Well they got their way so I would put in a request and then go to twitter and cry about it when they turn the wasteland down.

Iowa (and many other schools) have rules to who is given press credentials for games. The easiest rule being if it's an independent blog or site it doesn't get a press pass. In theory Ghost, OK4P or yourself could say you run hnwasteland.com and need a press pass to cover the team. Again obviously they could have made an exception because it's Howe and Harty but the fake outrage is a little much. It's not like they couldn't watch on TV and write a "column" like Jan does. I could provide some "Three Day Hangover" pieces to let them know I'm a legit journalist. At least it would be original and not a copy paste of someone else.

no cheering on press row. It's also frowned upon to get hammered prior to the game. It's a pretty sterile atmosphere, ,y guess you wouldn't last more than 5 minutes up there. You're obviously correct. Maybe my angle would be to fuck the team (figuretively) and just to get honest fan feedback and send out a constant torrent of drunk tweets. Figurative pics?

JDM and Kakert are screwed- Howe quit Scout.com to start a new website with...........wait for it...................Pat Harty. I also assume we will not see Butthurt Former Member anymore as I can't believe he wouldn't start hanging out on a website run by his two favorite hawk writers. allhawkeyes.com/Plus at the Subscriber rates it's basically a steal to get their award winning insight- $4.99 a month OR $39.99 a year. Might glance at it once in a while if they paid me at least one hundred dolla a game

LOLZ Just saw on twitter that Iowa didn't credential Howe and Harty for football games this year because they own a private website. I wonder if Jan still gets a press pass when he is in town. So did Gannett finally fire Pharty's ass or wut? Tweeter, you pretend to be a journalist. Can you explain the process of getting credentialed for a football game? I would like to know so I can troll IRL attempt to better understand this injustice.

Tweeter, you pretend to be a journalist. Can you explain the process of getting credentialed for a football game? I would like to know so I can troll IRL attempt to better understand this injustice. I wuz one in a previous life. You have to apply *early* every year for passes, at least for the revenue-generating sports. Schools haz different criteria for who they're going to credential. MSM were virtually assured, no problem. It has really changed, though, with the explosion of blogs and webby sites. Every China-man blogger (cough, cough, Howe, Diesel, Chrissy, etc.) requests a pass and then cries like a baby if they're turned down. There are only X number of seats in the press box (or for basketball on press row) and the SIDs have to figger out who's more legit-er and who's less. I think as long as you submit your request with teh Wasteland logo which includes a Tiger Hawk you should be fine. If you need help, I can call my old buddy Steve Roe and vouch for teh Wasteland. To whom should I try and contact? I don't expect success, I just wanna try.

Unless you were teh Zabel, who could make all sorts of noise in the Kinnick press box. But the golden throats have their separate broadcast booths, which cuts down on the noise some. I have to confess the Clowns had a way better press box than teh Hawks, at least back in the day. In addition to all the regular fare provided to the scribes (soda, popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, burgers, etc.) the Pork Producers catered some outstanding food (BBQ pork, pulled pork, pork sausage, fritters) to the sports writers. And as soon as the final horn sounded, the SID staff came around with coolers full of barley pop. Is all of that SWAG what made Randy Peterson retarded? I have to assume that at one point in time, he was fucking human...

Is that anything like mitten pics? You know Red lost a mitten on campus and never got over it. I wonder if she has any pics of it, maybe in a nice frame she got from work?
