Iowa Beat Writers

[somecyguy]

I gotta tell you, if I didn't know who that was supposed to be I would not guess Clark. Now if they portrayed her ******** at the refs I might be able to identify that sculpture. I wonder how many hawk fans will mistake the cow for Bluder?

ISU has been top 5 in attendance for years, but iowa pulls one year out of their butt and we get this crap.

Be kind of funny if they lost.

It’s an exhibition so it doesn’t count.

 

[SolarGarlic]

That’s gonna be a half full stadium. Maybe less.

It's the Big 10. Their alumni bases are huge and wealthy, and it's Vegas. It will be sold out.

I'm really dreading seeing how many Iowa fans fill Hilton for the women's game this year. We need our fans to snatch up those tickets, or the bandwagon cockroaches will be slobbering from the balcony all game.

be funny if it got rained out

You can bet your ass the AD would love that. They are keeping every penny.

Won’t be surprised to see some behind our bench or at least mid court

Or wind blowing 25 mph so that Clark shoots 2-19.

I don’t think she would play if conditions are not ideal

 

[Cmonwhatarewedoinghereman]

That would be on brand. How many people would just walk out or no-show? Would be a total embarrassment if they have it at kinnick and only 5k people show up

I went to a UW hockey game against Michigan at Camp Randall, late winter 2010. They had to pause all night to re-ice.

Fun ideas but there's many reasons why they're ideally inside.

Said this in a previous thread, give wwb tkt holders 1st crack all other season tkt holders a chance then reset the price to $20/tkt. If they are going to come visit they might as well pay.

Meh there always are, the lady a few seats from me comes to all the ISU games but when it comes to that game she wears her Hawkeye gear every time.

 

[Acylum]

Never stops with this guy.

Never stops with this guy.

Chad gets special access because he gives the AD “special access” IYKWIM

To be honest, I think we would have done the same thing as fans...but not sure if our beat writers would have done that.

That’s my point, they (the tv station) are SUPPOSED to be impartial and they lead with a very minor connection of first one to congratulate a new record setter was a Hawkeye. Pretty pathetic to me.

They are not supposed to be impartial. They are supposed to cover local news. I agree it's a huge stretch to make a Hawkeye congratulating Taurasi on the record a local story, but it's standard practice in journalism to find the local angle on a national story. It's lame, but it's not journalistic malpractice. We need everyone in society to take media literacy and journalism courses. The amount of misunderstanding is frustrating. Everyone thinks they're a professional journalist.

Anyways, yeah, it was a lame headline that should've been a pass from the editors. But it was a social media post, not an actual story.

Gotta love WHO13 this morning...they run a 3 minute piece on all things Swarm including interviews with Exile and others ect...then they cut back to the desk and we hear "ISU also has a collective, WeWill" and next topic

Least surprising thing in the world. WHO radio isn't the only flagship station for UofI so is their TV station.
