CJ Spiller?

I don't get paid a million dollars to know this stuff and have basic competence. If I did I probably wouldn't. Especially on national tv. Anything else

Give you a ton of money to talk about 50 different teams, 100 percent chance you would at some point make a mistake.
 
I worked on the radio for free...and when you are trying to come up with names on the spot...you make mistakes.
 
I do have to give the OP credit though. I thought the butthurt crew had uncovered every conceivable slight possible by the national media against the Hawks before he started this thread. He indeed broke new ground.
 
We're talking about the starting qb on the #5 team in the nation.

Are you freaking kidding me. You're saying that you shouldn't know the name of the starting qb on a top 10 team. Heck any of the top 25 teams. And this is your job

Are you freaking serious.

Dude, don't be that guy on here.

Part of the reason the national media trolls Iowa like they're doing is because of the fact that a good number of our social media-using fanbase...........FREAKS THE F*** OUT when something like this happens.

And the stuff you said about the guy is extremely mild by comparison to what people would say through e-mails and online on those sports websites (ex: ESPN.com).

So Joe Talk-Show Host sees this and decides to say something outlandishly incorrect about Iowa and low and behold the f***ing phones light up and the social media firestorm rages on for a solid week................and it's exactly what they wanted to happen. And this does happen.

But by all means, we should make a big deal about these kind of things.

P.S. No I'm not saying it's not worth mentioning at all, and we can joke about it. The problem is TOO MANY of our fans really do take this much more seriously than they should, and that is actually part of why we get trolled by certain media members.

Deal with it.

Nicely stated and very accurate.
 
This is bar none the stupidest thread I have ever been on. A former NFL coach accidentally says the wrong last name and people are jumping on it. Myyyyyyyyyyyy gaaawwwwwwwwwwddddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!
 
That's what I mean. It's amazing how immature some of you act. If I thought a post was the "stupidest" post ever, I doubt if I would continually engage with it.

Geessss kristttttr
 
Yep and Mack Brown called Michigan Maryland when referring to who OSU is playing next week.
 
Oh yeah that doesn't lol. I meant "watch" not want


Brother, don't let these guys get under your skin. I've been very opposed to the "butthurt" crowd all year (see my post history), but I'm with you -- the CJ Spiller comment left me with a scrunched forehead.
