Marty is being an idiot on this point ,but I will disagree with the comment that NBA-D league BB isn't fun to watch. It is actuallly a pretty incredible group of talent on the court for these games.

KXNO must really fear getting rid of him than because if I were some of these franchises I think I'd start to stand up for myself instead of taking this crap

If the local semipro franchises got up in arms every time somebody criticized them for being boring, they wouldn't have time to play any games.

Besides Rome and M and M, and occasionally Jon's show there is no reason for me to listen to KXNO.

Mike and Mike is 1000000x time better than Cotlar.

Same here

I've noticed during Rome a lot of ads for Knxo local shows...I dont know if this is just bad ratings or local business cut back during a bad economy.

Lately I have been turning off M & M with all the MVC talk..who cares, god I know you are drake honks and now uni but man BORING...

Jon Miller.....

First i am an ardent ISU fan, supporter and contributor. Period.

I happen to like JM when he isnt going on and on about EIU. He is informed, honest, insightful and able to distinguish journalistic jibberish from fact. And he is not particularly p.c.

Cottlar - now he IS beyond boring, super repetitive and a p.c. guru. Before he began the Drake play by play he didnt say sickum about Drake or the MVC. Now its non stop. Bob and Tom are hugely better in the morning.

M & M - an eastern idiot who rides herd over a wimp and together suck

Steve was more fair in your eyes because he was shooting at the Hawks.

Which is understandable, but you can't be so blind to that, can you?

I'll disagree with that. Steve was more fair because he COULD shoot at the hawks. He also shot at ISU. You can shoot at ISU, no doubt about that...break out the Bottom 10 lists, point out idiot CF postings (and act like it is a major portion of the fanbase), detail prestige rankings...all with the slightest bit of glee in your voice. The problem is, you CAN'T shoot at UI. I'm betting that those fans pay more of your income than KXNO does. And without good contacts at UI, those website memberships go away. Look, I understand why you have to tiptoe around UI. It's business and being able to provide for the family. Just don't pretend to be the slightest bit fair....not even close to as fair as Deace was. I ain't buyin it.

I dont know how a radio station can make money when atleast half of their commerical sports are promoting their own shows.

Their programming has drastically gone down hill. I don't know if its the lack of competition but the local shows they have are really sub par.

Cotlar knows very little about sports and will not take a side on anything.

Jon Miller's show is boring.

Marty and Miller's show is nothing more than shock jock radio.

It wouldn't suprise me at all if people are given another sports alternative, even if it is a national show, will tune into that over the stuff on KXNO.

An accurate assessment in my opinion!

I bet if they actually had a Cyclone radio host to counter Miller, their ratings would go up. There are allot of Cyclone fans in the Des Moines area and they are isolating us.

I don't care how much Jon Miller claims to cover the Cyclones, he is still a hawk and at every moment possible he reminders us of it. And airing our WBB team and coaches shows doesn't make up for it.

I don't care for Cotlar's show. He brags about his "massive rolodex" of stars which apparently is only full of iowa college coaches and assistants and Smokin' Joe Frazier. Because, yes, he's still relevant. zzzzz

As far as M&M go, I am of the group that loves to hate them. I like to listen to them to get riled up and yell at my radio. But I am s-i-c-k and t-i-r-e-d of the knob polishing towards sponsors. If I could go the rest of my life without hearing one more story about going to some game with one of the doctors from the orthapedic medicine place, the toyota of Des Moines people or centurian stone or another LAME, BORING interview with Vicky Stogdill. Yes, I realize these people pay the bills, but make it a little less obvious that they're your only advertisers. M&M try so hard to make it clear that they're doing all these great things and the audience isn't.

And if you have anything negative to say, feel free to call in and get shouted down by Marty. He sure loves to put listeners in their place so everyone knows he's the best.
