  • Duplication?

    For the most part, I enjoy listening to Cyclone Fanatic podcasts. For a while now, and especially after the introduction of the Daily Clone, I am finding the content redundant. I listened to the post game review of the KU men’s game last night. I listened to the review of it on the Daily Clone. And when I saw the Williams and Blum podcast on my downloads this afternoon, I instantly deleted it. Why would I want to listen to Williams talk over Blum for 40 minutes rehashing the same news I’ve alrea... more

  • Pathetic…just like the football programs history.

    Nebraska fan here, had the misfortune of stumbling across this podcast. Just two idiots circle jerking over one of the most pathetic programs in the entire history of the sport. No boys, it’s not a good day to be a Cyclone. It should be a shameful and embarrassing one.

  • Women’s BB post game shows

    It’s awesome to hear shows focused on the women’s game. I enjoy hearing discussions of their games which sometimes gets a bit of a short shrift on the main pods.
