to see him try to white knight for Hog fans when he’s been shitting on and laughing at them for over a decade.

Also, his “not a real Hog” rant about Turner sounds like something pulled straight from the arse of your run-of-the-mill mouthbreathing Nobville poster with a room temperature IQ, especially now that the portal is such a prevalent aspect of college athletics. Muss's entire basketball team next season might be comprised of 1 year players between one-and-dones or portal guys, so I guess all of them are "rental players" and not "real" Hogs?

Don’t know much about the guy. The base of his comments are what I can go along with. Should have clarified in OP. The name calling was a bit far.

It’s started to come off the last few weeks of DVH and the team wanting to blame the fans for their struggles and getting in their heads, which is annoying.

Agree. It’s going to take some getting used to. Last year, Lockhart was a great addition. Lanzilli has been a good addition this year. I think Turner has been a liability behind the plate most of the season and now his bat has fallen below .300 which will draw criticism. Still, they’re Hogs just as much as Robert Moore.

Baseball for me will be the hardest to adjust to transfer portal wise.

He and Tommy Craft used to have a morning show for several years, wherein Craft played the quasi voice of reason to counterbalance Ruscin’s jackass strawman argument dumbassery. He has a new show and partner now, and his shitheadedness is apparently no longer kept in check as much as it used to be with Craft.

Ruscin’s shtick was/is to make ridiculous strawman arguments that our fans were crazy and had unrealistic expectations and/or didn’t know anything, which he often propped up by citing the most absurd, benign thing from even the furthest reaches of Nobville or Twitter (or right out of his arse), exaggerate the hell out of it, and extrapolate it as the widely held opinion of our fan base. I’m 100% positive that if he hadn’t been caught up in this self-inflicted shitstorm, he’d spend all week this week claiming that the vast majority of our fans want Yurachek to fire DVH and hire Tony La Russa or some contrived bullshite of that sort.

TL;DR he’s a massive dipshit who has made a living off recycling Nobville idiocy and pulling talking points straight out of his arse.

Who should be his replacement?

Who? Ruscin’s?

I don’t make a habit of consuming Arkansas sports media anymore, so I’m indifferent as to his fate. Just pointing out his penchant for dipshittery.

They could have a dog lay a big swirly turd in his chair as his radio replacement and there would be little to no drop off qualitatively.
