"unnaway and Brown on in the mornings way back when? I liked their show just as much before the station threw Lance on top of them. Lance was a hold over from one of their other shows that got the axe."
This is not true. Obviously you didn't listen to the roundtable.Lance has always been on the roundtable. Ian Fitzsimmons, his former cohost moved to Dallas to work for Espn. Now he's working for big Espn Radio on Freddy and Fitz. D and B used to compete with Finebaum. When WJOX acquired Finebaum they put D and B on the roundtable and it was radio magic. Lance is also one of the best salesmen they have at WJOX.

I am from Birmingham, and was in intern on the OD during college. D&B were indeed on in the mornings on AM 690. WJOX at the time was the OD 6-10, Roundtable with LT at Ian from 10-2, and Finebaum 2-6.
Ian left in 2008, and they hired this tool named Brien Straw to replace him on the RT with LT. Straw's gimmick was that he hated Alabama sports culture, and made fun of alabama fans every chance he got. Needless to say that didn't go well, and their ratings were terrible, and he was fired. One thing that helped the decision to fire him was that D&B's contracts were ending, and they said that they weren't willing to resign if they stayed on AM, so moved them to the roundtable, and the rest is history. One of my last days as an intern was the first day of LT and D&B. Hands down the best show that has ever been on JOX.

Obviously I did. See the intern's post above.
