Dammit, I'm hungry.

 

[douglasbader]

I still care, but I am actually starting to not give a fuck.

 

[douglasbader]

 

[douglasbader]

Whatever happens with this, I can say for sure I don't like Chad Leistikow anymore.

He gets the blame for all of this!!

 

[douglasbader]

 

[douglasbader]

HAAAA HAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you Leistikow!!!!!!!!

 

[douglasbader]

Fuck you Kakert!!!!!!

Fuck you Farty!!!!

Fuck you Emporium!!!!

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

MAMA says he's back.

 

[Slidewilly]

Dinner time.

 

[nolookpass]

6 consecutive Mouse posts. A new record.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Iowa media are a bunch of tards

 

[Herky823]

Maybe they all tell ESPN or another large outlet, but is it at all telling that ESPN breaks this and not anyone local? Or has that been the case for the other guys too?

 

[Hawkstrat]

I like that he didn't go to a local guy.

 

[douglasbader]

Iowa media scooooooopppppeeeeeddddd by that weird looking fuck Jeff Goodman.

 

[HawkLax6]

 

[Mo T]

Per source.

 

[Debit One]

Goodbye Pemsl?

 

[Hawk4Life94]

Cook just trolled the shit out of Kakert.

 

[wondergrape]

What a bunch of fucking idiots.

HaLo>Hawkeye Press Corps

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Goodbye Pemsl?

Stop, wait, don’t, come back...

 

[roseboundhawk]

 

[LifelongHawk]

LOL Tyler arranged for Chad to be wrong one more time with his 6:00 announcement source.

Be fun if the guys decide to really fuck with the idiot brigade for all the bullshit.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

This has Frans fingerprints all over it. I like it.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Lol. Kudos to Cook for keeping those assholes in the dark

 

[Jim]

Was it Harty or Kakert that said up to 5 players leaving? Off by 4?

 

[Nobody]

I wasn't overly concerned because, c'mon, but still:

 

[LifelongHawk]

Leistikow had to harass his mom like that creepy Kakert fuck

Mrs. Cook, um I promised an announcement, please tell me something.

She was probably his source and the coaches call was (yeah TC, nobody is drafting you) at 6.

 

[CamelTones]

Lol doesn’t the Register do their show/podcast on KXNO at 5 on Wednesday’s? Iowa made them wait until it was over to announce.

 

[LifelongHawk]

LOL at the "vibing hunching sensing agent sourcing my feeling is" genetalia deciding what to write.

At least one goes with duh, of course, Iowa fan carried away again.

 

[MikeyJoe]

LOL

 

[douglasbader]

Well, now that all that shit is done with, the ball is in Fran's court.

He has no more excuses left. Cook is back, he has a veteran team, he has a top level shooting guard / small forward recruit, they have a Top 150 redshirt backup PG, he has the best shooter in the history of the program, one of the best young centers in the Big Ten, etc....

Time to win or throw him on the hot seat.

 

[Lefty]

I also love that Leistikow put out one more article today discussing what Iowa might do with Cook’s scholarship. What a tremendous dick bag!

 

[ClintWalker]

Was Cook considering not coming back? I hadn't heard a word about it.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Old Scott blocked me on twitter the other day for calling him butthurt on the Cook issue and basically only writing negative articles since nobody has any connections to the program

What a pussy

 

[HawkeyeDC]

"Great take" LOL

 

[Bob Sanders]

Was it Harty or Kakert that said up to 5 players leaving? Off by 4?

Two players left and they were the worst two players so it was a clear positive.

 

[MikeyJoe]

It’s weird but it’s almost like not a single member of Iowa’s basketball media has any actual inside sources or clue what they’re talking about.

 

[douglasbader]

Lol at this article. He really had his feelings hurt.

https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/columnists/chad-leistikow/2018/05/30/tyler-cook-delays-nba-future-high-expectations-await-iowa/656061002/

 

[douglasbader]

He borders on unprofessional. Such a petty little douchebag. Throws in sarcastic comment after sarcastic comment (the dunking thing again) while questioning his heart (willing to take a charge!!) and his leadership (he needs to demonstrate to his teammates he is all in!!).

I hope Fran makes it as hard as possible for Leistikow to do his job the next year or so.

Even though Cook has worked out with his Iowa teammates while wrapping up his spring semester, he still needs to demonstrate to them — from senior Nicholas Baer to junior Jordan bohannon to sophomore Luka Garza to freshman Joe Wieskamp — that he is all-in with the Hawkeyes as a junior.

Sure, it’s obvious the end goal is to play in the NBA.

And as was shown with the many NBA invites he received, there's intrigue out there surrounding Cook's pro potential. (By comparison, Isaiah Moss had no known workouts before returning to Iowa.)

But for the Hawkeyes to be very good in 2018-19 — and get back on track for their first NCAA Tournament in three years — it’ll be up to Cook to show he can be a player who is as willing to take a charge as throw down one of his signature, thunderous dunks.

 

[LifelongHawk]

"Great take" LOL

What a fucking ass.

Prewrote that piece of shit. "mild upset" (to the idiot brigade) followed by was a tough choice followed by ominous post game interview (vultures!) followed by silence what else could we think.
Then crowning idiocy, he still has to prove to his teammates he's willing to run through a wall.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I haven’t seen if Randy Pete wrote anything on wiggington, yet, but I asssume BIG12 Title will be in there somewhere.

Cook comes back and he has to prove he’s all in and take a charge.

Quite the contrasting styles. Both gayer than brantshawks.

 

[maxinquaye]

Chad may have been butt hurt but he wasnt wrong. Cook can and needs to do alot more as a leader and it starts on defense.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I like how Cook told ESPN rather than any local media guy

Fucking losers

 

[Bob Sanders]

Chad may have been butt hurt but he wasnt wrong. Cook can and needs to do alot more as a leader and it starts on defense.

He was very wrong about the most important thing.

Fuck Lestikow.

19 wins and a stressful Selection Sunday coming right up..........

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

HAAAA HAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you Leistikow!!!!!!!!

Fuck you Kakert!!!!!!

Fuck you Farty!!!!

Fuck you Emporium!!!!

LOL at a national media guy having the scoop before any of Iowa's ten basketball beat writers.

Is it tho? He said more likely than not. Seems to me its more important that Cook comes back and works his ass off because i’m sick of shitty iowa bball.

He, and the other Iowa reporters, were completely off the rails. Not one of them had any idea what would happen and they all based their made up predictions off of what each other were saying.
