Ricky Cobb: From Bored College Professor to OutKick Host with Nostalgic Humor

Ricky Cobb, the personality behind the popular Twitter account @Super70sSports, launches his new show, "The Ricky Cobb Show," on OutKick, bringing his unique blend of humor and nostalgia to the network.

"The Ricky Cobb Show," a new OutKick program from the personality behind @Super70sSports, makes its much-anticipated debut on Monday at 11 a.m. ET. Cobb, a longtime sociology professor at Moraine Valley Community College who joined OutKick in June, started posting about sports of the 1970s when he was "bored" in 2013. The X handle @Super70sSports now has over 773,000 followers and a wildly passionate fanbase.

"The show is an extension of @Super70sSports," Cobb told Fox News Digital. "I want it to include some of the best elements of what people like about @Super70sSports, so every show we're going to at a few tweets and have an opportunity to maybe kind of develop those thoughts further… whether that's extracting more humor from it, or whether that is having an opportunity to have a little bit of a conversation and a dialog about it."

Cobb's social media feed has evolved as its popularity increased. Instead of exclusively posting about 1970s sports icons, Cobb now unearths old advertisements and movie clips, offers his thoughts on classic sports moments, posts nostalgic toys and products, and even touches on current events. He hopes "The Ricky Cobb Show" does the same.

"I want it to be the kind of conversation that people are having with their friends, privately," Cobb said. "I want it to be a conversation about the kinds of things that people share with their friends, you know, if you got buddies, you text it to one another like, ‘Hey, did you see this?’ I want us to be covering that kind of stuff."

"The Ricky Cobb Show" will also feature interviews with notable figures that represent every decade and signature segments that celebrate Cobb’s unique voice.
