Holy **** Jason Sudekis and Sue Bird! Basically Taylor Swift and Michael Jordan!
This reminds me when the Hawkeye radio show on kxno had the PxP guy from a different school and they were in disbelief they didn’t know what the wave was. Iowa fans think the world revolves around IC sometimes.
By very few do you also mean the ones that Sudekis and Bird watched in Lawrence like a day before?
She was recently a guest on Peyton & Eli's MNF broadcast. She was on Coach K's podcast. She was the focus of a CBS Sports article/interview with Aliyah Boston just a few days ago. Sporting News just named her its co-athlete of the year. ESPN just posted an article ranking the top 25 players in the country this morning listing her as #1. 247Sports posted an article yesterday about her future in the WNBA. This in addition things like her State Farm TV ads just launching and Gatorade just signing her.
The only nationally relevant thing you mentioned there is Manningcast and that is even pushing it now with their ratings drop. The rest you have to go out and be searching for it.
Nationally relevant means it finds you, not the other way around.
The question was whether CC is getting attention from media outside of local/Iowa outlets. That's exactly what I listed. But now it's about whether CBS Sports, ESPN, etc. are relevant. Interesting pivot.
I would really have to go out of my way to find that stuff. Out of all of those examples the only one I saw was the sporting news thing because people were making fun of it on Twitter.
Kind of weird you know all of these appearances. Even weirder how much time you are spending justifying her on a rivals message board.
Mediocre hawk fans white knighting for CC on an ISU forum might be the most entertaining part of this
After skipping from page 2 to 31, I gotta say several of you are trying way to hard to minimize Clark's media presence. No, she's not MJ. Most of the country couldn't care less about women's bball at any level. But to say she hasn't made an impact and become at least a minor celebrity is silly.
