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.
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.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.
Amen to the last sentence.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.

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

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.
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.Agreed.

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.Agreed.

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 CarverHassel 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.
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.I love it though. His analogies to relate the subject matter are pretty good.
You should really give the thread a quick once over before you post.
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.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.
