Live look at Todd Brommelkamp

Need to add about a thousand pounds
I lived in the same building as him about 12 years ago. He was just running VOTH then but was buddies with Lick's assistants. Super self-important dude.
In the Fall of 2001 I lived in a room at Hillcrest that I think he'd lived in the year before. I'd get stuff in the mail like Younkers ads with his name on it, and one time someone called for him. I recognized his name as the guy who wrote about the football team in the DI.

The room was infested with box elder bugs. I'm not sure I can blame that on him, though.

It's pretty clear which journalists are butthurt over Dolph. It's a really bad look for them. Unfortunately, they all seem to be stuck in an echo chamber of terrible takes on Twitter, so I'm not sure they know how much they're all showing their asses.
I am pretty fucking disappointed in Keith Murphy. I honestly thought he was better than this shit.

Is there a single documented instance of a media member NOT defending another media member?

"That guy was an internet moderator for a website 6 years ago and did some mediocre writing that couldn't land him a real job; hence, his word is gold."

Fran probably said it.

I. Don't. Care.

He said the exact same thing I said in my family room tonight. In the good ole days, a real reporter wouldn't report that shit because he wouldn't care about creating drama on Twitter.

I hope Fran actually said something much worse. I’ll like him even more.

SVP just reported it matter of factly on Sports Center. Wouldn't be surprised if the Big Ten suspends him for Saturday if the officials corroborate.

We can't have nice things.

So meh. Laws broken = 0. They really are nauseatingly self-righteous. There's a reason Ferentz keeps those fuckers at arm's length.

We are in a crisis. An announcer was suspended for saying something racially insensitive, and a coach used a naughty word.

Sports media in Iowa isn’t exactly attracting the best and brightest. Most good writers/reporters aren’t doing sports, and the ones who are good and get bigger jobs are often still dumbasses (Hassell).

Hawks are good, not great. Will probably be a 2nd round team, which will be as good as any team Fran has had
I love when people can tell what will happen in the tournament despite having no idea who anyone will be playing and crazy upsets and deep runs happening every year.
21/272 Sweet 16 teams since 2002 had either an AdjO/AdjD of 100+ prior to the tournament starting. The 21 was split pretty evenly between O/D so, historically speaking, Iowa has about a 4% chance of surviving the first weekend.

Lol at using gasser as an example of Iowa having a problem right now. ‘Guys, a fan was standing up during the game and a media memeber couldn’t see!’

gotta love the 'Fran should know better than to get mad officials since Dolph is suspended'. Seriously WTF?

Iowa fan: hey ref fuck you you worthless piece of shit.

Also Iowa fan: if Fran told that ref he’s a piece of shit then the university should move on.

Holy shit, the whole Iowa sports media was singing the complete opposite tune leading up and in the Meyer trial. Many anecdotes on how she was difficult to work with. Tweets from the trial basically saying the case was frivolous and Iowa was in the right.

Let’s get this straight.

Fran yelled this at a ref in a tunnel right after a game, a tunnel that is directly next to press row, and one single reporter from Toledo heard it and we haven’t had a single reporter besides him say they heard it too?

Got it.
From Tom. Feeling better about it not being true.

FWIW, talked to our Ohio State guy. He wasn't down there when it happened, but Kyle Rowland is a good friend of his and worked for our OSU site several years ago and he's a good guy. He trusts what Kyle reported.

I'm going to guess there's a decent chance the Big Ten gets involved if the officials verify that this is in fact what Fran said.
Oh, well if Kyle’s a friend of that guy? String Fran’s ass UP.
Easy Dolph
