Here at home, they drew thousands of cheers, but outside the state, there were shouts of overrated. Coming up after the break, ill tell you why the likes of cowherd and finebaum only made things iowa proved many people wrong this year. With its best record in history. And an invite to the rose bowl. But the hawks had doubters every step of the way. And believe it or not, theyre not bugging me. I explained why during soundoff last night. For iowa fans, this has been a season to remember. For a million reasons. This has been the season that the hawkeyes not only truly showed up on the National Radar, but they actually drew a great deal of groundfire from fans and media from way outside the state. In other words, they not only showed up on the radar, they set off the air raid sirens. People, thats a really good thing and i hope you wont take it any other way. One thing thats not bugging me is Paul Finebaum of the sec network. Hes overrated for weeks, now, but his vote doesnt mean more than anyone elses. And hes human. Weeks ago, he declared iowa to be a paper tiger and even though iowa kept winning, he dug in his heels and kept declaring that another team would eventually pull back iowas curtain to expose them as frauds. Humans do that sort of thing. Plus, hes a pundit. And pundits arent paid to be fluid and openminded. Theyre paid to say this is right, and this is wrong and theyll never give up the fight, they only extend it. Colin cowherd doesnt bug me, either. This is a guy that many of us applaud on a regular basis that is, when we agree with him. Just because he happened to join the ranks of the hawkeye disbelievers doesnt suddenly mean hes our state attention. His rash claims have broadened the spotlight on iowa and thus each game theyve won since has resonated more nationally than it would have without attention from guys like cowherd. And dont forget that this is satire that hes dealing in. And remember what Jonathan Swift had to say about satire. it is the sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybodys face but their own. in other words, be able to laugh at yourself, too and thats from a man in a wig thanks to colin cowherd, we now have skippy baumgarner. thanks to Paul Finebaum, we now have a reminder that not all College Football analysts look like hunky ex quarterbacks. Some look like the bank manager who wouldnt give you a mortgage. And whether they admit it or not, they know that kirk ferentz and the hawkeyes proved them wrong a few times this season. In fact, they proved us all wrong. Im andy fales, and thats whats skywalk shutdown. Take note, des moines residents. Your route through the skywalk system may be changing. Hear how the closures are contributing to the citys changing skyline. Wake up call. A fire forced some des moines residents from their beds early this morning.
