Need a reason to stop watching WHO TV News (channel 13)?
- Thread starter Pope
- Start date
Most tavern hoks have never seen a college campus.
Local news in Cedar Rapids teaches me to vote against mean people. 24/7/365. Mean people who say mean things are bad. Must kill the queen.
....and yes, they are all over-compensating Mizzou grads outside of the weather people. I like the weather people....some orignal thought and critical analysis there.
I never watch that Hawkeye loving station. Keith Murphy is a die hard hok, Fales is a dipstick, Sears called us Cyclowns and now this douche? 8 and 5 are better!
I agree, although I get how it’s annoying if you live around it. It’s always, “I’m a Hawk and like to make fun of the Cyclones”. It’s almost never, “I’m a Cyclone and like to make fun of the Hawks”. Cyclone fans in the media always seem to have to be somewhat deferential to the Hawks in their professional capacity. The only person I ever remember regularly crapping on the Hawks was, love him or hate him, Steve Deace.
But overall I agree, our fan base gets up in arms way too often over minor perceived slights.

Or the inside of a dentist’s office.
Really not a huge deal but very much a Hok move and if someone at KCRG or KGAN in CR threw out a 'Go Clones' they might make the headlines on their own site for not going full Haydenism.
And it doesnt look like he's one of their sports reporters, where you'd want them to take a more neutral stance. Some of these reporters move around so much on their way up, of course many of them are going to be fans of other teams. Its part of the fun.
Only in my 40's, but I watch some of the the local news. Not every night, but I try to catch the weather a couple times a week.
