Just ragging on the crowd and ref whining.
To be fair, later on he did say the crowd was helpful to help ISU get out of lulls.
But he was okay with the fans at Iowa throwing full beer cans on the field after the correct call.
He and Travis both should have been fired for saying they almost were going to root against Iowa State against Kansas State just because some ISU fans were posting mean things about Iowa.
He has always been a Iowa fan first and foremost and this proves it. A great win and he has to come up with that crap.
What’s wrong with the crowd? Was 60% during a blizzard. Carver hasn’t seen that big of crowd in a while, minus when the Clones play over there. And who was whining about refs?
What bothers me most is how clearly fake he was with Chris on their show. He sucked up to ISU all the time but as soon as he had a hawk guest it was back to being so condescending. It’s also laughable how he always called Chris much more of an ISU fan than he was an Iowa fan. No Chris just knew more because he did/does the work.
The crowd was pretty much full, in a raging blizzard. All the tickets were sold.
All conference games have sold out. Iowa won't have a single sellout all year.
Winter break, no students, week night, blizzard....the crowd was awesome!
Not only throwing full beer cans, but some of those injured people... including members of their cheer team.
But that's perfectly okay... because the DeJean call screwed over Iowa... even though it was totally the correct call, and nobody with any knowledge at all regarding the call has said it was the incorrect call. Iowa received no apologies from the B1G, or anyone else, because it was clearly the correct call.
But ISU fans are terrible!!
What was he saying about the ISU fans? Cheering too loud? Showing up to games despite bad road conditions?
I was at the game and I don't remember the crowd getting on the officials much. Odd thing to say considering their idol's antics towards refs and the 'play of the year' taken away by refs, which is still being mentioned.
Used to be a fan of his but without Chris he's become unbearable.
Ross is one of the least qualified people to be on radio. He's on there because of the people he knows not because of his sports knowledge, abilities, or talent.
Yeah, was at the game too and i think it actually was LESS "official riding" than most nights. It was a wrestling match type game and at times it was a clear foul...but then other times when rough the refs didn't call (let them play) unless someone ended on the floor.
As other have said, given the blizzard definitely not full (and no student section), but i heard players say it definitely sounded full....and seriously, ANY hawk fan critiquing attendance/fans at ISU bball should realize how silly they sound.
He didn't say anything bad about the crowd. He did go on a bit about ISU fans constantly complaining about the refs.
Were these bozos actually in Hilton? I didn’t hear much riding the refs on TV although I didn’t have the volume up very high. I doubt they have ever even been in Hilton except when the Hawks go there.
