The Roundtable is definitely the best show on there. Used to love them during lunch time. Haven't heard much of them in the morning but 3 man front is ok. I wasn't expecting much from them I guess. Way better than the Opening Drive that the RT guys replaced.

I enjoy three man front. Nowhere near as good as the round table, but infinitely better than opening drive. I’ll take that trade every day of the week.

ETA: The thing three man front is missing is personality. It is dry football talk which I don’t mind.

It's not good but none of the shows are. Cubelic thinks he's the only guy in the world that knows anything and has always come across as a colossal douche. I guess that's better than a finebaum who actually knows nothing.

I quit JOX a long time ago. I couldn't handle the Jay barkers, Tony curres and finebaums of the world. I like tide 102.9 unless Martin Houston is hosting.

I strictly listen to Sirius now. Greg McElroy and Taylor Zarsor have a good morning show. I really miss Bill king tho. That was the best college football show of them all.

I actually like it

It’s not nearly as good as the roundtable but I try and listen when I can.

I kind of like it too. I miss the round table midday but 3 man front is certainly better than opening drive.

BTW, Jay Barker is back on the air now in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.
Show starts at noon. With Lars Anderson.
It started a week or so ago and it is marginal at best.
Jay just is too goody goody to be a radio host.

He tries too hard IMO and it hurts him overall.

Nothing is worse than listening to Wes Neighbors fumble through a show, commercials, and the English language. Drew Darmond has gotten better and is at least attempting to be unbiased or least as unbiased as a Bama beat writer who worked a tide pride can be. Huntsville sports talk is the worst I have ever heard. I miss Bill King.

3 Man Front" is a new lunchtime sports radio show on WJOX in Birmingham, AL


I listen to it at lunch like I used to the Roundtable. It needs some work. The guys are good, the chemistry is bad. Cole is the best of the bunch.


But it is still better than the opening drive. Anything to get that insufferable douche Jay Barker off the air is a positive. I miss Al Del Greco, but he was such a Gus apologist it was difficult some time.

After nearly 2 pages of responses from almost exclusively Bama and Auburn fans. I have learned that most of us want better college football talk on our radio during our work day.

102.9 or 100.9 in Tuscaloosa. That's the Tuscaloosa sports radio station.
In the early morning is Martin Houston. Not too bad for general Alabama knowledge.
Then it's Wimp and Barry Sanderson. Better than you'd expect. Interviews some good guys including the likes of JC Shurbett and Max Howell.
Then midmorning I believe is Gary Harris then Travis Reier, Bama talking heads.
Then it's Jay now. Later it's Ryan Fowler, who thinks he's good because Alabama has been good.

Jay's show is on 94.9 in Birmingham. Show starts at noon. Not sure how many hours it's on.
