To everyone in the state of Iowa, Fred is page 6 news. To Randy, it's a hot-button topic four years later. Was does no one above him reign him in? It's a mess. He's truly our cousin Eddie.
Peterson: Fans are finally starting to accept that Fred Hoiberg is the Nebraska coach

Ha, until I saw this thread title, I had honestly forgotten he got the gig. I was one of those who was never upset about it.
Now, I wasn't happy he left Ames in the first place, mainly because I still don't understand wanting to coach for the Bulls, but it's certainly nothing I think about in my daily life. I probably would have forgotten he coached the Bulls if I didn't live in the area and got to hear about it daily.
As others have said here, I think Randy is the one who's still trying to come to grips with the reality. I also think it would have been a lot different for most ISU fans if he had landed a gig in the Big 12. With Nebraska's NCAA history, we probably won't have to ever play them.

That plus the fact that he has nothing else to write about this time of year. Oh sure, he could write about the great spring of recruiting that Basketball and Football have had. Oh wait....that would require him to write a positive story on ISU and he only does that once or twice a year
You would think the Rag would be totally embarrassed by his articles, but then again it is the Rag
Because for all the people who go "Dammit randy, not again!" a good number of them click through to the article anyway.
That's right. This about about clicks and print sales. If feedback tells him folks are still interested in The Fred story, we'll see an occasional write-up. Randy is a fan of Iowa State athletics the same as a car salesman is a fan of the car he/she is showing. It brings in money and pays the bills. His familiarity may have resulted in some affinity for ISU, but he still works for the DMR.
I guess "I gotta see Randy's next train-wreck piece" clicks count the same as any other.
Can we quit with Hoiberg and Peterson? Geesh it's getting old. Hoiberg moved on. Peterson should move on to Nebraska also. It's not like Hoiberg excepted the Kentucky or Kansas Job. He went to obscurity where nobody even knew they had a basketball team.
I can't stand listening to Randy on CW's Cyclone radio show. Everything he says is word-vomit garbage. I would much rather listen to a competent Ross Peterson discuss on-goings of EIU than hear another word out of that dummy's mouth.
(This has obviously been brewing inside of me for awhile now.)

Fans are finally accepting the fact that Randy is an idiot. ( Oh wait, they've known that for years)
Known it for a long while, but re-affirmed my belief when Randy never came out and clarified that he tripped over a TV cord and broke his leg when fans stormed the court.
