What spin?

[CIPanther]

Anyone care to wager a guess about what spin the Des Moines media (radio personalities included) will put on the outcome UNI-ISU football game?

Will we get the respect we deserve or will they tear down Iowa State?

[wonkadog]

You

will get respect but you know there's going to be some talk about the 2 turnovers that directly led to 14 points. I couldn't see the game so I'll assume the interception was a good play by UNI but Flynn fumbling at the goaline doesn't ever happen. However, I suppose you guys could say that your kicker doesn't miss field goals ever either...either way I was sorely disappointed in ISU's effort tonight and impressed with UNI's ability to run the ball.

Thankfully, I'm out of DM Sports radio range, so I don't know how they'll spin it, but honestly, Iowa State deserves to be torn down. They've not played well in any game this year.

There's nothing to spin on this one.

[CIPanther]

Hey Matt - If you've lived in central Iowa long enough, you know that our sports personalities can spin about anything. I agree, though, that there is nothing to spin. We'll see.

KCCI spin

Andy Garman asked the on-site person in Ames: Is UNI that good or is ISU still shaky? The answer(and I forget the guy's name): ISU is still shaky.

Maybe, but a lot had to do with the guys in purple. I just wish the media would stop the 'Big 2' bs and recognize excellence wherever it may be.

Here in Lincoln, they showed Macarney on TV after the game looking exhausted and he said that was the best UNI team he has ever coached against and that they played well barring two big mistakes, and still took a missed kick to win. He was very respectful of the Panthers, and looked very very very thankful to have escaped with a W.

I have no doubt that McCarney and the ISU players have respect for UNI. Just like Ferentz, Greenway and the Hawks showed UNI respect after they racked up 360+ yards last year.

Unfortunately, most the Des Moines sports media is too clueless, too lazy or just too prone to whoring themselves to Big 2 fans to paint an accurate picture about the Panthers.

[Newsbreaker]

We got at least 2 HUGE breaks that allowed us to have a chance to win it. That's what they're all going to focus on. Who cares, I can't WAIT to line up against those guys next year.

She is an idiot. She completely disrespected UNI in her column today. Imagine that.

I think she disrespected ISU more than she did UNI.

[Mudrafan]

I disagree

She says ISU losing to UNI is a disgrace. I'm not following you.

Where is she wrong? A BCS conference team should never lose at home to a I-AA. Yes, we believe we have a chance in these games, and they are big opportunities for us, but from the IA's point of view, there is no way it should happen.

I read the column, and while I can't stand Clark, she was well reasoned and pretty much spot-on today.

Her article was complete crap. She said, "In the first half, quarterback Eric Sanders was precision in motion, hitting all 11 of his pass attempts for 159 yards...."

Now if you check the stats, Eric finished with 23 completions and 158 yards. So in other words, Eric completed 12 passes for negative 1 yard in the 2nd half. Great research by a worthless journalist. Her articles are usually stupid and pointless just like this one. She thinks McCarney is gone? Who better will ISU get? He turned them from a joke to a bowl program. If Pollard fires him than his is dumber than she is. Terrible article by a terrible writer. Oh well, I guess it reinforces why I usually skip her crap.

WOW!!! There seem to be some issues here.
