Fuck the reporters. I don't give a shit about the reporters. I'm talking about a man who makes five million dollars per year, and then mocks a workaday man who calls him out on something that is perfectly reasonable (not to mention unethical, and possibly illegal).
Should have leaned into it and went scorched earth around the room.
Yeah, but at least I have hair you stupid ugly bald dumbfuck.
I don't even give a shit about that guy. I assume that guy will be just fine. I just can't stand someone punching down. Especially Kirk Ferentz, who sold me (and many others) on his legendarily High Moral Character for decades. I wore black and gold proudly because I never thought shit like that would ever come out of this program.
Timing of the erection of said statue is dependent on the length of time he continues down this stubborn, arrogant and most importantly stupid path being pursued. Drag the program down to the depths, said statue may be 10-15 years in the making.
“Howe, or should I say ‘How many jobs have I had’? Are you still doing a podcast with that Iowa State fan site kid, or was it Jon Miller? Oh yeah where’s he at these days, selling propane?”
I think you are taking his comments the wrong way. Pretty sure he meant at least I'm not miserable, and not at least I'm rich as fuck.
There hasn't been a single decommit other than the flaky RB from Florida.
Correct. He isn't making a $$ jab at the guy.
Do you mean Kirk being such a bitch about valid questions a reporter asked? Or people here pointing out they don’t like the little bitch Kirk has become?
The guy took a shot at Kirk, Kirk took a shot back. The horror. In 2002 he talked shit about Jim Rome and refused to go on his show, people applauded him because the team was having success.
And even if it didn’t work out, fan patience and appreciation for at least trying something else would have been a lot greater. Tripling down on Spencer was the highest risk decision possible, and he refused to see it and is paying a steep price for it in terms of damage to the program, his reputation and fan goodwill.
There wasn’t a shot taken at Kirk. He’s employed his son at the next highest profile position in the state, pays him a million dollars a year, and he’s been abjectly terrible at his job.
assuming that he is miserable because he dared ask unpleasant questions about the nepotistic failure that is our offense is almost as bad, imo. it’s just flat dumb.
Like I said, it’s to the point that it’s better for everyone if he just retires.
KF should make a crack that Eickholt’s twitter has no blue check.
Or they are better at spotting talent.
I don’t think that is what is happening
He was on the team under both Hayden and Kirk. Not that it gives him any insight now but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he has connections in the program.
It's because of the December early signing period.
That plays into it as well.
it’s not mutually exclusive
No one’s defending it. It’s the outrage that’s funny.
Yeah, nobody is truly defending it. At most I understand, but I am way more LOLing at the OUTRAGE in defense of sports writers that proved to be the most useless sacks of shit the last couple years.
Amber is the color of your energy, my friend.
Is anyone defending sports writers? As far as I can tell, we’re giving the the OSU dude credit for asking a couple of legit questions and that’s about it. Kirk got butthurt to the point of bringing it up out of the blue today. That’s about it though. I’m sure as shit not defending any Iowa sports writers.
Yes, the OUTRAGE is in defense of sports writers. No one gives two shits about those idiots.
He has given me far too much happiness the last 2+ decades for me to turn on him entirely.
Ninja editin’ son of a bitch
