Miller & Deace, Absolutely.

What????????????

 

[kg-cyclone]

While I don't mind Deace as much as some, I think there are a ton more people who would represent the Cyclone viewpoint much better on that show. Deace should stick to politics, and it should become the Miller and Williams show...

I would go for that...CW does great work.

I would go for that...CW does great work.

I would second that. It sure would be nice to have a Cyclone perspective from the inside. Definitely would listen a lot more of the show versus changing the station when Deace gets on his high horse.

Mr. iowaboy, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I'll live. And I am sure God will. IB

If we get Deace canned...Do you think he would give back his salary?:wink:

For those of you who have better things to do like shaving your back hair or watching concrete harden go right ahead. This post will end up being rather long and I have no back or chest hair as a good man keeps it worn off and I have been thinking of writing something like this for a long time now.

I blew off MediaCom awhile back after 10 years running because they wouldn't take care of their loyal customers (me) at 100 plus dollars a month and offering similar services for 30-40 dollars to new signees. After 10 years they owed me IMO. Heck, a couple of coupons to McDonalds would of been nice as at least I would have been recognized. I went with a different Company and my hesitation to do so was all about losing out on watching Mr. Miller and Mr. Deace. Now, because of my decision I am regulated to listening to their radio show in the am. That's all-right as Mr. Deace has a face built for radio anyway... Thats a joke.....

Yesterday's show was especially interesting as I learned MORE about what makes those two gentlemen tick than the previous years watching them on TV. Radio can sell and convey things that are impossible on TV. Try drainning Lake Erie and fill it with cocoa, spread 50,000 tons of whipped cream over it (really thick) and drop a 5,000 lbs. maraschino cherry on top on TV. I feel that listening to them brings me closer to their message and I hear things that I normally wouldn't on their radio show. Thanks Mediacom! Now go suck an egg.

Did you hear the emotion in Mr. Miller's voice when he spoke of Iowa and their shortcomings this year. Sure, most were facts like 20 point differentials in certain games etc. But did you HEAR Mr. Miller when he got emotional? Wonderful! You can't replace pure emotion as it comes from one's soul. Did you hear the thunderous "quiet" as in the absence of a responce from Mr. Deace when Mr. Miller was speaking emotionally? Those of you who think Mr. Deace doesn't know when to shut up are mistaken. He knows. One reason Mr. Deace didn't say anything is because he is suffering also and feels the same way as Mr. Miller. They were echoing eachother's sentiments.

They say adversity doesn't build character..... it reveals it! Yesterday I learned what I had already known for years. Both these gentleman have loads of character and I appreciate that. Long after the jocks been hung for the last time and after the bios etc, what you did with your life will speak louder than what you said.

Mr. Miller, you fit the "mold" of a true Hawkeye. You come across as somewhat "entitled", smug at times, have a cheshire cat grin, slip us ISU fans a handshake as you are sliding the switch blade between our ribs, offering us EXLAX in place of a girl scout cookie and all the while would run through hell with gasoline pants on to watch Hawkeye football.

Mr. Deace, you on the other hand are more like Patton. Usually cloud debates with factual information, call it like it is, don't pull punches as you punch through the back of the head, study tons of information and have a delivery stronger than a garlic malt. Thank you, I love you for it.

Mr. Deace, if you ever decide to enter politics bear in mind what my father used to say to me . "everyone respects a man who stands up and says what he believes! Problem is, no one will back him!" In short, your show is unique. Unlike many sports shows, you two do like each other, respect each other yet will not let those attributes get in the way of a great fight. Open the dictionary and look up ISU and Iowa and your pictures should accompany it.

Mr. Deace takes alot of heat for being a Michigan fan. So where is it said you can't pull for more than one team? (Did you know Dowling's school song is "Hail to the Victors?") I lived in Ohio for my "informative" years and there is NOTHING wrong with Michigan! Do Michigan's male athlete's still shave their legs?

In closing, I agree with Mr. Deace's assessment that today's children are coddled too much.(Don't worry as I got your six!) Ask any Coach who has coached for more than 20 years if these kids are TOUGHER than the 80's. Getting a medal for finishing in 27th place not only sends a terrible message, it takes the shine off of the top producers to make someone feel good about sucking. We MUST stop rewarding SUCKING! Once children know the difference between sucking and NOT sucking they will give their all to NOT finish last and after all, isn't that what we are all after? For each of us to give it our best. Remember if you are NOT the lead dog in the pack the VIEW always looks the same.

And yes, Mr. Miller, I'll take you up on your offer of having a person on your show who isn't driven by sports in general yet finds it a useful tool to prepare us for life in particular. I wrote a letter to my 5th grade teacher Feb. 11th, 1958 while living in Ohio about how I wanted to grow up to be like the great QB at Iowa.... Randy Dunkin!!! She mailed it back to me in time for my high-school graduation after moving to Iowa to chase my dream. I gave it to the University 3 years ago and am told it's displayed on a wall in a sports building.

Thank you both for being you. IB

No chest hair? Ignore.

That OP is so long it's what Tolstoy reads on the ****er.

OK, you lost me right there. I get the radio thing, but you were afraid to drop Mediacon because you would lose those two on TV?

You didn't by chance recently join the Army to avoid the draft did you, Cruiser?

 

[Final42b]

Its embarassing and a joke that Deace is supposed to represent ISU.

 

[tman24]

What????????????

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe its is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

 

[ISUcy08]

I had essays in college shorter than that!!!
I love the show. I listen to the podcasts 3, 4 times a week.

 

[Cyfan1843]

I hope you either dont have a job to write all that or you were on the job while you wrote all that.

 

[mwitt]

My exposure to Deace has pretty much been limited to the State of the Nations show. I really liked that, and I wish they still did it.

I listened to the podcast from yesterday, and I don't think he said anything too out of line. I don't agree with him about being more upset after beating Kansas State. I understand the logic he put behind it, but I can't fathom any Iowa State fan being legitimately upset after defeating the number 5 team on the road.

 

[Jack & Hilton]

Jon Miller is an idiot and should not be taken seriously when talking about anything Big 12 basketball or Iowa State basketball. His sports update on KXNO has been saying all day that Iowa State plays 7th seeded Kansas tomorrow night in its first game in the Big 12 tournament. Really, 7th seed Kansas? Not the 6th seed of Texas? And Kansas is the 7 seed? Really Jon?

I like this idea!!

Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy listening to Deace most days. He tells it how it is. Do I agree with him? Not always but the majority of the time he gives an unbiased opinion (unless dealing with Michigan).

C Will is great and you can feel his emotional attachment to ISU. Deace roots for ISU cause it makes good radio and he doesn't like Iowa, not because he loves ISU.

 

[CykoAGR]

If we get Deace canned...Do you think he would give back his salary?:wink:

KG-This could be the first time we have ever agreed on a topic.

Funny post!!

 

[RoseClone]

You should take his bet...I'm sure you could use a new car.:wink:

Frankly, Deace should be ashamed of what he said about LaRon Dendy today.

For those of you who didn't hear - He is so sure that LaRon will get in some off-court problem before next basketball season that he was willing to bet Miller a car on it. Honestly, I was offended and that takes a lot to do.

Mac is trying to help LaRon...Comments like that **** me off.

Let me sum up my response in a lot less words.

Deace sucks.

Hay Croz thats funny cause it mite just be TRUE!!!!!


I like the part where Daze er Deace called Pollard a "Politician"...


I thought that was a "nice touch".....:yes:
