You can onyl predict the upcoming season for ISU and Iowa so many times, and they have done it MANY times over the past few months. Its summer, local DM radio is tough during the summer. That being said, during the football and basketball season, they have, and will talk a ton more Iowa and ISU. Yes they will still go off topic more than they probably need to, but that is what they have always (self admittedly) done.
It's game week. They should be talking sports this week.
What really funny is how much he (Ken Silverstein) looks like Mr Mackey from South Park, mmmkay...

#1 reason I don't listen from 6-8 amThe whole point of a local show is to actually talk about local sports sometimes. I get that they want to go off topic to make it fun, but I rarely hear them on topic.
I actually like when Ken Silverstein is on.....their content is at least interesting to me for some reason. They usually talk about schedules and what moves the needle.
Whatever KXNO pays some of their guests is too much money, Bama Bob, Biff Hammer are awful.
Out of all the guests the worst is the Big Ten guy from Ohio who is on M&B. He says "umkay" after every sentence. My favorite was this spring during March Madness when he picked Nebraska to beat Baylor in the first round because according to him "Baylor never did anything in the tourney." I wanted to call in and say "Baylor has made the Elite 8 twice in the last 4 years..." Baylor then beat up Nebraska.
He's actually grown on me too, can't explain it. I think at some point I switched to finding all of his dumb talking quirks funny instead of just annoying.
They actually broke down Iowa Xs and Os today.
Apparently you don't realize how local radio personalities are paid.I do like the dunkin donuts as I've won once!
I hate the Omaha commercials crap...you are a Des Moines show speaking to Des Moines listeners. no problem with Travis being in Omaha, but to promote anything in Omaha is only hurting the economy in Des Moines.
I listen every day, and for the most part enjoy them. I'm hoping they'll get back to more sports talk after we've had some actual games this week.
I think Murph and Andy have a perfect balance of off topic and sports takes. They know when to be serious and when to have some fun.
This mornings broadcast was a whole lot of Cyclones...these past two days have been pretty straight laced. Wonder if something was said.

It has actually been a pretty normal week of content for them, other then them exploiting the guy for tweeting them what he did. Yes they get off topic frequently, but they still talk ISU and Iowa pretty frequently. This week has been so different.
