I listen to Dave & Jeff on occasion. They are complete idiots when it comes to providing information about SDSU and the stadium. I have heard them say in the past that if San Diego built a new stadium our city would get the Super Bowl every 5-6 years. Everyone knows that is not true. This morning was just pathetic. www.1360sports.com/media/podcast-dave-and-jeff-davejeff/51815-dave-jeff-hour-2-26057464/It is no surprise to most here that SDSU has not shown much public support for this stadium and are waiting to see what the best option is for the needs of SDSU. It sounds like the preliminary plans don't include any monetary contribution from SDSU. They said SDSU is "looking for a way out of football; this is one of those things that might explain why they keep a guy like Rocky Long around." With regards to SDSU building their own 35,000-40,000 seat stadium or partnering with an MLS team: they said that was "small time thinking" and that SDSU football is "not worth spending the money to see the product they put on the field." I know this is the Charger home radio station so some of this is to be expected. However, I believe one or both of these radio hosts are SDSU alums. They should be embarrassed.

Clear Channel (or whatever they are calling themselves now) doesn't know what to do with this station. Their ratings now are even worse than they were when they were part of Air America Radio. I imagine if they didn't have the Chargers they would just go away.

Most talk radio guys are either too lazy to do the research on stuff or just don't care and they just regurgitate crap they hear in the media. I can't listen to Dave & Jeff, Sileo or Darren Smith. They're all flat out terrible.
Scott Kaplan is really the only guy on air here who has really put in the time to investigate the whole stadium issue.

I listened today as well, and I have to echo what a few have already posted. Its like they haven't done any research on the stadium issue regarding SDSU at all! It IS embarrassing. They REALLY are outta the loop regarding SDSU football. And while one caller pointed out that its no surprise why SDSU has been quiet on the issue and why they need a stadium for their own situation (the conference we find ourselves in), they still didn't seem to grasp it- calling it San Diego "small time thinking", and "SDSU is looking for a way to get out of football by keeping coaches like Rocky around". Like its a conspiracy. I mean do they even KNOW that dropping football means dropping the MWC? I mean, I want out of this dump, but not that way. Don't think anyone does.
I used to like listening to these two, and still do time to time, but its become a one-trick pony (Chargers) with these two, and I've stopped listening.

Somebody played too much football without a helmet.

Since they only have a superficial understanding of the situation someone just needed to tell them no football = BB in the Big West. I bet you they would figure it out pretty quickly that dropping football is not the goal.
Small time? lol. Is the B12 or another P5 conference more likely to ask SDSU to join if their football team plays in someone else's stadium with little or no school branding? Or their own stadium, with branding, complete control of revenue, and an actual college football game atmosphere? Lets count up all the programs who have moved into the P5 in recent years and see where they fall on this issue...
You know people are seeing things from their own tilted perspective when NOT coat-tailing is considered small time.
What is this disease that those who follow SDSU think it can go from middling to powerhouse without anything in-between?

Yet he and his friendly but talent-challenged sidekick bumped Dave and Jeff off the air: www.lobshots.com/2012/12/10/major-mix-up-at-xx1090-dave-jeff-gone-josh-charod-gone-scott-br-back/And if you want the Chargers to stay in SD at all costs, ya gotta love Kaplan.

My opinion of Kaplan has nothing to do with what he thinks or knows of the Charger situation.

And don't forget he was suspended by 1090 for his comments of the MW Network regrading his sexist attitude toward Andrea Lloyd.

I don't much like Kaplan, but, do find him to be provocatively entertaining.
The guy in the afternoon segment is much worse on air.

Agree that Kaplan gets props for being controversial and thereby stimulating debate. If 1090 replaced Scott with BR's clone so it became the BR & BR show, it would be as interesting as listening to paint dry.

Every single sports radio hack and sports writer in this town is opining to save their own ass. They see the writing on the wall, that if the Chargers go, their jobs go. So listen to and read them with that understanding.

He is obnoxious and I'm not a fan of his but I'm just making an observation on his work on the stadium issue.

Is it that difficult to build a facility that can have retractable way of " closing off the upper deck " for both Aztec football and MLS soccer -?
