Who out there is at least SOMEWHAT relieved that the season is over... considering the barrage of non-stop coverage/talk over the past few months. Count me in. I'm not afraid to say it. I don't HATE Drake, or even dislike them... but, I'm a Hawkeye fan first and I guess I felt like I was being force-fed with Drake coverage. All that being said, major props to them for a hell of a season. Now, we can talk about Spring Football again!  |

Shut the hell up douchenozzle. The spring game is in April. Now you can focus your energy on watching teams like Kansas and Duke and listening to ESPN spoogefests over them and Tyler fucking Hansborough. You seriously suck ass.

I agree w/you on the ESPN spoogefests of DOOOOOOke, NC, etc. But, at least now I can listen to local sports without having Drake, Drake, Drake, Drake, Drake, Drake, Drake shoved down my throat 24/7. It got a tad old. |

I got some news for ya bud, the shitbag media elite types on local radio in whatever bumblefuck town you live in will still be talking about Drake for a few days next week, just like they would if Drake won the game and then inevitably lost on Sunday.
Now what the hell are the media elites gonna talk about? Is O'Kweefe implementing a new offense? Is Norm actually going to design a blitz that entails something other than a 260 farmboy with blazing 4.9 speed telegraphing his blitz and getting stood up at the line? The Hawks are gonna suck ass in football and will be lucky to ever win a game ever again. The clowns will man handle us. We will lose to Maine. Northwestern will put up 56 points on us. At least we ducked Western Fucking Michigan next year.

Hopefully the local media are going to talk about the national wrestling championship that Iowa will win.

Local media is talking about Drake? What the hell else does the local media have to talk about?
Des Moines has a real Napoleon complex in the media; they want to be big time so bad, but they have nothing.

But, I still have HIGH HOPES!! (hit the music) C'mon Ralph! Have a scotch and relax a little. |

Go look at my bracket. It's all over now. I had a similar bracket in my work pool. Oh well, I won it all last year. Can't win two years in a row or no one else will join next year.
Ghost is right. Local media in Neck Moines sucks ass. Is that hero of the ultra left Reekha Bassu still spewing her tripe all over town?
Now some shitbag just burned a bag of microwave popcorn and the stench is wafting into my office. What a shitty day.

Let me re-state that I DO NOT hate Drake. Not at all. All I am saying is that it got old to hear/read/see Drake constantly. I guess what really irks me is how the local media hacks could not fellate Drake fast enough when they started making this season magical. But this same media made very little mention of Drake early in season. In other words... I have a major distaste for bandwagoners... and the local media were the worst of the lot! I guess maybe I should have just said it that way. |

Don't worry Gumby, I'm with you on this one. The people outside of the Des Moines broadcasting area have no idea how bad it has gotten.

im with ya gumby...its like that with me on any news event. I cant tell you how sick I was of hearing about the VT shootings or the countless missing hickers, trapped miners, or people who were murdered/missing on vacation. News events sometimes get saturated regardless of how heart wrenching or heart warming of a story it is. I guess when they are the only IA team to make the bracket, the Iowa news teams have to talk about em.

Come on Gumby, don't be a wuss. If you don't like Drake, then just say it.
Personally, I can' t stand them. They beat the hawks, and as a true Hawkeye fan, I despise the teams that beat them. Ralph is a liberal, love-everyone, hippie that just wants to start being a big Drake fan now that they are good. Trust me, I've seen this at least 20 times since I pulled him out of the gutter and got him through law school. He always starts liking the teams that are good, but then when they suck he starts slamming on them. Just look at the posts in this thread. He is no longer a hawk fan, but back when we were winning 10 games per year he was all like "Hey man, Like KOK is the best OC the Big 10 has ever seen." And when SA won a couple of Big 10 (tourney) Titles, he was all like "Hey man, like Steve Alford is the best coach - especially with his ability to develop big men."
Now he's a Drake fan (for basketball). I know he's all over the Illinois board now too, so he's probably a Ron Zook fan too.

Really, I never had ANY real opinion of Drake since... well... since they're Drake. Basically, the same reason why I don't hate Coe College, Wartburg, Simpson or any other small school. But, now that Drake's season is over, it will be nice for the media around here to actually WORK for a change and come up with some different topics of discussion. |
