Those two completely lost me when they couldn't identify that hobbit who works for them was a pathetic Tavern Hawk hounding a high school player Allen Lazard. That little Frodo went full tilt message board troll in a televised interview with a high school student and they couldn't admit to the clear obvious reality of the situation. I was a daily M&A listener for years before that, listened to zero minutes since.
They said Sears proposed the idea of that kind of interview with Lazard and he agreed to it. That was their out. "He (Lazard) made the call," they said.
They threw a high school football player under the bus for a bad idea that came from people who are supposed to be a professional. Why would those guys think that having the interview done that way would NOT be insulting to ISU. "
Really, you are going to Iowa State? I mean, Notre Dame and all these other programs with storied histories are after you and you are choosing Iowa State? Really? No hesitation about this decision? Really, you are picking Iowa State? For real?"
I would have had a little more respect for them had they said, "Yeah, it probably wasn't the best decision on our part to allow the interview to be conducted like that."
Personally, I think Andy and Keith are pretty unbiased. Sears is not.
