Always look forward to the bi-weekly scolding of ISU fans. Was not disappointed.

I understand CW's point to an extent. Fans started lashing out at him and Blum because Cluff went to Purdue like it was their fault or something.

 

[CYdTracked]

Listening to this right now, CW is dead on about some fans freaking out about our guys who entered the portal (Watson, Rock, Fish, Nojus) "if they would of helped, they would of played." EXACTLY!

Honestly it’s impossible to win with some. It’s getting exhausting. Thanks for listening.

Hang in there, Brent. You're the man in the arena, not the critics.

Appreciate that. CW and I talked last night, it’s a young person’s world these days, maybe it’s time to hand the baton off! This basketball season and now portal just seems like the reactions have been way over the top to everything. I always like seeing feedback to improve so I like engaging to see how we can do better. Always open to suggestions.

I thought the criticism of fans over reacting was absolutely warranted. People shooting the messenger for decisions made by 18-22 year old kids. A lot of our fans should put their phones down and go get a hobby instead.

Keep up the great work Blum!

**** them kids.

I think ending the season on a tough stretch, getting upset in the tourney, and then immediately losing out on your top portal target has given the most negative fans a lot of energy. It’s all over the boards too.

Number one rule to keep in mind is that fans are stupid.

Don't take it personal. I thought it was funny! I love listening to the show, never miss one.

Brend in for CW would be an upgrade

Hope you guys know the vast majority just enjoy listening to the pod and those overreactions are coming from an annoying and loud minority. Kinda like the flack players get on social media too. Doesn't make reading/hearing it feel good, but there are plenty of us out here happy to consume the content and just keep on without commenting. Maybe we could all be better at expressing that appreciation for your time and entertainment

You're effectively invisible if you're not logged on permanently. Things are not going to get better. They will only get worse in that sense. AI and quantum computing are going to really turn the tables over.

Cedar Rapids Gazette story on Williams makes a big deal about her announcement “reintroducing” herself … but forgets to mention her first name.

(I don’t blame Rob Gray, I blame the lack of editors at publications these days)

Perfect!
