Leistikow had an article in the paper the other day talking about Uthoff training in Vegas and Uthoff basically said that his personality leads him to be a role player (i.e. because of the late game crap). Nothing wrong with being a role player, but I'm not sure that should be an attitude that one strives for.
Speaking of Leistikow, it's embarrassing how in the bag he is for Iowa. It's like what I would write about Iowa State if I was 12 and writing my own blog. I don't know that I've read an article that he's written that isn't an unnecessary love fest about Iowa. Frankly, it is like Iowa has their own PR person writing articles for the Register.
Maybe he could be a coach sometime down the road at the collegiate level. Does anyone have any ideas who might be willing to give him a chance?
Slow and steady. Slow and steady. Gotta milk it for all the media coverage it's worth.
It's a deliberate approach by the Des Moines Register. Beat reporting, at least according to the Des Moines Register (or Gannett) is dead. It's now churning out daily content that is effectively branded advertising. The sad part is I think our assigned writer, Randy, is oblivious to the entire situation. I pick and choose what I read from the DMR and no longer receive the print version. Do they have a designated troll anymore? It was Sean Keeler and Nancy Clark at one point. Who gets the hate mail these days?
Yeah, I suppose. I had never read anything that he'd written and then a few months ago, I did. I was surprised at how much it read like it was written by Iowa's PR department. So I've read a few other things to see if I was overreacting.
Reading an article takes about 2 minutes...not much of a time waster!
Ehh...they don't have a columnist anymore like they once did. I think that Randy P is trying to write like a columnist. Randy's articles are all over the place.
But I do agree that Randy or Tommy aren't the homers that Chad is for Iowa. Randy and Tommy are fair, but it isn't a freaking love fest. I'll have to see if I can find the article by Chad that sent me over the edge. It was about Kirk, I think.
I always got a kick out of Leistikow talking about the basketball team on M&A or Sports Fanatics radio like they were the best team this state has ever seen, that didn't backfire at all.
Can't wait to hear more of Georges numbers, his athleticism improved a lot from year 1 to 4 just like Ejim's hands.
I read Leistikow once and was looking for some byline that said he was making a special contribution to the Register as an employee of the AIB Iowa City Athletic Department. Should have known better, I don't think he is related to Freerentz.
Ha! Best part, Georges would love this too. His self-deprecating humor is awesome. Boy, I miss him.
