How can you not know of a player who had a standout career for an entire decade at your school???

I still love how Mr. Davis liked to use the 6'7 white guy as the shadow token presser.... Jess Settles came into Iowa his freshmen year completely jacked, that guy was put together. I swear he played 38+ minutes a game and was all out all the time.
 
Not only that, but it's not like we're talking about a player from 40 years ago, either. Someone that starred for the team in the '90s should not be so quickly forgotten...

It still pi$$es me off that I can't find video of the fast break, halfcourt alley-oop Kingsbury threw up to him and I don't think anyone watching it thought Settles had a chance to get it, but he did and slammed it home...

For those who are younger and don't know what "Fast break" means, search "Tom Davis, Iowa Basketball".

They have done this before and I have called in and set the story straight. Not going to do that with them any more. They are who they are, and folks that have listened to that station long enough know that they are over the top in some ways. They certainly break news, they serve some sort of public interest in the city, and they do things a certain way. Some people enjoy dirty laundry radio. Some don't.

I know one thing for certain; they appreciate people talking about it

Man, they are really hatin' on Jon now. "He thought he was going to buy this radio station but couldn't get the call letters right".

I told a friend a few years back when I moved back to eastern Iowa (in 2000) that it would be fun to find a station, raise the money and buy it and make it an all sports format. I looked at several stations and their radio patterns and signals, and I liked the strength of their pattern. That's about as far as the thought went.

No big deal. It won't be the last time someone takes a shot at me...it goes with the territory
 
This is simply jealousy on their part. They understand Jon has had far more success in his career than they will ever have, so they are taking shots at him. It happens all the time, as they'd love to have their piece of the pie. I have a feeling Jon understands this and is laughing all the way to the bank.
 
Sounds like there's probably some professional jealousy going on by a couple of big fish who are quite happy guarding their small pond.
 
I gave a call to KCJJ after the show today, not to discuss the sleights directed at me, but rather, the claim that I misrepresented what they had reported. I certainly don't want to that, as I hate it when others do that with what I say or write.

After discussing the timeline and what they posted, I see at least the origin of their concern.

I wrote that KCJJ was reporting that Lickliter would resign after the season due to health reasons. They initially reported that Lickliter would be gone after the year, resigning. They later came back and said that the University would cite health reasons. While it may seem like semantics to some, I understand how those are two different things. A correction had been made to the story.

Jon, that is BS hairsplitting on their part. What they reported was inaccurate - period.
 
Jon, hook us all up with HawkeyeNation gear and let's take over the station "Airheads" style!

LET'S DO THIS THING LONE RANGERS!
