Woody has so much potential, but he gets distracted by telling us way too much about how a defensive lineman lines up or whatever.

I love it though. His analogies to relate the subject matter are pretty good.

Zero inside information but this seems like someone who thought their value was higher, went out onto the open market, and realized that it was the medium that was popular and not the personality. Happens a lot in the media industry. Hopefully he finds a good landing spot - seems like a decent guy.

But when anyone starts thinking you are bigger than your role, you better be damn sure because the grass is rarely greener on the next move. Being content/happy with your job/role, even if its not perfect (not job is), is my biggest career advice for people 10+ years into their career. MUCH easier said than done.

No reason to do this really.

I am surprised to hear this about Jared and almost more suprised about Osen.

Seems like really weird timing for both. What happened to the 247 guy for Wisconsin?

 

[ClubCy]

Yeah, basically all the supposed CyHawk talk turns into the same ****. Whether it was on KXnO or Iowa Everywhere. Both guys talk real, in-depth stuff about the Hawks for the first 75% of the time, then the "Cyclone" portion turns into stupid derailment that is at best something like Hassel going on about the camera perspective of Kohl vs. Becht. But mostly these shows turn into guys like Peterson or Hassel using every ISU discussion as their opportunity to talk about random **** that has nothing to do with ISU, if sports at all.

I appreciate two guys named Chris, and it was interesting, but now that the novelty has worn off, it is getting back to the same crap that plagues every one of these attempts at CyHawk talk.

I suppose this problem is always going to be the case. The problem is you have two programs that in the grand scheme of things don't matter on the national scale, but one fanbase gets it, while the other is full of completely delusional morons that have no clue that pretty much nobody outside our state gives two ***** or even distinguishes between the two programs.

Hawkeye coverage would actually greatly benefit from an outsider coming in and getting a job covering the team. But their media is basically made up of a bunch of lifer fans that have absolutely no understanding of their actual irrelevance in the big picture.

Agreed. Hassel was fine last year but this past month or two he has been insufferable. I’m not taking about “he’s a hawk” insufferable, just his general personality has started to make the pod lose its appeal.

He has brought up Roccos’s size/height in every single podcast for past 3 weeks and maybe CW is too nice to call him out or just doesn’t know but Rocco Becht is literally listed at the same size and weight as their beloved Cade McNamara.

Also, it’s gotta get old getting called an idiot 3x an episode by Hassel.

Amen to the last sentence.

You don't have to quit your current job to "go out onto the open market."

I strongly recommend against doing that in all circumstances.

Give your current gig "good faith" even if you're looking at your options on the side.

Don't jump out of the DC-3 without a plan.

I think we just need football to start. These guys can only analyze so much prior to the season.

If my only job was to literally talk about football I feel like I could get that done pretty easily.

This is what happens when it gets down to the real real and Hok fans (especially from E. IA) have to once again come to grips that it’s not the 80’s/early 90’s and they can and do lose to us in any given year and that’s most likely never going to change. It’s tough for them, and this is how they act.

As big of a goober Hassel can come off as, I think he understands Iowa significantly better than most if not all other Iowa media talking heads. He usually seems to have zero issue calling something ridiculous out in regards to Iowa athletics. The rest is just him being a troll which he apparently relishes.

They do tend to beat certain off topic stuff into the ground- Fareway meat box, eating placenta, “pork butt”, CW’s mom loves the cocks, etc. The problem is they never drop any of these so they keep piling up. It’s basically taken over the podcast now. There used to be more real opinion and analysis. I honestly don’t enjoy it as much as I used to but I’m still listening, I just don’t make it through all the time now. But I’m probably in the minority and I’m sure they know what they’re doing. It’s just frustrating when CW introduces a topic and Hassell interrupts him and the topic is never addressed/ addressed seriously.

 

[Mead For My Horses]

Since this is turning into a critique of CF pod content, I love the new FART cast & content. But maybe it's time to rename it. I'd laugh at the gastronomical jokes if I was 9 but it's cringy. Especially with up & coming professional Colin Newell on board. Maybe it's time to graduate junior high, Guys?

CW: “so I wanted to touch on the depth chart”

CH: “did you touch on that juicy pork sphincter while you were reading it”

 

[State2015]

Hassel has turned into a non-stop troll. He can't wait to jump on anything CW says about ISU. He refuses to give honest discussion about ISU topics. He's an insecure bully who needs someone to pop him.

I think this is another example of us ISU fans being too sensitive. It’s a podcast and Hassel is the type of guy that likes to joke around. They are badmouthing Iowa just as much. For every joke he says about the clones he has a joke about their terrible offense or the awful atmosphere in Carver

I love it though. His analogies to relate the subject matter are pretty good.

A lot of times it has nothing to do with his overall point. If the topic was defensive lineman technique, it would make more sense, but the topic is generally much broader than that.

You should really give the thread a quick once over before you post.

 

[Cyientist]

Don't mind the trolling from Hassel whatsoever. It's literally the last week of the longest offseason. Analysis will pick up again next week.

I can take a rivalry joke, but when every topic is littered with condescending comments about Iowa State, it gets old. Like I said, he will barely engage with real ISU discussion.

His bit about ISU being scared to schedule games at night because of lightning was so dumb and petty. We've had two games severely affected and one canceled because of lightning. Iowa finished a game at like 2 a.m.last year because it was a night game.

And I thought CW kinda missed the point. Yes, you do need that extra room if there is inclement weather, but it's also much more common in Iowa for lightning in the late afternoon into the night than it is earlier in the day. Hassel is very confident even when he's completely wrong.

Is this going to be similar to a Chiz coin?

I guess I'm in the minority and I think Hassel gives both sides equal respect and **** (crap). I don't mind his shtick at all. The podcast is what it is, it's sports with some off topic stuff sprinkled in. You want hard hitting Cyclone stuff, go elsewhere I suppose. Just because that is your style doesn't mean 100% of content needs to be tailored for you.

There is a reason it's the #1 pod there, so I think a lot of the vocal minority is showing up here, as with what happens everywhere for everything.
