They get more coverage than others and I don't understand it. I've learned a lot from responses of people. To quote my wife. "I'm not always right, it just seems that way." Look forward to the banter. Thanks. They don't get any coverage on the forum. Coverage implies there are editors picking and choosing the stories to post. But there are not. Instead it is fan driven content. More Iowa content just means there are more Iowa fans. The simple solution is not to decrease Iowa content, but to increase content for other teams. I have good news here. Instead of creating another Iowa thread, as you did, you could begin a thread for another team or teams. 3 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwell Smart Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 I should've clarified, it was back when intermat allowed feedback on their web page. I was Maxwellsmart1. Sorry, it wasn't cinnaban. Enjoy your evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ban Basketball Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Couldn't imagine how discontented one must be in life to obsess over Cinnabon, let alone me.

And let's also admit that Jimmy C 2.0 is < Jimmy C The Original as far as discussion topics go. His old Lou Holtz imitation ("Gee, I have no idea how Penn State is going to beat the Little Sisters of the Poor Junior Varsity team, never mind the Hadley School for the Blind.") in his earlier incarnation was endearing. The new version is much less interesting. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that there was a Jimmy back in my day of posting twenty years ago who was a Sqwawker fan. Unless I'm dead wrong, the current Jimmy is a PSU fan, or am I wrong?

Dark Energy Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 The obvious answer is that Hawkeye content gets more views / eyeballs / key revenue related metrics. Those in the entertainment industry wisely pay attention to those things. A good question is….. Would a concerted effort to create more quality content that is not Hawkeye related would, in a reasonable amount of time, result in more views / eyeballs / better revenue related metrics? I bet sites have tried. I bet they have learned that this is hard and it is smart to go back to the Hawkeye well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamboat_charlie Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) I don't know why I just wasted 5 minutes of my life reading this thread, but let me see if I got this right: This guy has been emailing the "contact us" link on intermat's website with complaints about the amount of Iowa coverage taking place. Willie is getting tired of reading his comments so he's set him upon this board to wreak havoc here instead. Maxwell thinks that sounds like a great idea so he blasts off with a self-titled post complaining to no one in particular about anything and everything Hawkeye related. Maxwell seems to think his post here is a direct line of conversation with Jagger, who I assume talked about Iowa in one of his recent mailbags? That's just too funny. I say we keep Maxwell around. If he is a real person, he's essentially Creed from the office just firing away typing his hot takes into a word document. If he's not a real person it's a much more sophisticated troll job than what we're used to, and I would also welcome that.

This is me with my tinfoil hat on... which I don't typically wear... that said I don't even support this theory just acknowledging that it could be true: TheMat JC =/= Intermat JC The data is there to support this. He was an avid Hawkeye fan in his early days at TheMat and then went to a 'Penn State' fan... while actually just being a troll and not an actual fan. Here he has picked up on that but mellowed a significant amount on the trollinese. He was actually responding to the 'pay your debts' in some regards before and here he ignores it. This could legitimately be like the Avril Lavigne 'body double replacement' poppycock. I don't necessarily think it is. Evidence might say otherwise depending on the eyes that are scrutinizing it.
