Sound off

[Clark]

Just curious, did anyone actually watch soundoff to confirm what was said in the OP was accurate?

I find it hard to believe that not one caller called in to talk about cyclone football.

Iowa has more fans because they have the tavern crowd who have no true affiliation to either university.

And? They are the morons that call the sound off shows and help then sell ad space. Not that hard to see.

ISU has had one of the worst historical football records in the Big 12, yet we have the largest football stadium in the new Big 12. Why? Because there is no fan base that's more dedicated than Cyclone Nation.

I could show you pictures of me in the parking lot in the early 90s with almost nobody around. The stadium was 20,000 people most weeks. Then came Troy Davis, then Mac, then we beat the Hawks finally. Then we got an AD and ISU president that understood we needed football success. Once we succeeded, our fan base grew. Just like you'd expect. Sure, we travel and support them big time now, but we aren't as special as most think. We supported success that finally came. I was one that supported through the lean years and probably why I get so upset with those that bash players and coaches.

If Iowa had to play our football schedule year after year, their record would be very mediocre and their stadium would be half empty.

Maybe so, but it hasn't been that. So I'm explaining the reality not arguing what ifs.

I swear I heard Murph say his wife went to ISU. I've heard Andy say his wife went to Iowa.

Sadly this doesn’t prove anything. Not everyone follows the alumni rule.

It still beats listening to Hoiberg talk Nebrasketball.

I mean, i'd believe it but only because they don't take anywhere near as many calls as they used to back in the day

Murph has to be so upset

Is it butt slap time or what is going on there?

Looks like CC is elbowing the teammate slapping her ass

 

[Psyclone Brian]

What was most talked about?

Iowa, hawkeye stuff, Caitlin Clark, and Kirk Ferentz crying.

Old habits die hard.

Does John Sears work for the Iowa athletic department?

Anybody else notice his entire face is on the bottom half of his head?

It is the women's version of this...

I bet old Connor has been a chicken wing recipient on more than one occasion.

That is just so……………..

He said on his show this afternoon that he understood why South Carolina jumped Iowa because they had 2 very impressive wins. The confirmation bias in this thread is hilarious.

But also followed it up with a thinly veiled shot at Dawn Staley’s tendency to be outspoken.
Also find it equally hilarious you’re calling out confirmation bias on a fan message board.

Well Murph's ISU wife did let her son go to Iowa so that should be a frowny face

If we aren't evolving we are falling behind... Updated for the new information

Murph's Wife -

Andy's Wife -

I respect Murph and the work he does. I told him that when I saw him at the Kansas game. I don’t watch that program due to the heavy Hawk lean. I’m pretty sure Murphys son goes there and his wife is a Hawk so I get it but it’s not a program ISU fans should support. Would they get more viewers if it was balanced, probably, but it won’t change any time soon. If you are still watching this I’m honestly perplexed.

I only watch sometimes after an Iowa loss, but even then most of the time I just forget its even on. It’s the same with AM Iowa sports talk radio shows

^ This is true. I used to watch pretty faithfully when it was still Andy, not Sears. I have tuned in a handful of times the last 4-5 years, and seems like they have maybe 3 calls the entire show?

I found the dynamic between Murph and Andy (and Hassel, back in the day) to be highly entertaining. Nowadays, I still like listening to Murph and Andy on the radio when I get a chance for that reason. But Sunday night soundoff? Meh at best.

I haven't watched in YEARS and only did a couple times before that. It's always been a Hawk call-in show and always will be. My guess is most of the fans that call in are ones that know the least about football and sports in general outside of their Hawkeye bubble.

And I'm guessing Murphy is still jerking it to CC's latest whatever.
