Gee, sorry.Why post the link? Don't give the guy more exposure if you don't like what he writes.

Eh, everyone has their opinion...sometimes the back and forth banter is worth the price of attendance. Those not worth the price of attendance...ignored.This is spot on. Whether you like Randy and his sidekick's style or not, you want to learn something you didn't know when reading their stuff. Rarely happens.
Agree that you can learn far more on CF. Sifting through all the crap is the unfortunate downside, however.
I think it was MiKe Gundy of Oklahoma States press conference at big 12 media days. The second or third question was from freaking Randy Peterson asking about how they're going to handle Brock Purdy? Like wtf how about asking him about his own team and not Purdy??
I hate this guy.
Why can’t he just retire and move to Boji
I caught a bit of it last night, Randy was talking about how Brock Purdy needed to evolve from just having a great arm and running ability, I was really confused, what the **** else is he suppose to do Randy!? Fly? JFCI think he is a nice dude, but he is DREADFUL on the radio for Cyclone Insider. Man I enjoy the episodes when he is gone.

He's at it again. Just can't stop himself from trying to get everybody riled up. Just can't let it drop.
Always pushing the narrative of getting Matt Campbell to the NFL. Why, Randy? Can't you come up with something original?

The columnist's job isn't to reflect your viewpoints. It's to reflect his or hers.
I've enjoyed the stuff coming out of Big 12 Media Days, but let's not get carried away. CF is a fan site managed by fans who happen to have journalism degrees.
For sports reporting on ISU, Dylan Montz at the Ames Tribune and Alex Halsted at 247 are doing the highest quality, most consistent, professional jobs. Tommy Birch writes some interesting stories here and there for the Register.
CF is what it is, which is a forum first and foremost. Any quality posts/articles are just bonus and certainly not the standard here. And that's fine.
I want to see an hour long interview of Les Miles by RP. Now that would be comedy gold right there.
I think Randy thinks he is far superior to all other media. I also think he is a Hawk and is pissed off because he can’t cover themI think he is a nice dude, but he is DREADFUL on the radio for Cyclone Insider. Man I enjoy the episodes when he is gone.
That was Les Miles, dummy.He was on the Morning Rush this morning and basically gave the same opinion.... Randy was really struggling with putting his words together and actually making sense. I was seriously starting to wonder of he was ok.
Randy is a *******You must not be consuming the same CF content that I am. Chris Willams is more than a "fan with a journalism degree" (same goes for Rob and Jared). Those guys work their butts off to put content together that captures stories and angles from events surrounding ISU athletics. To say this place is a "forum first and foremost" is just flat wrong. Chris is a professional broadcaster in a fairly large media market. Rob has history writing for the Register and other Iowa papers. Significant investment and effort is made in podcast and video channels. Articles and podcasts most certainly set the standard here.
If you haven't already done it, listen to Chris and Jay Jordan's wrap up podcast where they talk about the media landscape and media rights. Listen to Jay's recap of his side conversation with Bowlsby about conference legal strategy. That content and analysis is way beyond a couple of guys spitballing on a fan site.
Not trying to be a d**k but your comment came across as pretty dismissive of what this site is delivering day in and day out.

This is harsh. These guys are pros and this is their livelihood. If you don't like it, maybe keep it to yourself?I'm not discounting their effort. It's not a 9-5 job, that's for sure. And like I said, I've found the Big 12 Media Days coverage to be better than what I normally find here.
Rob produces good work. He and Blum produce the best writing on this site, but it's relatively infrequent.
The videos here are usually just press conferences and fluff interviews. Snoozers, but hey, everyone does it. The podcasts here aren't my cup of tea. I rarely learn anything new from either.
The articles are usually littered with typos and grammatical errors. And even when they aren't, they're producing the same fan-service angles as the Register/Ames Tribune/247. That's part of the modern beat, where the coaches and players rarely give any insightful interviews.
If you pay attention to ISU athletics with the fervor that many of us do, the coverage here isn't the standard. Sorry, that's just the truth. Halsted is the standard right now.
And if I'm looking for insight into secondary topics like media landscape and media rights, I can find more authoritative sources than CW and Jay. Once again, it might sound harsh, but it's the truth. Check out The Audible, The Solid Verbal, Campus Conversation, etc.
If you think CF is the standard for Cyclone-related content, I recommend expanding your horizons.
