Insufferable John Sears on Sound Off tonight. Hok circle jerk with Andy and the guy filling in for Keith. Andy throws shade at Cyclone fans for not supporting Iowa. Clown. That’s what’s bugging me.
Well, it's finally over
- Thread starter cydnote
- Start date
I’m sure Iowa fans were rooting for us against Illinois last Thursday. These people are just insufferable.
You’re an embarrassment to the Cubs. And you can’t spell.
Me, around all of my Hok friends on Facebook today.
Time to raise that almost won banner next to the Tyler Ulis runner-up banner.
I believe calling Iowa State “clowns” is how he supports ISU
Remember earlier this year when the H***eyes were trying to cast themselves as "Des Moines' Hometown Team"?
Iowa is the third-most popular NCAA team in DM and it's not close. They are maybe the 5th-most popular team in DM across all sports and divisions and that's pushing it.

I'm kind of surprised that JP even agrees to go on their show anymore after the last 6 months. I used to like Murph and Andy too but they've alienated a large portion of the Cyclone fanbase. I think they've lost touch with reality that central Iowa is becoming more and more cardinal and gold than ever before.
I was saying the same thing immediately after the game. Instead of showing reactions of the winning team, it was one camera following Clark thru the handshake line and off the court.
One weekend doesn’t change 4 years of on court behavior that was on par for a grade school student. It’s a shame it took her dad yelling at her on national tv for her to change her behavior. But I’m glad she composed herself very well this past weekend. It would be easier to cheer for her if she had acted that way the prior 4 years. Which is why it’s much easier to cheer for a girl like Audi. Just happy, smiling, and supporting teammates all the time. Just a genuine great person and a fantastic athlete. Now that CC’s done with Iowa, let’s appreciate the next three years we have Audi
I’m sure Murph and Andy will give her the same level of support that they gave Clark.
Friends, Murph is currently on suicide watch. Cyclone nation needs to hold him up during this intense period of grief. Send him a sympathy card to share your thoughts and prayers. Ease his pain.
It’s the same as the, I have a black friend so I can’t be racist.
So happy they lost. Would have been insufferable if they had won.
It’s mostly Clark, which then gave the networks the idea to use the NBA model and go all in on marketing the stars.
Final fours had been 1.5-3m for years. In 2022 Iowa wasn’t in but Clark had helped generate some more interest. Now this year the numbers are bananas.
it’s almost entirely Clark. Now the environment matters. With NIL she’s everywhere, and she pushed the game to the tipping point that networks saw they could put her games on major network and time slots, and it snowballed from there. I do think if Turausi and Bird came up in this game exact period there would’ve been a big boost as well, but not like this. The difference then was those teams were so dominant and loaded that championships were more or less a foregone conclusion. The added parity has helped.
But pre-Clark the game growing modestly at best. I think the Bueckers and Clark first year got the ball rolling, but it was mostly Clark after that.
I’ve explained why I don’t like her, but trying to pretend she isn’t pretty much the entire reason for the ratings is denial.
We will see a dip next year but hopefully it set a much higher floor on interest and viewership.
