Just a young kid who doesn't understand where his checks come from. He'll learn and eventually move on to his next gig.

You think nobody ever moves into this state? You have a low opinion of the state if you do.

Are you dense? Of course, but Iowa isn't exactly a bastion of people relocating here from elsewhere and even if they do, they don't all of a sudden become ISU fans.
Central Iowa is full of native Iowans that went to ISU, graduated, and stayed here for a career. That is BY FAR the biggest chunk of people that would give 2 chits about this tweet. Me being one of them.

First, Fk you
Second, Fk him

This is what I sent to the GM:

I'm writing to express my disappointment in a recent "tweet" by an employee of KCCI, Beau Bowman. I've been watching KCCI for most of the entirety of my 50 years of life and supporting the advertisers that support KCCI, but I'm not sure that will continue at this point. As a native Iowan and proud alumnus of Iowa State University, I find it appalling that KCCI would allow an employee (on their KCCI twitter handle no less) express such bias and vitriol towards a school, that quite frankly supports native Iowans, as much or more than any other state institution. Iowa State is having a historic year on the gridiron and the fact YOUR station allows this behavior is unacceptable. In fact, the more I type, the more PO'd I get. Any lack of action against this behavior will be considered by myself, and I'm sure thousands of other Iowans, as acceptance on the part of KCCI.

I hope you consider this a serious matter. There is nothing wrong with showing loyalty for the school you root for, but it is extremely wrong to use your position in the public eye to demean an in state institution that graduates more Iowans than any other state school.

I will wait for something that is MORE than an apology from Beau (which quite honestly nobody will accept as genuine at this point anyhow).

should have just saved a bunch of time and just replied to that guys tweet with:

“**** you *****. Go Rhabdo some black kids and steal parking spots from essential healthcare workers.”

Meh, I don't care. The offseason pretty much confirmed the local media having a pro-Iowa bias.

Just ignore him.

I don't do Twitter. It's a friggin cesspool as demonstrated by this jackarse.

It was pretty crazy that national media covered a local story more than local media.

Calm down bud, yeesh. Then you could probably just say Iowans since nearly all grew up here. The native mantra is one I just never understood the hard love for.

Contractors in Iowa City don't know where their checks come from either.

Wonder if Gary signed Doyle’s?

 

[Carlisle Clone]

Can you imagine this guy going to Ames to ever cover anything Cyclone related after openly rooting against them? Wanting them to get "destroyed" and having to look anyone from the school in the face. What an idiot.

 

[bosco]

They care about us. They really do care about us.

 

[ISUcyclones11]

I have 0 issue with this. He probably wants the reactions anyways, not sure why people get up in arms about this.

Like come on guys this isn't Keith Murphy, he has 800 followers on twitter.

 

[isutrevman]

I don't know how people can even compare conferences right now when literally no one has played each other.

 

[MartyFine]

 

[cyfanatic13]

He's a twit and deserves to hear about it from the GM.

Unacceptable.

Just like the Kum & Go BS last year.

Literally no one believe you're an ISU fan. Stop it.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

A person whose favorite team resides in big 10 calling the big 12 a joke is rich.

 

[baagoe]

if you care about this you’re a baby lmao come on

 

[qwerty]

Dude is from Maquoketa? (Enter Nelson point and laugh pic here).

Hey, Sage was from Maquoketa . . . . It is not all bad.

 

[jcisuclones]

Professional? No. Should people care? Also no.

Good afternoon,

I would just like to let you know about my displeasure with your journalist and his pathetic bias. Beau Bowman is clearly entitled to his opinion but you are supposedly a reputable news organization. To completely write an entire conference off in football simply because Beau has a hawk bias is laughable. I will not be watching your channel and I will be encouraging others to boycott your product as well. All us Cyclones want is some dignity for crying out loud.

Get bent, sincerely,

All Cyclones.
