Iowa Beat Writers

ITYSL references are always a hit for me. Just always so good.

Hey Eickholt… if you’re here, Go Cyclones

I know that 247 thread went to **** but some of his analysis pre-game is embarrassing. The whole arguing with ISU fans for disagreeing about his blanket "Iowa is way more talented" statement is so cringeworthy from him. More talented teams don't get outgained by hundreds of yards each year.

Their punter is a legitimate weapon and completely changes the game. He started last season the same way. But as the season went on, he wasn't nearly as consistent in length or placement. Let's hope we get him on a bad day.

And as much as the punter gets all the love, they've had two straight AA kickers. When you can hit 45-55 yard field goals and your punter can punt 45-65 yards every time, it is very difficult to overcome.

We saw their kicker already miss one, and his second one barely got over the cross bar from 46. If they have to settle for FGs, it isn't the automatic 3 that we've seen the last 4-5 years.

Crystal ball stuff here! Good job!

Agreed. He’s a ******* hack and I *might’ve* found his burner on here. He’s one the most biased 247 reporters out there.

Dude is just a fanboy blowhard with a blog and somehow gets press credentials for it

In Capt Kirk's presser the were many obvious questions by the hok media regarding-- Do you have the right starting QB?
Nobody, of course, had the balls to ask-- Do you have the right OC?

‘Fanboy’ was a big insult back in the day. Sadly fits too many today,in my opinion.

I keep seeing Iowa writers mention CMC hasn't beaten Iowa in his six seasons on the job, while saying that also neglecting to mention we didn't play Iowa in 2020.

 

[Acylum]

The Chadster was shockingly critical in his DMR column today.

No, 2020 was a forfeit

Wow. Super critical of Kirk Ferentz. Blamed whole loss on Kirk. Chad is right but it's shocking to see.

Agree. Caught me completely off guard. He may see his access limited.

I picked up a DMR this morning. No doubt, very critical.

Wow. Surprised. Fire KOK, Fire Davis, Fire Brian. This is the offense the head coach at Iowa wants. Iowa fans do not like to hear that. And they don’t have a retort. Well, one said congrats on your super bowl.

Even Chad can see what the average fan can’t.

Ultimately the responsibility for their wretched offense is the guy in charge, KF. Not Brain, and certainly not Petras.

Squawk fans just need to take up a collection for the $42M buyout of KF . . . . .

From Chads column, it seems like Brian wanted to pull Petras, but Kirk wants to keep him in which is wild.

Kirk probably had this fed to help cover Brian’s butt.

OK here is what I've gathered over the last year on Iowa's main beat writers:

Chad - Lol where to begin with this guy. He worships Kirk and really likes Fran. Long time Iowa season ticket holder before he got in the industry. He has also spent some holidays with the Bohannon family and Jordan and him consider each other close friends

Eickholt - The worst offender by far. He has no credibility among coaches or the players. He'll try to write great things about the players so they'll allow him to go party with them

***The biggest thing with him is he pocketed his 247 per diem and shared a room with Frank Garza in Indianapolis for the NCAA Tournament***

Kakert - More of an Iowa basketball fan than football. He was legitimately distraught about the Bohannon news

Harty - Nobody takes him serious obviously

Doc - Zero credibility nationally because of his bias towards Iowa. He gets mocked a lot in the industry

Sanderson/Bock/Eickholt - All at the mercy of Iowa's football coaches, specifically Tyler Barnes. Barnes tells them what kind of content and how much content to put out on recruits or he'll make sure the recruits don't do interviews. They all willingly do it as they feel they are supporting the program they love by doing it

All of them are terrified of getting their credentials pulled and write and report with that in mind. There isn't a single person on the Iowa beat that isn't a huge Hawkeye fan actually.

Anyone or anything else I'm missing you guys have heard stuff on?

What bohannon news?
