I feel that if Ken Miller is ripping on Iowa State, then we're probably doing something right.
If Miller starts singing ISU praises, then it's time to be truly concerned.
It is kind of ironic how the media carries the "Iowa State will NEVER be good in football - they'll never get quality players to Ames" meme.
Then when a quality player DOES commit to ISU they get all, "Why doesn't he pick Notre Dame or Iowa?" on us.
Radio sucks and has for the last 10 years. (thank you Janet Jackson) They have pushed the talented well paid professionals out of the profession and replaced them with $10/hr no talent trolls. I believe I'm being very generous in saying $10/hr. They are just bitter, underpaid DJ's that go home and drink themselves to sleep in the hell they've surrounded themselves in. Take them for that and you'll learn to listen to them in the context of comedy radio.
I've always considered Ken Miller the least-biased and most-knowledgable guy on the radio in this market. I mean that. But with that said, after today's show, it seems he's followed the lead of other butthurt media types on this one. The press conference has been completely blown out of proportion because the Reg and radio types like M & A and M & B don't like be called out for hounding and singling out an 18-yr-old kid.
Miller and Brinson brought up this topic an hour into their show Wednesday, so it was not near as the taking point that it was yesterday.
If you don't think they all read message boards, find the most takes about subjects, and then try and create buzz for people to listen and call into their show, then your stupid.
The fact that there is a thread on CF about this means that they have won.

It depends on what you're using to judge recruiting. If it's Rivals, which seems to be preferred by most, then Mac actually had better rankings in the conference on average then CPR. CPR has been last or next to last every single year. Mac had some classes in the middle of the pack. Mac wore out at ISU and it was time to move on for both him and ISU but he was and is a pretty good coach.Not in Iowa so don't know the specific comments.
But any comparison of Mac and CPR is silly. As just one objective measure, I believe CPR has had more upset victories in his coaching career than Mac had in twice as many years. And I liked Mac. Not trying to rip on him at all and happy he found success at NT. But CPR is a better coach (and recruiter) during a much more difficult competitive landscape.
Put a gun to their head and make them choose, I believe Miller, Murph and Andy would all pick ISU over Iowa. While I agree that there are lots of admitted hoks on the radio (and O admitted Clones) I think you guys are way way too sensitive about this stuff. They can't be critical of ISU without being a hok homer? That's their job. All three of those guys regularly hammer the hoks on stupid $hit they do.
