I imagine Jon Miller in real life is like JP from Grandma's Boy. Probably wears a duster around his house. Watches Iowa games in an isolated room like JP's office. Maybe he even talks like a robot sometimes in social situations.

"Adios turd nuggets."

I try and root for Iowa teams, being good for our record, RPI, and darn it, we should like things in Iowa, no one else does!

Then their fans come along...

Amen.

There's just a few bad apples that ruin it for the whole bunch. We have a few in our fanbase too as CF has made clear.

Yes Iowa is playing at a high level right now. But ISU is playing so much better than they were when they played Iowa.

I think both teams are much better than they were in December. I didnt think that would be possible witout Naz being out there. A lot of credit should be sent Monte Morris and Matt Thomas' way for elevating their games. Abdel Nader too.

Miller is a total joke. He hardly pays attention to Iowa. However I don't have a lot of issue with his first comment. He went full ****** pretty quick though.

There's nothing smart about creating news that isn't true to get page views. If you don't have credibility in this business, you have nothing.
Not necessarily: Rush Limbaugh, Kim Jong Un, the Onion.

Did all you guys really go to ISU? I didn't. I don't get this argument.

The problem isn't that you didn't go to a particular school and are a fan of the school.

The problem is that you didn't go to that school, are a fan of that school, and act like a tool when it comes to being a fan of that school.


Edit: A For-profit fan, I should add.

While admittedly Iowa is real good and their coach will probably get Big10 coach of the year ( maybe even national ) , I don't see the their desire for ever calling ISU their little brother when it comes to basketball. Well anything for that matter...makes them across as arrogant.

So let's have some screenshots of these "friendly" texting sessions. #credibility

Miller is probably just jealous that Cyclonefanatic is destroying his website in about every category. Sometimes I like to read about Iowa basketball but then Im disappointed to see only 1 new thread per day.

Just take the last 2 game threads for example:

Iowa Vs Purdue
202 posts and 3473 views

Iowa Vs Kansas
882 replies and 40,151 views

And before some Hawk fan tries to defend him by saying it was the Kansas game, the TCU game on Saturday alone had over 23,000 views.

In that gym, ISU might be the toughest out in the country. Good thing the NCAA tourney ain't played in that gym.

@HawkeyeNation talk about a back-handed compliment


Jon Miller@HawkeyeNation 14h14 hours ago
@ChrisMWilliams congratulations. You're full on little brother now


Chris Williams@ChrisMWilliams 14h14 hours ago
@HawkeyeNation sucks giving up 20 point second half leads to your little brother doesn’t it?


I'm not getting any sense of snarkiness or BS from Miller here on the 1st tweet. I don't get what CW was irritated by. ISU is damn near impossible to beat at Hilton. Play the NCAA tourney in Hilton and ISU whoops ***, round after round. #truth
