Sears HATES ISU. HATES!
Andy and Murph lose all credibility when they put him in there to interview Lazard and than say he was just asking questions people want to know. Which is to bad, b/c I like both guys.

This may be the tipping point where the media learns it's not a winning business model to openly cheer against Iowa State. When it was a 80/20 split in ISU football's basement years it probably was a solid model to staff a media outlet with Hawk homers. No longer.
They are not or shouldn't be upset about the media ban. I think they are more upset about throwing stones from glass houses. None of this would have been an issue if Lazard wouldnt have spoken openly about taking other visits.
They continue to say Lazard kept taking visits. No he didn't. He took 1 visit to ND. ONE. He shut down his recruiting after that and they continued to chase him. It just makes these guys look even dumber when they talk about it and yet really don't know anything except what they tell each other.
I didn't follow Scheel's recruitment that closely but wasn't he an Iowa legacy? Did he have to face a fraction of the local media scrutiny over his choice that Lazard did?
I just finished watching the whole signing day special. Good production and I like that class that they've signed. Just turned on KXNO and they are still blabbing on about it. I think a lot of this goes back to last year and the media questions / comments. The major papers in the state are both much more aligned with Iowa mainly just because they were the main/only game in town during the papers heyday. Now, printed papers are going away and they don't like it and coincidentally ISU is also coming along and challenging Iowa for the primary school in the state.
Really, I'm going to throw the blame at the NCAA. 1.) Because they suck at everything, 2.) They hate ISU and 3.) We really need an early signing period like other sports so that the athletes that have made up their minds can end all of this harassment. I know that it would really drive me crazy but I don't like the phone all that much. How many of you are completely tired of political negative ads before an election and that's just television ads and some robo calls.

no but he never took another visit or openly said he wasnt 100% committed to Iowa
As the Iowa fan that called in pointed out, Hayden Fry was the king of bending the media over and giving it to them and loved to get up on his soapbox occasionally. Guess what? Paul got the chance to do it and he took it.
In no way is this a big deal, the media has been bent over a barrel for decades in Iowa City and I have no idea why they're all flipping out about someone at Iowa State doing it now.

The demographics and enrollment numbers are changing, combined with ISU having the better basketball program for two decades and becoming more competitive in football with a clear hiccup here and there...unless you're exclusively catering to the over 60 state of Iowa sports fans there's no reason for the one sided coverage we saw through the entire 90s.
You think Murph and Andy can use the "throwing stones from glass houses", when as a couple of sports talk radio guys they are upset with CPR being critical of how guys like them do their jobs?
I'm not talking about Rhoads ******** at the media, I'm talking more about ******** at Iowa and ND.
For one, he wasn't the same level of recruit (national attention, all american). Also, he wasn't a legacy so I think that may have helped. I think a lot of people come down on Allen because they see he has pretty much any opportunity in the world and they think he's only staying because of family ties. That's not how I feel however.
I don't think he was ******** about them continuing to recruit I think it was a "See this? I got him *******, nice waste of money there". The guy was excited about getting his prize recruit and wanted to rub it in their faces
For the same reasons CPR laid down the law, I have avoided AL "news". When exactly did Lazard say he wasn't 100% committed to ISU?
That is the issue right there- unless you have said in the past week you are 100% committed to ISU, the local media thinks it is time to ask if you are finally reconsidering.
