Chris Hassell = another hawk

Re: Chris Hassell = another hawk dbag

I have to admit, the story didn't go as planned. The repeated kicks in the crotch were not originally going to be part of the story...and they should not have been part of the story. Some things fell through, and I made a decision to break up the events with the kick...BAD decision.

Also, the numbering of the list wasn't my call. I received input from a few others.

Keith and Andy will count down the 10 biggest Hawkeye kicks to the stones on tomorrows radio show.

Maybe you guys should remember you are doing a sportscast instead of variety show comedy routine. Save it for the Funnybone.

Re: Chris Hassell = another hawk dbag

I've noticed something. Everytime somebody in the media says something negative about ISU, they are a "Hawkeye dbag", but when something negative is said about Iowa, they are, "spot on". Interesting.

Maybe the point is that all hawks are dbags? I would go ahead and say that is correct.

I agree, it is pretty funny to watch.

Can anyone disagree that ISU gets kicked in the stones a lot?

no... everyone on this board (other than the hawk trolls) have been fans and, at least in my case, in my 23 years of being on the earth, we have had a LOT... I MEAN A LOT... of kicks in the nuts... and from what I saw of the story... they picked a pretty decent list... I'm still upset about most the things on that list... although, was the Independence bowl vs. Alabama kick on there? That was a shot in the nuts too... (it was good. I refuse to believe anything else.)

Re: Chris Hassell = another hawk dbag

Why do you say that?

If you have to ask, that just furthers the argument...

When I saw the original skit on Soundoff, I laughed a bit (it hurt, but I laughed). When I saw the skit being repeated over and over on the news last night, I turned the channel.

Showing a skit like that on Soundoff is okay because the show is all about making fun of the Cyclone and Hawkeye passion, but does a skit like that belong on the news? You've gone from reporting the news to mocking a program and the passionate fans, like me, who follow that program. That's why I turned the channel, and that's why I'll be watching channel 8.

Channel 8 has a bunch of Hawks on that channel too.

What I like about WHO is they try to have fun. Perhaps sometimes they play it out or go slightly too far, but Channel 8 is pretty boring to watch.

Try not to take it so personal when they make fun of the Cyclones. When we're doing well, they will give us our props....

Hassell does do the twitter, just not very often.

God forbid people try to inject humor into various things in your life. Some people are just so uptight that anything but delivering the news in a monotone voice is unacceptable.

And if you don't think that ISU has been kicked in the stones more often that not, you aren't a Cyclone fan. We could do a Top 100 Kick to the Stones.

IThe Anti Pollard blame every thing possible on Pollard. My dog died... Blame Pollard. It's raining.. Blame Pollard. I got a pimple on my rear end... Blame Pollard

I suspect this may get thrown in to the cave, but if you insert "Bush" for "Pollard" you'll see something that is prevalent in today's discourse. Although I disagree, it is no surprise to me that that there are so many that think it must be Pollard's fault.

Re: Chris Hassell = another hawk dbag

I don't mind Hassell, but his rankings were just ridiculous...he thought it was more painful losing to UConn at home in football than losing an 8pt lead with 4:50 to go against Michigan State (where if we would've won, we would've been heavy favorites to win the whole thing)...he also thought that losing Chizik was more devastating than losing Sanderson...I'm a firm believer that it will take a couple more years to see what Chizik's recruits that were freshman or redshirted last year do before we completely judge his time at ISU...but to say losing a 5-19 coach is as devastating as losing a guy that led ISU to 3 straight Big Twelve titles, had us in the top 5 every year, as well as being the number 1 or 1a best wrestler in our school's history is ridiculous.

Losing to MSU was the most pain I've ever felt as a sports fan. Nothing else is even close. We're talking about the cusp of a freaking national championship!

Hey, you're starting to catch on. Your education is starting to pay off.

 

[Stewo]

Personally, I love channel 13. I grew up watching channel 8, but that changed once I got out on my own. They have BY FAR the best sportscasters in DM and most likely, the state. They all love their job and make it a point to have fun on the show. If that's too tough for you to handle, luckily for you, there are other stations to watch.

I agree. It's SPORTS.

If you want more homicide, rape, child molestation, corrupt politicians, fires, murders, deaths, set your DVR for the first 15 minutes of a news report.

And now, the weather.

Wow, you are a genious. You just happened to notice that over here and not on one of your howk boards?

For a minute there, I thought you were talking about Hawkeye football.:wink:

How can you be a Cyclone fan and not have a sense of humor???

Lighten up people

 

[TarHeelHawk]

Anyone catch Hassell's latest piece of reporting on this evening's 10 oclock news? Top ten times Iowa State has got kicked in the stones during the last 10 years. If I were his gooney looking hawk buddy in his little skit I wouldn't have missed though...

I believe his his "goony looking" Hawk buddy was Steve Deace. By the way, welcome to Monday afternoon.

 

[rdubbs]

Jake Kelly's departure hurts but I think 99.9% of the Hawk fans understand why he left (I don't consider it a kick to the stones but whatever Hassel)
