WTF Cowherd?

[ruxCYtable]

I generally like Cowherd, but he just said, "The best high school basketball recruits aren't gonna choose Iowa State. They're gonna choose...(the usual suspects.)" Has he not seen our team the last few years? Granted, we've done a lot of damage in the portal, but we've had some great high school recruits as well.

 

[JM4CY]

People still listen to Cowherd?

Also who gives a ****? I’d rather pay a transfer than get pretty much any HS recruit.

Cowterd.

Not religiously, just still had iHeart app on after DP. Was about to switch to some murder **** when he said that.

Pay no attention to Cowherd. Talk show personalities love to throw stuff out to get reactions.

I mean I don't see the Cyclones pulling a Zion or Flagg type of recruit if that's what he's insinuating. But I'd disagree that ISU won't get top 10/ top 5 positional players in annual classes.

I know. Still pisses me off though. Top 25 programs in both football and basketball should get you out of his regular rotation of punching bags.

What was the context or why was he talking about Iowa State?

 

[ClonesFTW]

He's admitted on air he's paid to have hot takes for 3 hours a day to drive ratings and clicks. I'll at least give him credit for acknowledging what he says is not necessarily his opinion, it is what earns his show revenue.

Skip Bayliss and others still act like they aren't trolling for clicks.

Not talking about Iowa State. Just spewing some stuff on recruiting and apparently ISU was the first team he could think of to denigrate.

The year Texas won the national championship, The Big 12 went 7-1 in bowls and 8-0 against the spread in bowls...Cowherd spent that entire season obsessed that the big 12 was the worst major conference in college football.

There was another year where his big thing was Ben Simmons is a better version of Magic and LeBron.

So...yeah.

Nobody under 40 watches Boomer TV anyways.

Credit where credit is due, the guy is good at this part of his job.

 

[Cychl82]

That guy sucks, stop listening to him lol

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Remember when ESPN was about televising sports and showing clips? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

 

[Pope]

Not a huge fan of Cowherd, especially when he was critical of Purdy, but I gotta give him credit for branding Iowa as the "fake ID of college football".

That was genius.

 

[ClubCy]

I mean…..so far historically (outside of Omaha I guess) is he wrong? He probably just thought of the first non blue blood school off the top of his head.

We. Don’t. Have. To. Take. Offense. To. Everything.

The fact that this thread is a thing proves he won.

And just now he said Deion will never be as good a coach as Matt Campbell, among others. All is right with the world again.
