Sportssoundoff

I used to watch the show religiously. Now that Murph and Andy have a radio show, which is probably 200x better then SoundOff, I rarely watch SoundOff.
I absolutely love it and since I now live in Eastern Iowa, I listen to the podcasts from their website after-the-fact. As for Murph being a Cyclone fan, it is tough to exactly tell, but I think he leans more that way. What I do know is that Murph's wife is an ISU alum and big Cyclone fan, so maybe that rubs off on him some. However, if I went by my own logic there, then I would be a Husker fan because my wife is an alum and big fan, and that I am NOT!!!
I love the show during football/basketball season. I hardly watch during the summer when there is not much to discuss. The best part is that is that it rolls right into Buck the Outdoorsman. That is a jingle that will forever be burned into my brain.
I'll go with 70% like, 30% love
They'd bump up the love factor if they cut down on the skits that only have hassel and have nothing to do with the theme of the show... those are usually pretty terrible

This times 100. Living in Omaha, they have a show by the same name on Sunday nights. Whenever I'm flipping through the guide I get all excited like WTF we have Sound Off now? Then get severally disappointed.
I always wanted a breakdown of viewership when it comes to how long after the show and into the Buck McNealy song people lasted. I think I always turned after the John Walters sounding guy says "The Outdoorsman, presented by" click.
Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately gets ****** when The Outdoorsman starts to play after sound off. I think the longest I have let the outdoorsman play before turning it off or turning the channel is literally 20 seconds.
I will never forget the soundoff show after ISU beat Iowa the first time after Iowa's run of 14 or 15. The Iowa meltdown reached epic proportions.
This is the link I used during football/basketball season. Haven't been watching since April. Live Streaming | WHOTV.com ? Des Moines news & weather from WHO Television
I don't think either of them leans too far one way or the other, but rather they like seeing both teams do well. I think they're a little harder on Iowa generally, but I get the impression part of that is a professional thing (they've mentioned that ISU is much more accommodating of the media). They have both had some pretty good moments of Cyclone fandom though, with Andy having some hilarious tweets during/after the OSU game and I'm pretty sure Keith said he and a group of people took a limo from Des Moines to Ames to meet the team after the Texas win a couple years ago. Alcohol may have influenced both of those stories, if I remember right.
After re-reading that paragraph, I may listen to their show too much...:unsure:
You can also stream their kxno radio show live through the website or the iheartradio app on smartphones. Even though I work from home in Ames, I don't have a decent enough AM radio to pick up 1460 over the air, so I just load the website stream at 2pm everyday.
The TV show is great, but often feels rushed as a collection of segments. The radio show format and daily frequency really allows them to stretch out and dive in on the topics of the day, mostly sports but other stuff too. Only part I could do without is the Hey Tana segments...
