So, when I was on the radio...

Some quick background: These knuckleheads have been on the radio since I was a kid. After being fired for stealing money or writing bad checks or something, they spent some time in a different market and just recently returned to Des Moines to start up their show again.

On Monday, they were discussing college football from the weekend and some recent news that ISU and Iowa were both slated to be on ABC November 1.

My call (the second call of the show) came at about the 20 minute mark. They were in prime Hawkeye form for the first 19 minutes. They are supposed to remain unbias amongst in-state teams, but clearly during those first 19 minutes they didn't do a good job of hiding it. To cover it up, I think they got a little cynical during the fight song (20 arrests, section 8 housing ect).

Marty was besides himself about the decision regarding whether or not to put Iowa or ISU on ABC-regional, saying that it should not even take an ounce of consideration–Iowa should be shown.

And they were real quick to disapprove of the ISU fan (hung up on him) who called in to express his utter disbelief that Iowa fans were focusing on a win instead of the fact that Ferentz’s son got a drinking ticket.

It was a classic moment and although I only got to say a fraction of what I was going to say because that blabering bafoon Marty Terrell interupted me, I'd like to think I took part in starting their little discourse.
