Nothing new in the last couple of days. Must fear losing its press pass.

Occasionally.

Chad is a huge Iowa fan. He's going to walk on egg shells with this one

What do you expect? People with a following can put out their own statements. And any investigating reporting by them can't be done in a matter of days. And Hawk Central, run by them, has been putting out stuff.

I know everyone loves to pile on them (and often times rightfully so) but honest question, what are they supposed to do?

Chad writing a piece that isn't a complete ball washing would be kind of nice to see.

Too bad RandyP doesn't cover the Hoks. There would have been a lot of hard-hitting stories by now...

Tommy John was about to write a false equivalency story about all of the race problems ISU football has but he got demoted to HS Sports.

FWIW, Chad is on furlough this week and can't do anything. I asked him to come on the radio show yesterday and he couldn't.

Yeah, but it is much more fun for some on here to play blame the media.

The only thing I blame Leisty for is being a totally non-objective Hawk cheerleader. But, apparently that is what they want him to be.

Not arguing but Chad has retweeted a bunch of stuff up until 20 hrs ago. Did his furlough start right at your show's time slot yesterday? I think Randy went on furlough recently because he mentioned during one of the the shows that he couldn't use his Twitter account for any reason during that time.

The Hawk football players are taking to Twitter with their new freedom to post which is better than trying to get through all of the ads to get to the nothingburger articles in USAToday Des Moines. Some interesting statements for sure. Not going to crow too much though, it's not like it's a problem only at Iowa and I'm a pretty big "**** Iowa" guy when it comes to their football fans.

There's plenty to complain about besides Leistikow. And not just in the Register but sports media for most of Iowa. I've done so in the lengthy thread on the rivalry board. The volume of coverage has been fairly weak but the tone of the coverage has been even weaker - by that I mean that it doesn't challenge the Iowa football program in any meaningful way. They're all getting lapped by national media and Hawkeye fan web sites of all places.

I'll freely admit I can't consume every bit of media out there, but I do consume a lot. And I'm just not seeing the signs that most places are giving this the weight it deserves.

I just wish some media were as upset as these allegations and ran on hearsey as they did in September with the whole marching band fiasco.
