Sullivan- Settles Fanatic hour

Ha! Those two people I'm have some issues So I kinda feel bad
This is what I did in football season after 2 shows and what I will do moving forward. Remember Chuck Long and Jess Settles are Williams childhood hero's too! So between Ross, Anthony and Williams we have a weekly love fest that needs time. Honestly it's clear Sage and Jake are the most entertaining and knowledgeable overall but Settles and Long do a good job when sticking to hawk analysis.

You don’t realize how horrible the local media is until you move out of state. The Kremlin’s press corp is more objective.
When you read this as 'too long' it still makes sense.
Sorry, I'm probably the only person that thinks that's kinda cool.
Wow. Tough crowd. I really enjoy listening to the show. Jake and Jess have terrific insight that comes from a player's point of view. Enjoy Sage and Chuck too. As far as callers go, the show is also broadcast on a station in Iowa City so I assume that is why there is a rush of Hawkeye callers after a bad basketball or football game.
My favorite Anthony call was last year during football season. Chuck challenged Anthony to come up with a question to ask Sage on next weeks show. The following Monday rolls around and like clock work my man A$ is the first call. The A-Train comes on the air with "question for you Chuck blah blah blah 1986 Rose Bowl blah blah blah go hawks and I'll hang up and listen." Chuck, Sage, and Ross all immediately started laughing because Anthony completed snubbed Sage.
It is a hilarious running joke now. He literally acts like Jake and Sage do not exist. I can't tell if he is in on the joke, but I don't think so. I think the guy literally has Hawk blinders on.
My favorite was this year when they are trying to get Anthony to meet Chuck at the book signing. Anthony says great, and then asks Ross to call his dad to give him directions. Following week when he calls in "Ross, did you call my dad yet with the directions?" Lol!
That was solid. Obviously the dude is not all there... I can recall a show last year when he invited either Chuck or Jess to stop by sometime and meet his family.
Ya, I think it's a decent show too. The format is to have both Cyclone and Hawkeye insight so ya gotta expect a little hok talk and some nights there might be more than others. You don't like it change the channel.
One week he was asked to simply acknowledge Sage's existence the following week and he still couldn't do it. He literally could have said "hey Chuck; A man here. I love you and want to have your babies even though I am a man and **** you Sage" and that would have counted.
The Hawk fans that call into Chuck all remind me of this
I'm not a fan of Chuck's but he really tried to keep Anthony from being a toolbag. Even just saying 'hello Sage' one time . . .
I only caught the first block last night but I thought they spent way too much time breaking down why Iowa sucks. They don't have a competent PG and Fran can't manage his rotation. Done. Next topic.
But overall I usually enjoy the show. It's always interesting to get former players' takes on what's going on in both programs. I could stand for fewer listener calls; most of them drag the show down. I like another poster's idea of sifting through Twitter or facebook to pick a few good questions out before the show. Keep up the good work, guys.
