[Mysterio]

Can the transfer portal gape wide enough?

 

[Shawneemicks]

Transfer canyon

Can the transfer portal gape wide enough?

That is a HUGE loss.

Can the transfer portal gape wide enough?

That is a huge addition to the transfer portal.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Not sure if anyone else said this, but this is a HUGE loss for ISU.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

ISU's roster has really slimmed down. Really trimming the fat.

 

[Hawk24]

I think at this point they only have 2 players who won't be entering the portal. Something's going on there...clashes with the coaching staff? Pissed at Pollard's handling of the gymnastics situation? Not enough NIL money? Some combo of all this?

 

[newsbreaker]

ISU's roster is getting pretty light.

Fennelly’s a hot head and not a great coach? Plus NIL

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

He also hates lesbians with a passion, which is often a problem with collegiate athletes. Family atmosphere in that locker room, ya know.

 

[newsbreaker]

Everything I've heard is that he's a drunken asshole, his wife is a shithead, and everyone deals with him because he's kind of won.

But the bottom is starting to fall out in Ames, collectively, which is great.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He's their Fran, to a t

Between the exodus of the football team, WBB and the shuttering of the women’s gymnastics program, it’s time for the NCAA to step and acknowledge the loss of institutional control. They need to be banned and pollard publicly flogged.

it’s the only way.

 

[newsbreaker]

They have on-site CT to sell to recruits, though, so I'm sure they'll restock.

I don't know a single person who doesn't like his wife. She stays in the background 99% of the time and has always been great when I've been around her.

 

[newsbreaker]

What I've heard. Could be wrong. This conversation has already far exceeded my interest in however she behaves.

 

[gable_guy]

 

[Hawk24]

Baghdad Jamie says everything is ok.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

I can't get myself to watch that for 6+ minutes, but I can about imagine how it goes.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

I can't get myself to watch that for 6+ minutes, but I can about imagine how it goes.

The juxtaposition betwixt Pollard and Beth is just so stark.

 

[neshawk]

Is she going to a culinary arts school?

 

[jandj]

Is she going to a culinary arts school?

Never trust a skinny chef.

 

[Hawk24]

Great success...yes, lots of turnover in FB and WBB...but it's ok because it happens other places too....thinly veiled shot at Iowa...everything is fine....don't know who we'll have on the FB and WBB teams, but we'll field teams.

Basically says there's nothing to worry about without actually discussing any of the actual issues that ISU is facing and WHY this is happening to them to such an extreme degree.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

 

[Hawk24]

Someone needs to step-up and tell him to stop doing this amateurish looking shit that he writes himself.


Or not....it's kind of entertaining from a train-wreck-watching perspective.

 

[Creed]

Otzelbuttfucker has a chance to do the funniest thing.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

 

[Hawk24]

Can you imaging being an ISU recruit and seeing that clip? How would anyone want be in a program run by that small, petty, bitter, and amateurish clown?

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

 

[douglasbader]

They are in huge huge trouble and I think Otz is going to be out no matter if it is this year or next year. Making this video was idiotic by Jamie, for the Streisand effect alone.

Kirk Ferentz should be whipped with a hammer for losing to these dorks so much.

 

[The Dad]

ISU's roster is getting pretty light.

Lost a tremendous player.

Otz is signing a huge extension in the next few days. Might want to hedge your bets there.

(But yes, Jamie is a ratfaced idiot. Show me a ISU fan that likes him, and I'll show you an ISU fan that's not paying attention. Or sadly is a big donor)

 

[BngHawk]

Congrats on having your own Gary Barta

 

[newsbreaker]

I hope that goofy fuck doesn't retire before he has to give the inevitable bad news to ISU fans.

They're tens of millions in the hole. If they're giving Otz a raise, they're as dumb as he looks.

Yea even if a donor is footing that bill, it solves nothing

lol what? All the clones I know, which is way too many, worship the fucker.

 

[The Dad]

Extensions completely remove the risk of a coach leaving. History has proven this time and time again.

I assume one is, but he should be BEGGING to redirect that money to keeping the lights on.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Guessing 95 percent of Iowa State fans love Jamie

 

[Stu Beagle]

Guessing 95 percent of Iowa State fans love Jamie

They honestly believe he is the best AD in the entire country

I nearly asked why Beth wasn't included in this, since that guy has folks thinking the AD is supposed to be in everything:

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This is probably unfair, but I always got a major creep/groomer vibe when one of his former players married his son

Garta was just feckless. Pollard's attention-desperate incompetent goober shit is way more malignant.
