Home Depot couldn't care less. As someone who's worked in advertising, it's all about the ratings. Unless of course there's a specific promotion that says 'come into Home Depot and say you heard about us on the Matt and Miller Show for an extra 10% off' ... and Home Depot's employees actually follow through and enter that information (that a customer said they heard about it on Matt and Miller) into their system. Then Home Depot can prove their advertising is effective on the show with actual numbers. Otherwise, Home Depot is more interested in how many people listen so they can keep their name in front of as many people as possible.

You are quoted above and my guess is u won't admit u are wrong...
Ps are you 33?
Serious question: how do advertising agencies know if somebody is listening . . other than a survey card at say Home Depot? I know I have never been called on the phone, etc.
Okay sorry to derail the topic at hand here BUT...
CycloneJoe,
what is your problem? ever since Texas has said their staying you've been all this is bad for iowa state HOW? the south endzone could be bowled in, more exposure, and we get to butt heads with Texas and OU every year, granted we're not at their level, (yet) so what it's called competition, thats why you play the game sure we may be able to call it a loss this year, but hell who knows next year or the year after, we could be at their level, i have full confidence in CPR and CFH that they can succeed in the (new) Big 12, 10 conference. just my .02 cents.
CARRY ON...

It is nearly imposible to tell exactly how many listeners you have when you own a radio station. They just base it off of advertising history, and wether or not they see results.
I don't get how people pile on Matt as much as they do. I swear some people here will go bonkers on anyone if a topic isn't talked about with Cyclone and Gold colored glasses on and there is even a hint of it not being favorable towards the Cyclones. Seriously, talk radio is there to debate both sides not just be another marketing tool to put ISU on a pedestal. Do I always agree with Matt? No, but I think he does a very good job of "keeping it real" and for the most part is pretty level headed and realistic. He's not Martha who used to shout over any caller that debated with him then hung up and ripped the caller while they weren't on the phone anymore to defend themselves.
You don't have to go far here most days to find some thread where someone takes an article or discussion from a radio show and try to play it off as anti-Cyclone. News for everyone, most people in the media are not out to trash the Cyclones!!!

I stopped listening to east coast elitests a long time ago. They have too much fun listening to themselves and putting down people that they find to be lower than them. Turn off KXNO. Stop listening. If an elitest giggles on the radio, but nobody was listening. Did he even giggle at all?
I can't understand who cares if Iowa-ISU is a bigger game or not. I could care less if it is bigger, smaller, the same, or not even played. The whole thing is meaningless, ISU needs to get better and win games and compete with teams in the Big 12. Doesn't matter what Iowa does and it really never has.
Fail point for Giggles. If he countenanced BOTH SIDES .. you would be correct. He doesn't.
Matt assumes that both teams will be playing great ball in 3-5 years. What happens if Iowa slips to #67 and NE gopes to #4 rated - woill that be a rivalry gamne at that point. Football is about recruiting and NE will graciously try to steal all the in state/regional speed guys from Iowa when visiting the players.
Kirk :cute: vs Bo
I was with you until you got here...
When did "you're a ******" enter the common lexicon and what exactly does it mean? If you call someone a "doucher", are you suggesting they're female? Are you suggesting females never change their minds? So many possibilities - I'll ask my 15 y/o son when he wakes up - I'm sure he'll understand...
This is also what Mizzou is saying. We cannot afford any more Chiz or McD years. We need to up our game. Hilton needs to get magic back and JTS needs to sell out. Nonconference will be three games.
Maybe we should alternate UNI and Iowa games, play some Dakota team and a MWC team. What would be your three teams?????
I agree Carl I refuse to listen to matt the AZZ**** anymore.....
Why validate what the jerk is saying about Iowa State....
You guys are gonna have to face the music that its all about Iowa and Nebraska now and its the rivalry thats gonna get played up ALL YEAR LONG...
Its Iowa ......then Nebraska................ Oh there we are ISU

Don't worry, it's a common phrase among 18-25 year old males. I don't use the term, I prefer the classical, D-Bag instead.
I think most of us are invalidating what he is saying.
You are correct . . their new schtick is Iowa/NU since boy genius has alienated himself from most Cyclone fans. He knows it, we know it . . and he taint gonna change. He is 33 you know!
But is hard not to listen out of morbid curiosity . . Giggles is like Andy Kaufman reincarnated and he looks like him too! Remarkable resemblence:
