No way, it will still be Broctober.Kansas is going to beat Iowa State next week.
1953 Nash Rambler with delusions. Sort of like ISU and its fans.Landjet? Are they riding in a 1964 Buick?
Men talking about poker is right up there. I see that in his future at some point.I like beer (Brett Kavanaugh voice). I like local beer. I like trying breweries when one opens or I’m traveling.
I’m not sure there’s anything less interesting than men talking about beer.

Yeah, all it will take is him participating in a $10 buy in charity tournament and a few episodes of Poker After Dark and he’ll be acting like he’s Texas Dolly.Men talking about poker is right up there. I see that in his future at some point.
It’s mind blowing that he thinks he’s that interesting of a human beingHe's done a sports betting one. One with his pastor, I don't recall if it was political or what it was about. I'm sure there's others
Jon wanted to be the successor to Zabel, not the job specifically but the emotional leader of Hawkeye fandom. You could actually tell that he had some reverence for him when they had the postgame.Looking back on it, because of the time it happened, Jon Miller kinda did something similar. Had the Hawkeye site, got a radio gig, all of the sudden was on Mediacom, hosted shit with Zabel, then drove to Chicago once.
Only difference is Jon didn’t have the luxury of smart phones and podcasts. I guarantee he would have done similar shit at the same age.
in Chris’ defense, is this really a bad idea, given the evolution of how people consume media?Jon wanted to be the successor to Zabel, not the job specifically but the emotional leader of Hawkeye fandom. You could actually tell that he had some reverence for him when they had the postgame.
Chris apparently wants to be the Joe Rogan sort of Everyman/Renaissance man of Iowa State.
Jon was more successful in sheer numbers (he did make BTN, the WHO slot is pretty big, KXNO rated better than now), Chris is probably more successful within the ISU community.
I would like this except for the part about you saying Jon was knowledgeable about Hawkeye sports.Jon at least stuck to a topic he was familiar with and knowledgeable of. Hawkeye sports.
Chris has portrayed expertise and fascination/kind of a hobby/does podcasts in parenting, stonks, auto racing, physical fitness, local newspapers, bourbon, “the business of sports”, Coronavirus, craft beer, digital media, fundraising, gambling, WWE, rural Iowa, fireworks, country music, hip hop music, UFC, tailgating, fantasy football, the Liberty Bowl, drinking, European soccer, Iowa State football, Iowa State basketball, Iowa State WBB, smoking meat, mentoring, Major League Baseball, legal matters, popular culture, politics, sports marketing. I’m sure I’m missing a lot.
EditedI would like this except for the part about you saying Jon was knowledgeable about Hawkeye sports.
If people are willing to listen to him or pay money for ads on his show, it’s a fine idea. If people want politics or life advice from someone you know about because he talks about your favourite sports team, have at it. Same with Rob or Jon.in Chris’ defense, is this really a bad idea, given the evolution of how people consume media?
That's because Miller doesn't watch a good chunk of iowa games, or at least didn't for a while. He'd jump on Twitter in the 2nd halfWasn’t Jon Miller briefly the WHO radio “sports director?” I seek to remember that announcement, as if it were a bid deal, because something something Reagan and Zabel.
For all the ridiculous things that are true about Miller, he’s been able to make an actual living doing something else. Hey Guys has the only job he’s capable of holding. He almost has enough half-assed interests to fill a single general interest, listens-because-we-like-the-same-football-team podcast. Instead, ten different topic-specific podcasts, none of which will exist in a year.
hahaha I didn't know that. What a dolt. Time with your family is of course important but he chose not only a weekend job, but a job limited to specific weekends. Take your daughter to the apple orchard on a Tuesday or whatever.I forgot to add, he has a whole lot of entitled Jon Miller in him.
I laughed a few weeks ago when he posted on twitter that he was choosing not to cover the Texas Tech vs. Iowa State football game because he needed a break and wanted to take his little girl to the game.
The guy has one fucking job, and that is to cover Iowa State football and basketball. Even in a pandemic shortened season where he has gotten more time with his kids than ever while media members all over the country lose their jobs and he begs for patron money, he has the balls to take the day off covering a home game.

It'd be like being a CPA and taking a long vacation over tax season.
It also is laughable when 50% of his twitter feed seems to be dedicated to showing his followers what an incredible dad he is.Yeah that's something.
It's obvious he's in a complete bubble. For Morehouse, too, though probably to a lesser extent because he had more actual job requirements.
He has a job covering his favorite sports teams with time and freedom to do whatever the fuck else he wants but pretty soon it just becomes what he's used to so he thinks a vacation day during the season makes sense. It's textbook hedonic adaptation.
Right, my point about Miller is if you took his current situation and placed it in the 2005 version of him, he'd definitely have a propane podcast. He'd probably have a Star Wars one as well.Wasn’t Jon Miller briefly the WHO radio “sports director?” I seek to remember that announcement, as if it were a bid deal, because something something Reagan and Zabel.

That's fair, and you're probably right.Right, my point about Miller is if you took his current situation and placed it in the 2005 version of him, he'd definitely have a propane podcast. He'd probably have a Star Wars one as well.
That's performative bullshit. It has to be announced days in advance that he won't make 20 tweets read by 200 people during a football game, BUT FEAR NOT, he will be there for post-game coverage. And by "won't make 20 tweets," in reality there will be an imperceptible drop in tweet volume, but instead of saying nothing about football, he will say nothing about how different it is to "be a fan."Except on a beautiful Saturday to spend with his daughter
Not to mention he could also spend quality time with his daughter any one of the many nights when he's drinking and watching TV.As you said, he is a guy that could take his daughter anywhere at most anytime. His one job is to be fully engaged and cover Iowa State football and basketball.
Nope, "choosing quality time with my girl on a beautiful day."
It's so fucking arrogant and insulting to everyone in the sports media industry. Somehow the State of Iowa ended up with him and Morehouse, two of the dumbest and most entitled twats around.
Kids don’t recognize the concept of work hours. If you are paying attention to them during the week they aren’t going to care if you are at a football game on Saturday,, or vice versa.Not to mention he could also spend quality time with his daughter any one of the many nights when he's drinking and watching TV.
Maybe don't turn on cartoons and have your infant stare at the screen, maybe instead use that opportunity for some quality time.
I'll say it, he's a pretty shitty companion for his wife and probably doesn't pull his fair share as a parent.
He works from home the vast majority of the time, and has posted how he's home with his kid most of those days. I think that covers "his fair share" whatever the hell that means.Not to mention he could also spend quality time with his daughter any one of the many nights when he's drinking and watching TV.
