I missed him covering football. It’s great to have him back
Freddie Maggard returning to KSR to cover football
- Thread starter TuckyFB
- Start date
This is welcomed news. Somebody over there who actually knows what they're talking when it comes to FB besides Nick Roush. I've really missed Freddie's insight and ridiculously detailed pre-game scouting reports.
Now, if they can find a replacement for the lady who hosts "Countdown to Kickoff", I'll be even happier. I'm sure she's a fine individual, but she is just awful to listen to.
Freddie is a great guy and has a great family. His mom and dad were two of the kindest people . His Dad passed away a bit ago and was a legend in high school basketball who played at Carr Creek. Wish Freddie the best.

He got the job at UK due to his work at KSR
He had a medical issue, forced to leave position at UK
UK filled the empty position
Medical issue resolved, now seeking new employment.

Not really. He wasn't fired from UK and by all accounts I've heard was doing a good job. Freddie left for his own reasons. Typically that means either health or family reasons. It's possible that the job demanded a schedule that he couldn't do.
Either way having Freddie back is a huge win for KSR. I'll probably start listening to the football podcast again.
Yeah he does. Roush is decent and getting better. Give him 10 more years of covering football and he might be one of the best in the area. He was another really good hire by KSR and one of the few that can manage a purely content driven show without the knuckle head antics. Roush's biggest weakness right now is just that he's young. Experience will fix that though.
Sadly, comparatively speaking, you may be correct. But that's also kind of like talking about the tallest dwarf.
I was listening to pregame a couple of weeks ago when he was on and a caller congratulated him for overcoming his addiction. Whatever that meant. Seems like a great dude that knows a ton.
Seriously.....come on man. I was listening too. He WORKS at an addiction center helping other people get over theirs in Danville is what he said.
Where do you people come up with this stuff? Honestly.
Thanks for clearing that up, my bad. I guess I heard it wrong. Thanks
Love Freddie. Awesome to hear he's going to be back on the beat. I think he adds so much to the Show/Site/Podcasts. Specially looking forward to his Signing Day coverage.
Yes. He pretty much called what was going to happen last weekend.
Yes he does...he played the sport, more than many, including me, on here can say.
Sisters played bball at nku and his uncle is Jeff Brohm no clue about any brothers though
Roush is awesome does a great job - love Freddie also but you don't quit your dream job without some heavy stuff going on. Wish him the best
Looking forward to the football podcasts. Give me some Roush, McGinnis, and Maggard. Those with Lorenzon were the dream team.
Freddie is ok, but he's all jabber and never listened on the podcast. I hope he has learned not to talk over top of others. Also, someone would make a point, and then he would just start rattling off stats on another topic and interrupt any flow.
Having had lots of interaction with Nick at road games, he is a very nice young man. He is always amazed how we show up for road games no matter where they are.

Reading between the lines it does look like it was an addiction issue. I posted months ago that was my suspicion. Was the only thing that made sense.
Either way congrats to him on overcoming. Huge accomplishment
Once, I was having a hard time paying the rent. Nick Roush showed up and gave me 5 grand to get back on my feet.
I also heard that once, he noticed a stranded car. It was raining very hard. Turns out, it was an elderly woman that had a flat tire and was choking on a French fry. Thinking quickly, Nick took out his trusty stockman pocket knife and performed a tracheotomy. He next changed her tire, and escorted her home.
Awesome guy.

People seem to think so. He should be our next governor. Maybe father some of our babies
Who said he wasn’t already?
