If we don't have Gary Dolphin, who is going to tell us about the amazing Kinetico water softeners?

That doesn't seem fair considering:

PHILADELPHIA — John Chaney, Temple coach, was suspended for one game Monday, a day after he publicly threatened to kill Massachusetts Coach John Calipari.

It's our turn to give tremendous amounts of shit to writers who cover Iowa and other homos like Hassel. They make a stupid tweet or give us one of those "I've been hearing for weeks" give them a giant can of gfy

We're also stuck with Dolphin calling basketball games because of them. Remember that. Gary is a nice guy. I can live with him calling football. But basketball is just too much.

Thinking about it though, I think using the word "cheater" was probably a bigger problem than the swearing.

IowaFan and Media is a strange mother fucker. Iowa is 21-6 going into last night and all IowaFan and Media want is blood over the shitty PBP getting suspended, make up conspiracy theories and want to fire the AD and Head Coach.

Fuck off.

That is what all of this is about, it is the allegation of cheating. The foul language wouldn't be a huge issue.

How many games did Roy Williams get for knowing his players were in fake classes?

We have to be honest, the Dr. Zaius/Hawkeye Heaven segment is large.
Wtf. I support Dolph because he’s a good family friend and overall good guy who doesn’t deserve to get drug through the mud over this. Don’t lump me in with those pieces of shit. I’m sorry for being over the top, but this is a closer issue to me than for most.

Would Fran have been suspended if the Iowa media hadn't taken this story they heard from an Ohio St. reporter and ran with it?

Basicallly all of the good will Fran won back with idiot Iowafans is gone because in their minds Fran is responsible for Dolph’s suspension.

Hassel is a real suckhole, no doubt about it.

I can't get over how bent out of shape all these limp-dicked reporters are over the "cheater," language and saying it's a serious word. Fuck off. Had he called him a dirty cocksucker, it's OK, but CHEATER? Ohhhh nooooo!

Bunch of frumpy ass pay-per-click journalists are going to write scathing columns for the Athletic about this and how Fran's use of that word changed basketball forever.

Chaney had to be restrained by several people during that confrontation. What a world we live in.

you think a college ref has ever been called a cheater before by a coach?

Never. EVER! It's unprecedented. They're like the clergy. You can't say that! It's ruined basketball.

I understand if he called the ref a fucking cheater on the court during the game may constitute a 2 game suspension, but it's beyond fucking stupid in this scenario.

What an awful couple of weeks for Iowa basketball after a great run of fun and success.

If it were any other coach, he probably would have gotten off with a public apology.

Fran has a track record though, and he's being punished as much for past transgressions as this one.

The suspension will be worth it if we never have to see that ref again

It's better that he followed him down the tunnel to berate him and call him a cheating mother fucker where reporters can hear?

You all* have lost your got damn minds this week.


*you all meaning every last Hawk fan arguing over stupid shit like the Garys or taking the position that it's OK for a coach to question the integrity of a ref in front of media members.

No way, a coach cannot call a ref a cheater in public. That's a suspension every time, at every level.
