I agree its a schtick but isnt he accomplished enough not to have to do a schtick? not only him but his dad. Its all cringey. goes from ESPN this weird act.
I just found him to be..unbelievable! Like I said in my first post about him...a poser! This being the first time I watched him I just found it all forced...he was posing...watching someone fake outrage (when you can tell) is not entertaining! It is more entertaining to listen to the Hawkeye idiots I work with or run into at the store go off on the game Thursday night because they are genuine (while still sounding like idiots)!

Hassel is hilarious. Two Guys is great because of their different personalities. People need to relax...goodness gracious. He is a lifelong diehard Hawkeye fan. Would be boring if he just got down and his hands and knees and praised the Clones.
This was the first time I had ever seen him or listened to him...he sounded forced and disingenuous. I don't mind him being a Hawk fan...whatever...does he have to fake anger/outrage to make that show watchable? Made me not want to tune back in...

Not buying it. Big12 road games are tough. There will be some more bumps between now and March.
Look at the schedule. The ONLY one that we might not be favored in is the KU game in Lawrence. Otherwise we should be favored in every single one. Didn’t say they wouldn’t be tough games…but we should definitely be favored.

This x1000. Hassel totally trolls ISU fans... and so many of you fall hook, line, and sinker for it. Relax. Quit being so serious.

Someone earlier in the thread said that Hassel needs to grow up and be a "grown a** man".... why? That would be SO boring... I'd never watch.

Hassel is great IMO. He's trolling because that's his role. His schtick. He doesn't mean most of the **** says when he talks **** about ISU. It works. Because ISU fans on social media sure tune in and get their panties in a wad over everything he says. LOL....
Kind of like how u get your panties in a wad judging Iowa state fans' reactions to him? Sounds like the pot calling......to me. Hmm.

When Hassell talks in anything other than his normal voice, I find it unlistenable and turn it off. Like fingernails on the chalkboard bad. Sounds like a junior high school kid trying to be funny. CW is way better than that and should tell him to stop it.

I think Chris Williams knows what's been good for Chris Williams so far in life...I think we should stick with that. But I think most agree, Hassel needs to grow up and act like a grown-ass man instead of whatever he's doing now.
Agree on so far......

In the long haul, Hassel will not enhance CW's career.

I think Hassel was playing it up a lot. He knows it wasn’t luck but he’s still trying to troll Iowa State because they won. It’s taken a couple years but you gotta learn how Hassel works and operates. He’s just a troll sometimes
I will take Hassle Hassel every day of the week and twice on Sunday for the hawk counter point vs Ross. The noises Hassel makes are like fingernails in a chalkboard though. Don probably spent a lifetime sending Chris outside the house for that crap.

Maybe it was just not what I was expecting? I thought it was going to be a Cyclone fan and a Hawk fan discussing the game...I could go to anywhere in eastern Iowa and easily find a Hawk fan acting like he was acting...I guess I thought it was going to be more of a discussion based show rather than a guy whining and pouting? I don't know...like I said...it was my first time watching.

Freeman had a hanging on the rim that would be a tech half the time, wasn't just normal hang on the rim but like kicking around his legs as much as he could.

They were amped and they had their superbowl win celebrations...midway through the loss.
Haha, I remember that may have been the lamest attempt at destroying the rim. It was like lifting a 5 yr old up so they can dunk on a 7ft rim.

They really struggled with clamping Iowa down; I have to tip my hat. I envisioned a game in which Harding was getting trapped by a pair of 6'4 guards and turning it over.
we did notice that, especially in the first half, Harding and the other Iowa guards were a step quicker than ours. we were having all sorts of problems staying in front of them, but there's a build difference too. Lipsey looks like he has 40 lbs on Harding, so it eventually wore on them, and they had no chance if they tried to body.
I think it's kind of how some cinderella's make runs in the tournament. smaller super quick guards that kinda bewilder your defense initially. We're built to match up with Auburn, Marquette and KU, so it's an adjustment against your Jackson States & Iowas

You people need to lighten up. He's having fun.

Sports content that's just dry x and o's is boring AF.

It's why KFAN is a juggernaut here. They don't do that boring ****.

Pull up your pants, and have some fun. It's supposed to be lighthearted.
