And he wrote it all from a hotel room in Miami after watching the game on TV. That pretty much sums it up.
Oh, be nice......"A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little men."
Did we actually read the same piece? I liked it actually. Talked about restoring trust in the program, the "it" factor. And you are kidding yourself if you think that came wasn't as ugly as he described it. But an ugly win is still a win.
Yah . . it was an inspiring positive piece . . of crap. Have you ever heard the expression, "back handed compliments?" Keeler TOTALLY FAILS to comprehend just how great an accomplishment PR just pulled off. Any decent writer would accentuate all the positives of this upstart program.Quote:

I could have written a great column on Jesse Smith alone. But pudgy likes to meter out his approval as if he were some sort of sports authority.
So far you've just said it sucks, but haven't pointed out a particular passage or section of it to explain why it sucks. I thought it was a good column, and was very complimentary of ISU.Quote:

Some of you on this board really need to lighten up some. I just read the column and I didn't see anything wrong with it.
What "jab" did he take?Quote:

Sorry, MadClone, can't agree. I don't always like Keeler's work, but I thought his column was just fine in this case.
What does never cease to amaze me is that a fair number of Cyclone fans seem to feel that Keeler should write nothing but positive stories about ISU and that he is apparently obligated to act as some sort of Des Moines of the ISU PR department.
I would say, because he is responding to a post on a public message board. I'm included in this, but seriously, anyone who posts on message boards cares what others think, it's the whole point of posting on a message board.Quote:
