CW back and forth with Jon Miller on twitter last night.....

[AZmess]

Guess where Jon Miller didn't go to school.

This is still the dumbest comeback.

 

[CYlent Bob]

Don't take any guff from that swine, C-Dub. Next time he gets snarky, tell him that Del Amitri is a seriously overrated band, even for a one hit wonder.

 

[CYlent Bob]

This is still the dumbest comeback.

Arguably, the zenith of his career was doing a show pumping a school he didn't attend....while being matched up with a guy who was a lifelong fan of one B1G school who flunked out of another B1G school and ended up as a mercenary fan of a Big 12 school.

I'm not getting any sense of snarkiness or BS from Miller here on the 1st tweet. I don't get what CW was irritated by. ISU is damn near impossible to beat at Hilton. Play the NCAA tourney in Hilton and ISU whoops ***, round after round. #truth

Yeah, the snark is lost on me, too. He's saying Hilton is a tough place to play, but to do well in the tourney, you have to win away from home, which is true.

 

[AdRock4Cy]

Did all you guys really go to ISU? I didn't. I don't get this argument.

I went to creighton but am an isu fan.

I think it's the "ain't played in that gym" tone. If you've ever heard Miller's voice, you can hear the arrogance. I'm not sure if he's referring to a potential Iowa-ISU matchup in the NCAAs or speaking more generally. If he's speaking generally, he's implying Iowa State won't have postseason success because they can't beat anyone away from Hilton, and that's a "good thing."

Or it's just a Hawkeye blowhard that didn't really think about what he was typing. His main goal was to serve up a zinger for his loyal following of low-life Hayden worshipers.

While CW would be better off not even engaging Miller, I didn't understand Miller's quick jump to "little brother." If that's what Miller wanted to say, he should have just typed it in the original tweet.

 

[CySmurf]

You folks sure are touchy, maybe you should focus on a big win instead of junk tweets.

Well at least you admit that Jon Miller's tweets are junk.

 

[CyDude16]

Look as much as I hate miller, the whole where did you go to school thing is just as stupid as he is.

It's fair game when the guy who didn't go to school there is a for-profit fan.

It's not the end-all, be-all of course. But it is amusing that Iowa's top supporters/journalists/etc, didn't go to Iowa. To me, that is funny. You just don't see that on the Iowa State side.

 

[demoncore1031]

I imagine Jon Miller in real life is like JP from Grandma's Boy. Probably wears a duster around his house. Watches Iowa games in an isolated room like JP's office. Maybe he even talks like a robot sometimes in social situations.

"Adios turd nuggets."

This!!!

 

[CyValley]

It's a dumb argument. I wish it would die too. My parents are diehard ISU fans and have been for decades. Neither went there either.

Me, too ;-) I went to Iowa and only finished up at UNI. Never set foot in an ISU classroom. So what? At the very least, I"m a lifelong State of Iowa taxpayer so I have ownership in Iowa State University. We'll take every ISU fan we can, and like it. No qualifications necessary.

 

[CapnCy]

Miller complimented the Hilton atmosphere, CW thought it was backhanded compliment, then Miller egged it on by calling ISU "little brother". CW squashed it with a fan by saying he and Miller are friends and he wishes people could see their text exchanges. No beef, just banter.

This is what's annoying about social media (I see others do this on fb and twitter in my life).....if they routinely text, then why did a convo like this have to be on a social media outlet?

Because it's twitter and who gives a flying ****?

 

[Booneville]

I wouldn't hear from my kids very often if I didn't have Twitter

 

[CapnCy]

I give slightly less than two *****, but not near the flying **** amount.

Observation as I see folks interact in this digital world.we live in.

 

[ExCyment]

Why would CW dignify the little brother statement by repeating it?

I still refuse to get twatter.

 

[aauummm]

I went to creighton but am an isu fan.

No problem, we'll take ya!

 

[dexterhawk]

Dont most Hawk fans even hate Miller?

Pretty much....that's why I like HR.

Miller just try's to stir up sh%t and his site is a cess pool IMO.
