Soundoff on WHO 13

[dinfantry11b]

Does anybody else watch this anymore? I used to sort of enjoy the show, but as of late they have become so ISU biased that I just end up shutting it off...For God's sakes, Keith Murphy had on a tie that was Michigan's colors last night...Coincidence...I think not. I understand that central Iowa media has a hard on right now because the clowns are going bowling and Iowa isn't...but sometimes they just make it far too obvious which school they lean towards and I guess that just gets under my skin a little bit, I ultimately have control over what I watch so I guess this may be a pointless thread to most people, just seeing if anyone else gets the same feeling watching that program.

It appears to me they pick on who ever is losing.

 

[wuppup]

We are sounding more like clone fans everyday. Boycott Channel 13!!!!

 

[Hawkeye11en1]

A Michigan colored tie?

bahahahhahhahahhaha

#hilarious

You are stupid

I don't get a feeling they lean one way or the other. They use whatever current mood of either team is to come up with something funny and make sure to pile on Nebraska. After we beat UNI earlier this year and Hawk fans started backing off the ledge a bit, they did the radio Soundoff spoof, which was probably the funniest one this year. They basically mocked the fans that call into the show and the phrase "Kirk Ferentz Saves Lives!" was born.

It's just too easy to pile on Iowa right now, so I'm sure it can seem like they're being haters, but at the same time when the Hawks lost to Arizona and they did the Podolack character saying "Is this what it's like to be a Cyclone fan?" I'm sure Cyclone fans took that as a jab at them. I've seen it both ways on that show and it's usually funny as long you don't take it too seriously.

 

[dinfantry11b]

lol yeah I figured I'd be critisized...I guess this season has turned me into a delusional clown-like Iowa football fan. My apologizies for even bothering with this.

 

[Hawkeye11en1]

Sex sells.

I mean, making ppl mad sells.

I mean, ppl getting mad over nothing sells.

Ah crap, I don't know what I mean.

You are stupid

Yeah I forgot having the right to voice my opionion(something I just spent a year in the Afghanistan mountains to help defend) makes me stupid..sorry I'm not up to your standards my man.

I love the fact that you helped defend our country, but I hate how you chose to bring it up when it has nothing to do with this.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

For me they are espn wannabes. Andy fails especially. I would guess he didn't ever crack a starting lineup in his life

Weak. Don't play the soldier card like you're the 13th stripe on the American flag. Soldier card only work's for discounts at Denny's and pats on the back. He didn't tell you that you can't voice your opinion, he was just voicing his which a year in Afghanistan or not, he has just as much right to do as you. Go be a cop somewhere.

Yeah the soldier card can be overplayed. I know plenty of guys that went on to play soldier from my class and they were pieces of **** when they went in and pieces of shot when they came out.

I may be mistaken, but didn't Murph turn down an offer to join ESPN many years ago?

1. First of all, thank you, thank you thank you for serving overseas. You are a true hero.
2. Second, no post on this board is stupid. These are all anonymous posts. Say what you want to say. I have been called "stupid" (more or less) more times than I can count. I just don't care - there is plenty of stupidity on this board to go around.
3. Keep posting but don't ever take anything personally (remember, it is all on an anonymous basis)

 

[dinfantry11b]

Yeah realized that was completely stupid right after I posted it...Apologizes...complete contradiction...You all have the same right to critisize my opinion just as I do to have one.

I haven't watched that show in years, probably because I can't stand either one of the hosts (or any sports reader in the Des Moines TV market for that matter). Andy Fales strikes as the type of guy that thinks he is way funnier than he actually is.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

Yes Andy fales appears to have a very high opinion of himself that I don't feel is warranted. IMO. Good day

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

Murph isn't bad.

 

[ibahawkeye]

I haven't watched the show since the Sunday Night Football game went to NBC. I like to catch the Hassel videos when somebody posts them on here as I think he is really the only good thing about the show but I'm not staying up that late for it.
