Anyone have a few main points from the call-in-show for CPR? I dont seem to ever have any success finding show online even with the cyclone radio network affiliates...

If it's like the games, it shouldn't be online. The CRN affiliates are supposed to shut down their live streaming for the games at least (not sure about other content). Free streaming stations online undercut the market for cyclones.tv. The good part, is cyclones.tv is always there.

I know it's $80, but I enjoy mine, especially since I can't make it to games.

Listened to the call in show tonight via cyclones.tv through my Android phone. Love it. CPR mentioned he thinks our defense is playing its best season so far, opposing teams are respecting our defense. Coach believes the top three things the program needs to do to improve past 6 wins a season are to pass accurately, score more points and... i think stop the run (not in that order). Also he said the three positions for recruiting in terms of importance (and in order) are QB, DLine, CB. He thinks that Sam Richardson and Grant Rohach are both very accurate passers. He also has noticed that teams like to blitz against us approximately 10% more often then they do other opponents. It was a pretty good call in show tonight.

The only thing that is "special" are the callers.

I never listened to the show until they started having it on cyclones.tv this year. Good lord, its like a train wreck. It makes me feel like we have the stupidest fan base in the world. I curse cyclones.tv for airing it. Why oh why have I subjugated myself to watching it the last few weeks? Help me.

I never thought it was that bad. I've learned quite a bit from them. I think its fair to say that every fan base has its share of stupid fans. Maybe they call into shows like this more often then the average fan idk. If you listen to CPR and John Walters its actually a pretty good show to watch or listen to.

Is Rhoads going "Moneyball/Sabermetric" on us? I hope so. People (head coach, OC, DC) have tendencies and a good statistician could help point out some holes in the opposing teams offense and defense.

Yeah, the "regulars" who call in every single week can be a little "overzealous" to put it nicely. Every fanbase with a call in show has them.

I focus most of my attention on John and CPR. They talk about a lot of good stuff during the show. And I agree, if you want to improve the quality of questions asked, then call in.

If I don't have anything else going on during the show I like to watch just to see the faces of Walters/Pollard/Rhoads as they react to the questions.

Did we get a Diamond Dave call telling CPR that he supports him 100%? What about Cyclone Jerry? Denny in Clear Lake update?

I think that Rhoads has always used statistics quite a bit. At the begining of the year he mentioned how often teams score depending on starting field position. I think that is why they are kicking off high/short with the new rules. I really wish he would relook at blitzing/disguiesing their coverages more.

If we could find some way, any way, to make defenses pay for blitzing it would really help out our whole offense, passing and running. I don't know if that comes down to scheme or talent though.

I didn't listen but I really need to know, and I'm sure this question was asked... What time do the busses leave and what time will they get back?

No, never. It's always 110% to 1000% depending on his mood. Not a statistician that one.

And the calls are filtered to keep ones on the air that are deemed "safe". No ranting, trolling, unknowns allowed as much as possible, so .......
