Should Randy Peterson retire?

[MeanDean]

Did you retire because the McDonalds in Okoboji has the best diet coke?

Do TJ's tight shirts make you feel inadequate, or do you just feel like retiring anyway?

 

[JM4CY]

We need to come up with a list of RP type (out of left field) questions to have asked at his retirement party.

If a Unicorn was born in Germany, would it come to the US via rainbow or boat?

Finally. Good riddance.

If Randy had a news conference about his retirement, I’d go full Randy mode, making the story about someone else and say to Randy “Sid Hartman from Minneapolis was still writing articles in his late 90s.”

 

[CyCrazy]

Does this make Hines the Sr. ISU reporter? I'm not really impressed with him either.

Hines is terrible.

Not understanding the negativity w/ Randy Pete.... After living in eastern Iowa off and on for decades I've had to endure the blatant daily bias and hack journalism w/ everything 'Hawkeye'. Randy is a nice option besides C.F.

 

[carvers4math]

Wonder which Hawk fan they will replace him with, or maybe they will just cover ISU even less?

And then he would come out of retirement. Keep these thoughts to yourself.

I’d love to see Randy go full Leroy Jenkins and just fire away the biggest most insane barrage of random questions to any and all coaches/players at the Big 12 and NCAA tournament. Go out in a blaze of glory!!!

I for one never disliked Randy. I enjoyed his articles though he was a tough listen on the radio. As @AttackOfTheClones stated he was so much better than slanted coverage in eastern Iowa though Randy is a Drake alum. Sounds like he was a true professional in the biz and will be missed.

He definitely wasn’t bias. I’ll give him that. Half the time I didn’t know what he was, but I don’t think he did either

Does he still write for the DSM Register? If he does, he'd make a fine poster boy for the demise of print media.

Back in the day, the Big Peach was golden.

 

[cyatheart]

Well, not sure, but I can't imagine it can get much worse. Time will tell.

Careful what you wish for. It can always get worse.

I always thought it was strange he continued to cover Cyclone sports after his brothers was busted by the university for having kiddy porn on his office computer.

Brother?

 

[Cyforce]

Brother?

Sorry yes singular. I'll correct.

I'm glad I'm not held accountable for my own bro... That's the way it should be.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Sorry yes singular. I'll correct.

I wasn't correcting grammar - I was wondering what brother? I thought the coach's name was Randy Brown.

Same first name

Nobody can fill 5 minutes of air time with 7 seconds of actual content better than Randy Peterson.
