I don't listen to sports radio, never have, nor do I follow these goons on (or even use) social media... but I'm pretty sure all but those invested in women's basketball or Hawk fans with nothing else to celebrate moved on long ago.
Yep, she has fans - most athletes do. She did nothing earth shattering for the sport, she just played great and got away with poor sportsmanship because she's white and created controversy because her opponent did the same thing and was black.
Iowa is such a pathetic media state - U of Iowa has always been the bell cow and anything the media can grab onto, they will run into the ground. You combine a Hawkeye story with a female and they go apeshit for months. I understand they have to fill coverage with something, but there are a lot of great stories out there right now they don't touch.

Definitely would rather golf with Caitlin Clark. At least she is going to actually graduate from U of I.
I wonder if Murphy has one of those hy Vee Cardboard cutouts? I don't want to wonder what he does to it.
You just know he does. He’s gone way off the deep end.
I'm guessing I've only seen the tip of the iceberg since I've only seen what's been reposted here from him, but it feels pretty damn creepy. Like, seriously creepy.
Well, anything to take away from covering the abomination of Iowa men's basketball and the coming implosion (again) of Brian Ferentz's superior offensive skills...
I'd rather watch her watch baseball than this Clark stuff.
I asked this in the KXNO thread but you know things. Since Murph married money, is it public info how much NIL money he has given Clark?
I wouldn't say it's weird. It's normal for low population states. Canadians are even more obsessed with the concept of the local hero.
You mean for things like sing him happy birthday?
Carvers, question for you. What’s up with a catholic school up by me having their victory song being Highway to Hell? Seems a little off. Most schools okay sweet Caroline or celebration or something like that.
Beats me. Guessing it is some ancient coach or AD’s favorite song. Our public high school plays it and all geezer music from 50 years ago. Stuff was current when I started high school there but not now. Pretty sad playing “Moon River” in pep band when I was in high school. It wasn’t ancient then but certainly not peppy.
Husband went to a Jesuit school. Their fight song sounds like something a priest wrote as a funeral dirge. Most games I have ever attended at a Catholic high school work the Notre Dame Victory March or When the Saints Go Marching In somewhere into the deal. It’s weird how much music they play at softball and baseball now. They may just play what they can without copyright issues or something. Was walking my dog and the noise from the softball field was deafening. My youngest isn’t even that old but I don’t remember two hours of music blaring before and after his games.
If you think she’d have gotten any national attention whatsoever without all the local fawning over her you’re even dumber than I thought.
You’ve been old man and troll posting when you do now, what’s up with that?
So you think someone receiving quite a bit of national media coverage isn't deserving of local media attention. I may be dumber than you thought, but your knuckles must hurt a lot from dragging them around all the time with your level of reasoning.
Look at my posting history, I can't remember the last time I even came close to trolling.
