Jamie Pollard on KXNO at 2:30 pm Thursday
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
I always enjoy listening to Pollard interviews, while at the same time am anxious about him going a bit too far.
What are you anxious about? I guess he's never been inappropriate or embarrassing, so I can't think of where anxiety would come from. I like the honesty he brings.
I'm 100% for JP. His honesty and not giving you "coach speak" is what makes his interviews great. Although, I feel like he can get on a roll in these situations, causing him to get a bit loose and say more than he intended. I don't remember the specifics, but there have been interviews where I remember thinking that I wished he hadn't said something (nothing nefarious). It's fine, it's what has made him successful for Iowa State.
I'll worry about Pollard when he costs ISU 6.5 million dollars in discrimination lawsuits, suspends an announcer for complimenting an athlete then not having the balls to have a press conference about it, and quietly extends his basketball coach's contract so the media doesn't hear about it.
Jamie is awesome and every time he's on the radio it presents ISU in a good light. I'll be listening for sure. 
TBH I personally enjoy listening to him throw his subtle jabs at TOE. I appreciate the fact that he really doesn't give a rip what some trailer park wearing t shirt fan has to say about him or Iowa State.
You just have to keep your head down and dribble right into that double team...
Okay, TODAY is suppose to be the day. 
Reminder for those that want to listen.

Lot of good insight from Jamie on how he got the job, what the job entails, etc...nothing earth-shattering so far.
Biggest news is him essentially just saying the re-entry policy won't change going forward.

At least another 18 months of construction on performance center.
By the way....not much appears to be happening at the construction site: https://www.fpm.iastate.edu/webcam/stadium/

Thats because right now they are only working on the utlities side of things. Real construction won't start for a while. The SPC construction contract was just finalized 10 days ago.
