When ISU catches up to iowa's running total in the same amount of time let me know. Then we'll talk. And we havent had any assalts, vandalism or rapes yet. so shut you're d*mn hawkeye mouth.
This is odd
- Thread starter hawkeyes23
- Start date
Another Clone fan not using the Hawkeyes troubles to make them feel better about the arrest.
I am not referring to the kid getting arrested, because I know that **** happens. What I am mainly talking about is the weak punishment he was given. If this was an Iowa player you guys would be talking about how KF was just sweeping it under the rug.
Still waiting for evidence otherwise when it comes to legal troubles. Im not defending our players in the least, in fact I hope he sorely regrets his decisions, but fact of the matter is, when it comes to legal issues, I can't begin to understand how you see that as just a "Theme".

Weak punishment? You say on one hand in a thread I believe last week that alcohol offenses "aren't a big deal", but say the punishment was weak? Iowa is notorious for having players arrested, yet, depending on the player, the punishment is different. It isn't an epidemic here yet, so I don't expect to see stricter punishments.
Well. I said it was the theme of the threads. Since Iowa's troubles was the most discussed topic in those threads, I think "theme" is an appropriate word. It's a very simple point. You may be overthinking this one.
Yes I agree I don't think they are that big of a deal, but if kf would punish someone like this everybody would be up in arms.
Because his punishments are
#1 Inconsistent
#2 Apparently not doing anything
If people are morons and continue making the same mistakes as others, the stakes need to be raised to deter said actions.
What hawkeyes23 is saying, is that if KF was in the same position as the ISU coach, and didn't suspend that player, you guys would be up in arms about Ferentz running a dirty program.
Kirk's punishments are very consistent.
Adrian Clayborn, starting defensive end - charged with assault causing injury - no punishment.
Tyler Christensen, buried on page 2 of the depth chart - charged with public intox - suspended indefinitely.
Brandon Myers, starting tight end - charged with public intox, no punishment.
Clint Huntrods, 3rd string long snapper - charge with public intox, thrown off the team.
I could go on and on, but the consistency should be obvious.
Even with his first player arrested? I don't remember this being a big topic until it became a weekly occurance in Iowa City.
But they aren't! Ferentz is kicking Rhoads *** in the arrests department! We all understand one here and one there...every other month isn't here and there however.
Did anyone actually say that Iowa Football players are the only ones who get in trouble?
Get a life.
Ding ding ding! Thread winner. Rhoads seems to have had the decision made for him, what with an athletic dept. code of conduct, or whatever it is.
In light of what has gone on in Iowa City I am surprised he was not suspended to make an example of him and set a precident for future problems. That being said this 1 incident doesn't worry me because it hasn't become a trend like it has over in Iowa City. Once we start seeing several of these in an offseason I'm sure folks here will be just as critical as they are with KF.
Gentlemen, please. Remember, when you're discussing indicators that reveal poor leadership, morals and ethics with a current fan of U of I football, you are effectively attempting to describe the color "blue" to blind men. So, do what makes you happy, but this is an exercise in futility.
And TarHeel Hawk, you have that last quote wrong. I said "sons". As in both of his sons are thugs.
