This is our chance Raider fans!

Lance McAlister is practically begging fans from other b-ball programs to call in and talk hoops on his show. Wright State fans have been nowhere to be found on talk radio up to this point except KFX who sometimes calls in.

Let take over Homer talk radio and maybe Tom Gamble's show on 700 WKW,

Here is what Lance said on his blog.

The amazing thing............
about UC basketball conversation not being able to carry the sports talk conversation in February, and certainly March, is that no other fan base has stepped up to seize control, and take over as the team the area talks about.....not Xavier, or Kentucky, or Ohio State......or anyone else.
Instead of college hoops conversation taking on the tone of another fan base, it has faded away. Should be interesting to see if/how that changes in March.

Who cares? I'm not going to lose a minute of sleep if Wright State isn't discussed by a bunch of armchair coaches on Cincinnati radio.

Obviously you are not the only one who doesn't care. I do care, I want the Raiders to get covered a lot more than we are and this is a way to get it moving.

I'm not a fan of Lance McAlister. He reminds me of Cigarboy.

Everyone has some hangups, various likes and dislikes, but so what. Lance does a decent job covering and sometimes even promoting Wright State (so does Cigarboy) so let's turn up the Raider presence on talk radio in Southern Ohio. Let' increase our presence in this sports market. We can all help do that. So let's pack the Nutt Hosue and fill up the air waves.

I listen to Lance and like him. Although during this last week, the other dude was filling in, can't remember his name.....anyway, he goes on to say something like "one of the best coaching jobs in the Tri State this season has to be.............Charlie Coles!!" I about ran off the road! I couldn't believe it......then again, they are in Cinci. I was going to e-mail when I got home, but figured it wasn't worth it.

I actually like listening to Lance. If WSU fan are willing to call in then Lance will talk Raider hoops for 3 hrs. Even though it is based in Cincy it is broadcast in Dayton on 980 AM. His show is from 3-6 Monday thru Friday. After the Butler game he had nothing but praise for WSU.

In my opinion getting positive coverage in a city only 45 miles from Dayton can only be a good thing for us.

I hope some folks can call in this week.
