Capello comitted on 2/1/2009. He was a late Herman recruit presumably so that TH could have a spread QB in that class. Jared Barnett committed 5/10/2009 for the 2010 class which was not a good sign for JC.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally didnt see any issues with Mr Capello posting on the board. I didnt think that he went out of his way to say that his son wasnt getting the opportunity that he deserved or that he berated the coaches or the team in any way. From what I can tell he might have been a bit biased in favor of his son but not in any terms was he unrealistic. There were a lot of other posters who agreed that JC was challenging for playing time. Heck even Austen said that he was in the mix so I guess I dont see anything wrong with his dad saying the same thing.
Overall I enjoyed the insight that he provided and other than saying that JC was going to "stay and work his *** off" everything was for the most part truthful. I would guess that at the time of the post stating that JC was going to stay that was his intentions.
I can personally think of quite a few other posters who were much worse when it came to blindly supporting family members or someone else that they had a personal relationship with, specifically on the McD coaching issue etc.
Either way best of luck to JC and his family and I for one appreciate his time and effort while he was a cyclone and wish him nothing but the best from here on out.
I think it's more your problem with a family member being on here that it was his words. As soon as some see that it's a family member they get the idea that the family member is in the wrong.
James and the Capello family are classy people who love and enjoy Iowa State. I will always be a fan of James and the family where ever he goes. Good luck with the Criminal Justice degree and career, James. Maybe you can come back to ISU after your eligibility is used up and get your Masters Degree?
Once a Cyclone always a Cyclone, so no matter where you go, you will have a huge Cyclone family backing you! Good Luck and take it to the house, James!!:yes:
Or the fact, that having a family member posting has hardly ever turned out a good thing in the past. And it reminds posters of those dads who take there kids athletics far too seriously.
Yeah because non-family members dont ever take their teams athletics too seriously? Give me a break.
I think as a general statement having a family member posting COULD be a bad thing. It just seems that in this instance it wasnt.
Interesting. You see when I heard Rhoads say that Capello and Barnett had great practices elading up to the Spring game and then had good spring games that put them in the running, I just took him for his word. Silly me.
It was interesting listen to CPR talk about Capello. He continually said the saem thing. James doesn't do anything flashy but he moves the ball and he scores points. He did it against Utah and he does it in practice." Sorry but that is more than you can say for any QB on our tem at this time.
Or are people blinded by there connection to the program instead of the typical posters that make them seem like good posters? Honest question to think about.
CyDude16 FTW in this thread.
Everyone has their opinion and obviously that's fine.
To me any parent that comes on a message board is asking for trouble. Even if they have zero intention to say one word about their son. (Obviously wasn't the case here) If they start seeing posts saying something at all negative, they're more than likely going to get on the defensive.
Posts from them will start to be passively aggressive. Bragging up their son, saying he wasn't given a fair chance, etc...

Oh wow, he scored a td against Utah's back-ups, considered me thoroughly impressed. He didn't even have a collegiate throw. Just cause someone does something in practice doesn't mean they can do it in games. Wasn't that the mantra of the anti-AA crowd last year because he would do well in practice, but some games would falter?
Still trying to see where he rubbed people the wrong way. He never said a bad word about others, the staff, fans, players, never...The closest thing he said was"this is the first time he was disappointed in cyclone fans." Following the spring game because even though his son moved the offense as effectively as the others, fans automatically put him behind.
People that are upset about anything Capello said, are just looking for something to be upset about.
Never got that vibe form his posts. Never. I am perplexed at how people got that vibe.
