What The F Is Wrong With Connor McCaffery?

Geesus, have you ever encountered a more thin-skinned clan than the McCaffery's. Connor played all four years at Iowa, given an opportunity, his dad was able to make generational $$$$ from Iowa and he acts like a little petulant *****. Unreal. He obviously is keeping CC from commenting on the...

I know this isn't related to the "Fran" thread, but this is an amusing read.

Just take a shower after reading...

When “fake tough guy” “douche canoe” Connor played for suckeye…… he was quite possibly the worst human in the great state of Iowa.
I’ve always said it……The fact that he and cc are hooked up completely explains the absolute trash personalities and people they both are ! No one else in that university wanted anything to do with either one of them…!

I mean, we're kind of living in a glass house on this one. Remember how the Prohm regime acted when CW mildly insinuated that the team might be struggling? Or how about when the Tom Manning firing leaked out of CF Premium and the Campbell staff stopped talking to anyone? CW, Blum, hell - no one in the ISU mediasphere is ever very critical, and I highly doubt it's because they can't see what's happening. They can't do their job without some access to these entities, and it's pretty obvious that fully objective, scathing commentary results in a denial of said access.

IMO it's easy to call journalists weak for kowtowing to get access, but IMO this McCaffery anecdote completely validates their behavior from a

There in lies the main problem with modern local journalism and why national insiders are usually the first to break a story or put out anything with a dose objective commentary.

I’m listening to today’s Murph and Andy and Fales flat out says they sat on it because they believed WHO would get cut off from covering Iowa games.

She looks friendly

She? I thought it was a man dressed as a woman

Are you serious??

The head coach's wife stuck her middle finger out to the Hawkeye fans attending the game and these reporters didn't mention a word, that is not until long after the coach left the university. Good grief.

 

[Clone5]

There is no way CC's representation agrees with her being associated with this family.

i don't think they give 1 **** about college stuff. she's so far beyond that

All the people talking about this now and justifying themselves not calling out someone being a total asshat for years... its not a good look.

Not only did you not call it out then, when people on this board for example did call it out, you would defend it.

Always remember, some things are bigger than your fandom. If anything like this is happening in Ames, make in known now!

Miller is ripping Murph and Andy. Haha.

So then don’t cover them. WHO is based in Des Moines, not Iowa City. Once again, gutless media catering to the ‘flagship’ university.

Yeah, businesses just throw money away out of spite every day.

CW and Hassell said on 2 guys that the McCaffery's are so bitter that they are turning on any former players who still cheer for the Hawkeyes.

Also, the story Dochterman mentioned about the McCafferey's going after Dolph that ended up getting Learfield workers being called in. It sounds like they wouldn't even let Dolph and Bobby Hansen travel with the team and practrically put a restraining order on Dolph and Bobby Hansen.

If something like that happened to Eric Heft and the Godfather, I would want the coach gone immediately.

Also, Marge would heckle reporters at the press conferences and Fran would purposely refuse to answer questions unless it was related to Connor or Patrick.

Not surprising, coming from a radio host who allowed his colleague to scam people out of thousands of dollars.

 

[Pope]

That's the problem. News organizations are supposed to report the news without fear or favor, but they've sold out for the sake of profit. Fales just admitted WHO put money ahead of their mission. WHO and Fales have no credibility.

Your ability to be an ******* is directly tied to your winning percentage and Fran never got that balance right.

 

[ScottyP]

Defending Andy a bit, but he mentioned this story before on a What's Bugging Andy? segment. Also, KXNO and WHOtv access were greatly diminished after this happened. Fran used to have a regular call-in segment on Murph and Andy before the incident.

Is "she" wearing a turtleneck to hide her adams apple, or whats the deal here?
