He used to post as cpech56 on here before he got banned and had a Hawkeye loving blog called Molded Mouthpieces. He posted about how delusional ISU fans and CW were on there, I wish I could find it but the link is broken now

Isn't cpech56 the one being called out by a random poster that one time saying he owed him money? Good times
 
John Sears has ZERO credibility as a sports reporter in my opinion. He is a devout Hawk fan and that's fine but he can not be impartial in his reporting. Just as I could never be if I were in his shoes.

I realize it will all work itself out in March BUT here goes.....

The B1G is a watered down conference in football and basketball. Any league with an unbalanced schedule is. Nothing compares to the Big 12. But for some reason national pundits just have this unabashed love for the B1G. Has Iowa played well lately? Hell yes. Has Iowa got some timely breaks due to injuries and star players being out? Hell yes. Beat Wichita State without Van Vleet. Beat Mich St without Valentine and with a Valentine that was clearly not himself after the return from surgery. Hold off Michigan with Levert not playing. But somehow these are great wins and they solidify Iowa as a top 10 team. Beating Sparty without Valentine = ISU beating Oklahoma without Hield or KU without Ellis. I have a feeling if Hield happened to get hurt in warmups and ISU won the national media would devalue our win. Blows my mind that Iowa is getting so much credit for beating good teams that are not at full strength.

The last good team Iowa played at full strength was ISU and they lost. But even that fact gets lost in the national narrative. So many pundits are essentially giving Iowa credit for winning at ISU even though they did not because of the collapse that took place. Make no mistakes, Iowa had a lot to do with that collapse - but so did ISU.

Win tonight - win Saturday - win next Monday vs KU (and if that happens you are probably looking at 2 Big Monday takedowns of the #1 team in the country - or at worst 2 takedowns of top 3 teams) and we are right back up the polls. Again, I know the polls don't matter but I just hate the fawning over Iowa and the B1G. Hell, ISU is 2-0 against the B1G this year....

Rant over.

Maybe not the smartest sports guy, and obviously a Hok fan, but I think he's pretty good about not being biased on TV. Even on Twitter he does a good job. Same with Keith. I like him as well but the idiot who runs the SoundOff twitter leaves no doubt about who he goes for.
 
I heard that Murph & Andy show on KXNO is not airing today. Anyone hear this? I know the Morning Rush didn't air.
 
I'm just annoyed that any post on Facebook by local media outlets about the Hawkeyes it doesn't take many comments if not the first one for some tool to find a eay to bash ISU and same goes with any post about the Cyclones doesn't take long for Hawk fans to say something stupid too. The guy that annoys me the most is probably that Todd McNualty guy that always trolls any post by Keith Murphy, WHO/soundoff, and about any local media article posted. Do these tools just jerk off waiting and thinking about the next stupid thing they will say when one of them posts something? So tempting to comment back when I get annoyed by one of them but that's exactly what they want so I just watch the back and forth other fools will go with them.

I hate the Hawks but I don't make it my purpose in life to find a way to make sure I voice that every chance I get on social media. I'm sure we have a few like that too amongst cyclone fans but seems like whenever iowa does well and isu doesn't a bunch of them come out of the woodwork and you don't hear a peep from them when they get their butt kicked like they did in the Rose Bowl.
 
Didn't see soundoff, and haven't watched for a while. Also didn't read all 8 pages of this thread. Why? Because I feel the same way about Andy and Sears today as I did a year ago. Or 3. And what is that feeling?

**** Andy Fales and **** John Sears

It's as easy as that.

Cpech56? I remember that guy. He had that super angry meltdown where he started attacking CWill and other mods before getting banned in a blaze of glory. What a wackadoo.
 
Williams had on twitter his shows wasnt on today due to the holiday so I doubt theirs would be.


So people don't listen to sports on MLK day? The national shows were on.

Agree and that Jamie Veintcher(?) guy who is an ISU fan does the same thing on Murphs page.
 
I generally like Soundoff and Andy but didn't really 'get' that segment. At least the NDSU trolling segments were funny and a little self-deprecating. This one...?
 
Losing a starter to injury will do that.

Not to mention a Hoiberg Hangover. This isn't about X's & O's or blame or fault. It is what it is. The circumstances that have surrounded this team haven't been easy, and more than the casual fan would have any clue about. But it happens when adversity hits, change, and a new sheriff in town. Our guys have not all been on the same page with that change, but I still have hope. I hope Monte's comments are genuine about being together, that they fight like **** for each other & their coach, and NOT let it stray the next time something doesn't go as planned.
 
Honestly I stopped listening to Murphy & Andy this fall when it became a love fest for Kirk 2.0 every week, and stopped listening to their other local shows too. Pulled the plug on watching channels 8 & 13 after both sent 4 reporters to the Rose Bowl, too extreme of coverage for me. Basically listen to CF podcasts and national sports shows. A lot less frustrating this way.

It is shocking to me that you guys continue to engage a known Hok turd like JackTrice3 (aka Hawkfan27 at HN).

I keep forgetting that I can make it so I don't see bs I don't want to waste my time on. Need to start putting that ignore function to use.
