Nice to know that Cowherd is rambling about everything but sports.

I used to listen to Cowherd out in Vegas and didn't mind him for a while but then I kind of got sick of him. He kind of comes across as a sleazeball after a while. I oftentimes listen to 1430 out of Ames rather than Rome so I can't wait for that change.

Are you kidding me? I'll admit Kornheiser isnt' a good announcer, but his show is patently awesome.

Kornheiser is no longer on ESPN. His show isn't even nationally syndicated outside of XM radio. It isn't so much of a sports show even anymore, as a variety show. Today's show was entirely about the Oscars, for example. I still laughed about 5 seconds into it, but it isn't what it used to be, and I'm glad for that.

So is it live right now? Any idea what the progrmaming is going to be? Local content?

Listening to Mike and Mike this morning on my way to work was SWEET BLISS!

If people are getting burned out on Jon Miller "hawk talk", we have other options now there is 1700 A.M. out of Des Moines is ESPN radio, nice change of pace!

You mean Jon Miller's "wrasslin' talk". I don't mind going to ISU wrestling meets but seriously, talking wrestling on the radio pretty much every single day?? Oh well, at least it gives us a break from the Drake talk!

I'd rather talk golf than talk men in tights groping one another, I mean wrestling.

Don't kid yourself, the only reason for the constant wrestling talk is that iowa is a NC favorite. If iowa and ISU were switched around, there would be a lot less wrestling content on that show.

I just don't think he's funny. Just my opinion.

**Cy Hard** · 02-27-2008, 11:11 AM

The wrestlin' stuff gets me all excited with the mens muscles usin all der strumph.....love it!

**wonkadog** · 02-27-2008, 12:07 PM

I kinda disagree on the roles being reversed if ISU was #1. Miller seems to genuinely get excited about wrestling no matter who he's talking about. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Am I happy that Iowa is back on top in wrestling? No doubt about it.

Do I pay attention to every single ISU dual meet? No doubt about it.

I was driving home from Illinois on Sunday, and listened to the Iowa broadcast. When I got back into town, and after I spent time with the fam and got Grace to bed, my first call was to Scott Casber to tell me what happened between ISU and Nebraska.

I love the sport. I have the greatest amount of respect for Cael and am stoked every time I get to interview him.

And I want Iowa to beat ISU every time they take the mat against one another. After that, I want ISU to win all of their meets.

You can call me a lot of things, but disingenuous is not one of them.
