It’s always fun to hear Ben Bruns drool over the Cyclone OL.
Latest gem: “Nineteen year old Ben Bruns is nowhere near as good as Trevor Buhr”.

Twenty-two year old Ben Bruns was what, a third team All American?

I took it as Campbell said throw it deep regardless. Which maybe he did? He could have called an audible into the bad decision. Either way I believe him if he says it was his fault.He brought up something that struck me as well. Campbell is calling (some?) plays? He said the int by Rocco was his fault. Definitely noteworthy
Is this a serious post?He’s a notorious sunshine pumper, especially when it comes to O line play. Wish somebody with a more jaundiced eye would take over the podcast.

He made a comment on a really good college tackle who turned out being a 1st team all pro guard in the NFL. SimpleWTF does that have to do with anything?![]()
Have you listened to his podcasts the last few seasons? It’s not like I’ve been the only person calling this out.Is this a serious post?
And you are a notorious awful poster especially when it comes to everything you post about.He’s a notorious sunshine pumper, especially when it comes to O line play. Wish somebody with a more jaundiced eye would take over the podcast.
I have listened to every one and think Ben is as fair as there is, plus he was an All-American at the position, developed several power 5 level linemen while a coach at Valley. Not to mention Iowa State is 3-0, ranked in the top 20 and just won a game 52-7. Not sure calling out sunshine pumping is the path I’d go down today, but all good!Have you listened to his podcasts the last few seasons? It’s not like I’ve been the only person calling this out.
Meh, he has good analysis that tends to be on the optimistic side. The only time I would say he waded into sunshine pumping territory was after the 2022 win in Iowa City. He thought the OL was going to kick ass the rest of the year. But that was after a big win when the OL played well against a great defense.Have you listened to his podcasts the last few seasons? It’s not like I’ve been the only person calling this out.
Well, clearly you haven’t.Have you listened to his podcasts the last few seasons?
Don’t twist my words. He’s one of the best O Linemen we’ve had. Up there with KO. Your response has nothing to do with my original post. Just pointing out his analysis is sometimes more than optimistic.I have listened to every one and think Ben is as fair as there is, plus he was an All-American at the position, developed several power 5 level linemen while a coach at Valley.

You wished someone else would take over the podcast. I’m sure CW would be open to other, more qualified folks.Don’t twist my words. He’s one of the best O Linemen we’ve had. Up there with KO.

Because he knows what he is talking about when it comes to OL playWTF does that have to do with anything?![]()

He said he liked some of the things the line was doing. Said younger guys are playing because they are pretty good instead of necessity.I didn’t listen to Ben, is he happy with the Oline through the first 3 games. It feels to me they are improved. Obviously inferior competition for the first 3 games…
You must not of listened to him during the Dekkers year.
We're also undefeated and didn't drop an early game I feel like if not now, when?Why does it matter that a former player and radio analyst has an optimistic outlook on a podcast?
Because this is CF, and our favorite team won 52-7 yesterday and some of us like acylum just want to complain. And apparently if we don’t complain, we’re sunshine pumpersWhy does it matter that a former player and radio analyst has an optimistic outlook on a podcast?
