Who said that?

Your mom did.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

How would you know

How would you know

Closed captioning was turned on.

And that wasn't the only thing turned on.

Motion smoothing?

The worst

Watching a clip of practice in July and then deciding the team is gonna suck is peak Halo.

It was stinky and then Wade. Not exactly representative of Halo’s thought leaders.

 

[shoot-the-three]

You’d be a faggot retard if you weren’t somewhat concerned about our ability to recruit.

Because Fran was a shitty recruiter Iowa obviously has a recruiting culture problem.

 

[The Dad]

Yeah, started with Fran. Wasn’t a problem for Davis, Alford, The Criminal, etc.

 

[Fletch]

This is retarded

 

[The Dad]

This is retarded

Yes, there was certainly no belief that Tom Davis struggled to recruit.

Either you’re under 40 or you’re a complete fucking retard.

When you compare it to Raveling, you have a point. But if that’s your baseline, you’re a retard.

The biggest problem with Iowa Fan/HawkPudds….this fucking loser mentality.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Fran certainly was an abject point guard ratard

I liked the Compton kid

If @hawkpudd44 is wrong, I don’t want to be right!!!!!

Yes, the elite eight isn't good enough! Fucking losers.

 

[Lil Scamp]

I don't have a horse in this race but the ONLY complaint about Davis was that he couldn't recruit

Everybody loved that guy

I don’t know, he landed a few McDonalds all Americans. How many top 50/100 players did he land? More than you think.

 

[Lil Scamp]

You clearly were not closely following the team back then

 

[The Dad]

He landed way more Pudds than studs, amigo.

Way to follow the thread of conversation, which was recruiting results.

Correct. Practice your reading comprehension then maybe give it another whirl.

 

[6deuce]

Yeah, started with Fran. Wasn’t a problem for Davis, Alford, The Criminal, etc.

It really wasn’t for Alford at all. Get your facts straight, faggot

 

[KitKatApples]

THE HUMAN CLIT IS BACK!

 

[Fletch]

In his defense, faggots have difficulty with straight.

 

[BngHawk]

Jesus I hope you guys stretched this morning

I'll type slowly for you, you brought up loser mentality and recruiting "culture" directly impacts winning and losing. Like elite eight appearances.

 

[The Dad]

Yeah, he fucking tore it up! Let’s look at the numbers. Rivals only has players from 2002, so we have to start there.

Big10 class rank by year:
2002 - 11th
2003 - 10th
2004 - 1st (lofl, just wait)
2005 - 7th
2006 - 9th
2007 - 10th

That class ranked 1st….what a fucking bumper crop it was!

 

[The Dad]

@6deuce is a fucking PUDD RETARD!

Don’t you guys ever get tired of being stupid?

Every other poster on the board is stupid except for you and LWade. At least you're in good company.

 

[The Dad]

No, Wade is stupid too.

 

[KitKatApples]

Fucking @The Dad PWNING fools right now

You’re the one trying to make the argument that making the elite 8 last year somehow disproves my point that we’ve had poor recruiting over the past 30+ years. Not even worth engaging, unlike my man ThinDeuce.

 

[KitKatApples]

I nicknamed my dong the elite eight

 

[Jim Tebow]

Alford was a pretty shit recruiter. His first two years were solid with Luke Recker, Reggie Evans, Pierre Pierce, Rob Griffin, and Marcellus Sommerville who never played for Iowa but was good in the MAC or whatever. Then stumbled into Hotner and Bru. Pretty shit after those guys though. Remember nick dewitz.

 

[Fletch]

I nicknamed your mom the final whore!

BAM!!!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

@KitKatApples hounded wants to know, is your sister the sweet sixteen?

Agreed. Even the class with Bruner and Horner was 11th in the douche and 66th nationally.

Fuck, that is the worst burn of @The Dad I have seem yet

 

[Fletch]

What class was Tyler Smith in?

 

[The Dad]

He’s right. I only had one post about the clip where I made a make-it-take-it joke. I didn’t get much from the clip to be honest. Someone pointed out that Sage should be embarrassed about The Pear picking his pocket. I disagree. Pear lacks foot speed and explosiveness, but hands will never be his problem.

 

[The Dad]

What class was Tyler Smith in?

Not very many, from the sounds of it. LAWLZ!!!

2006. Ranked 9th in the douche.

Alford was better than average for Iowa. He had a couple of the better transfers of our lifetimes which didn't hurt.

It's crazy how wrong all the sites were about JR Angle. He was terrible. I saw him at an Iowa game ~2010 with a fat girl. Young man must have lacked confidence
