    talking about in Des Moines. The Quad Cities is even worse from what I've heard.

      Is there much of any local sports-talk in the QC? I think radio in general over there is pretty bad.

          My wife and I had tics and were surrounded by badger fans. They were all very friendly and nice. They complimented our football program repeatedly. I had expected some wise guys etc...but never encountered any. On our way out of the stadium we were invited into a couple post game gatherings and the Bucky fans wanted to learn more about UNI and our program.

              1. That's not the number one problem with PN.
              2. Mudra is right about the media, at least the Dsm media.
              3. TH is right, Mudra does not have him blocked, but wrong most of the time.

                Whitey's *is* great. Haven't had the supposed "Quad-Cities-style" pizza, though I've had pizza in the Quad Cities more than a few times years ago.

                  I am almost always right. If not always right.

                    It's not a matter of giving UNI equal coverage, of course they don't and shouldn't. It's a matter of constantly perpetuating the idea that there are only two state university athletic programs. Why do they give ISU equal coverage to Iowa in all things, there are twice as many Iowa fans as ISU. The reason is because they promote that rivalry continuously as if it were relevant. They pretty much have built their entire sports reporting around that concept. I heard on the sports this morning and will hear again 50 times this week the statement that all Iowans will chose a side this week. No we all won't. The headlines and lead sports stories on Sunday were all "Both state teams win".

                    It may be good business, but the media hate ever having to mention UNI for anything and do everything they can to hold UNI down.

                    The other day they gave a quick report of which Hawkeyes and Cyclones made the cut with NFL teams. Did they mention LJ or Howard? Same thing on draft day, same thing with the olympics, every story they do in any sport they bring in the Iowa and ISU angle and leave out UNI. I could give 10 examples every week without even paying attention. It's not by accident.

                      Bump for truth.

                        ISU does get a disproportionate amount of coverage. its ridiculous.

                          all of this is true. Though a new sports station in Des Moines seems to have a Panther interview every week. Drake too. So there is that.

                            Honest truth: Every time I go to Madison (like last weekend) I have to stop in Coralville to get a cooler full of Whitey's Root Beer shakes for him and his MADISON NATIVE wife. [America's Dairyland - Ha!] When my other brother & wife were back for the first time in a decade from the South for a class reunion, the first thing they had to have in the QC was a Harris pizza.

                              do people actually believe this?
