CF/HN Podcast: Jon Miller on the CyHawk game

[mctallerton]

Who hurt you guys?

No one but there are certain "media personalities" in the state that have said things on this site that have shown me that they have no respect for Iowa State, its teams, it's players, its coaches, and it's fans. At that point their opinion means nothing to me. **** iowa

 

[CysRage]

He didn't say that did he?

17:04. Listen for yourself.

 

[Daserop]

Jon is a mirror image of 99% of the Hawk posters on CF. it's crazy

They are all Jon. He just has multiple personalities.

 

[Daserop]

I didn't listen to it, I just came for the comments, because they will be gold. How many people actually listened to the podcast?

same here.

Who hurt you guys?

How do you not understand that most everyone thinks JM is a giant d-bag, and a Hawkeye blowhard. He doesn't give any good insight, and slights Iowa State all the damn time. How that man has a platform to spew his thoughts is beyond me, and people who enjoy listening to him is further beyond me.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed this podcast and not just because I work here. It is nice to hear from a different perspective sometimes.

To be honest, I don't think you can understand the passive aggressive ******** of most Iowa fans, Jon Miller included, unless you grew up an Iowa State fan. Its the constant crap that we've had to put up with for our entire lives. And you can see it in supposedly non biased media sources too (compare the fawning that Leistikow does over Iowa in the Register compared to the normal reporting/analyzing that Randy does for Iowa State).

I'm pretty sure that you and Chris didn't grow up as Iowa State fans. In most ways, that makes you better equipped to run a fan site. But those of us that did grow up as Iowa State fans have a much different perspective on Iowa fans.

And almost all of us don't know Jon Miller outside of his Hawkeye Nation role. I assume he has some good qualities, but I don't see them, so it is very easy and understandable that a lot of Iowa State fans don't like him.

No, I understand. I’m messing with you guys because this is the internet.

His voice is so dull. Ughh.

He used to have a show on KXNO. 2 hours all to himself, where he would spend days talking about the Iowa Football 4 deep roster. That was highlighted by comparing players weights from when they got to campus to that season. Then would basically say he knew nothing about ISU's roster or really anything about ISU. It was radio so bad you just couldn't turn it off at times.

I respect Chris, enjoy his work and most things he does for CF and KXNO, but when it comes to Miller, I just cannot listen. Ever time I hear Miller, see a comment or tweet from him I lose more respect for the man.

Got myself all worked up, so touche!

 

[BryceC]

I generally like JM and listen to his podcast with Deace pretty frequently.

That said, this was simply a troll pod by both Chris and Jon. I'm only 13 minutes in but it's the same dumb tavernhawk jokes that have been on repeat for 20 years.

I enjoy different perspectives but this is just the same perspective.

 

[YeahBuddy]

Agreed, glad I am a part of the 1%.

 

[FerShizzle]

Would rather have Travis Justice "enlighten" me about all things hoks than listen to this one. Sorry Chris, the podcasts are always top notch, but not this time.

 

[YeahBuddy]

How long ago was it Miller wanted Kirk fired? Three years ago? I remember him being very vocal about it.

After the 2014 season, IIRC. David Swartz, who contributes to that wasteland over at HN, is worse then Miller.

Then literally 12 months later, JD is back on he KF wagon.

I have no respect for him. He tries to make bank money off the Unversity and never went to school there and probably hasn't bought a ticket to Kinnick or Carver in 15+ years, doesn't go to games or pressers to cover the team and has probably never donated a dime to Iowa.

He is the definition of a leech.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

I'm not old enough to have had a colonoscopy yet, but I'm assuming the experience is quite similar to spending an hour with Jon Miller.

Colonoscopies aren't that bad.

 

[FerShizzle]

Less than 2 years ago.

No that guy is a a$$hole

That's the fault of those who give him one. In this case, CF.

Thats brutal lol, Williams does a pretty good job for the most part agreed. I wish Blum would do more, he is excellent and a lifelong Cyclone.

I’m sure Blum would love to do more but he has a real job.

Edit: Not that CW and I don’t have real jobs, but one that doesn’t entail talking about the Cyclones every day lol.

This doucher blocked me about 7 years ago on twitter when I told him he had a small wiener. I do not regret it.
