It is funny seeing people who spend all day commenting on Cyclone Fanatic say they would rather spend their money on more noble causes than Iowa State athletics.
Williams & Blum: More Cyclone Therapy

Cy-Hawk rivalry is not the true center of the Two Guys show. It is the relationship of the two Chris's. Hence, the all-purpose t-shirt back from when the show started. It applies to each of them at some point in most episodes.
Yep. If this doesn't get fixed, and soon, all college sports championships will simply boil down to a random selection of the half dozen teams capable of investing the most. Take the coaches out of it, the game day environments, the team chemistry and player development, and it will all boil down to the money. It's out of control and while I love ISU and always hope they do well, this new era takes a lot of the stuff that made college sports fun and torches it.
That's because Hassel is a troll and literally cannot do anything other than mimic human emotions.
I think it boils down to Dr. Wintersteen and Pollard coming up with a medium term plan for the revenue sharing that they could live with and sticking to it through the transition, because it's appropriate to revisit at that time. Obviously the new guy is going to have critical input on whether that plan is still operative or something else gets done. Nobody knows yet what will be different, but ISU's cash reserves are being drawn down and all infrastructure prioroties in the department are currently on hold. It can't just be vibes.

Iowa Everywhere exists to get Hawkeye fans to tune in because CW already has the bulk of Cyclone fans listening in a dedicated way to shows from CF. Most of the major personalities over there are openly Hawk fans. It's fine to be interested in market expansion.
Regardless if Iowa State can keep up… I feel like my fandom will slowly die.
Perpetual free agency and a lack of connection to a professional city slowly killed my NFL fandom.
I don't know why the same things wouldn't do the same thing to me college fandom.

He certainly won't like anyone else getting credit or attention for anything. lol sad but true.
Hassell is hilarious - I can’t imagine an easier fanbase to troll than us. We are sooooo sensitive and he’s just joking and laughing at us every show.
ISU fans are incredibly easy to troll. This is a fact well known on social media.
Welcome to the Cyclone Fanatic Network brought to you by our friends at Prozac.
I think many of the Hok sports journalists are true 'Hok' but Hassle is almost parody and it's only been a little but from what I've seen he does some good stuff.
I don't get why anybody likes him but there's no accounting for taste as my grandma used to say
I would probsbly get annoyed after a while and honestly have maybe watched 2GNC twice but I also think people take him way too seriously.
Remember, the H is silent in Hassell's name.
Fundraising usually isn't an everyone for themselves deal.
Certain big donors/corporations may be protected. The primary ISU relationship could be the President, College Dean, ISU Foundation vs. Athletic Department.
Blum’s account of last year having to scramble in 48 hours to get more money from donors to keep Jefferson, Momcilovic and Lipsey from transferring - was sobering.
There is no loyalty anymore.
