Hawk Fan Reactions to XF Announcement

[Cat Stevens]

Y

I wonder who Barta would hire if he fired Fran

Chris Jans. If you can’t get bret bielma, you find a dude who is just as smooth with the ladies

 

[Gonzo]

Meh.

We're a wrestling school.

I copied and pasted a post from HR. I am indeed a pharmacist who graduated from Iowa in 1998. However, I always identify myself as an ISU graduate class of 1991 with a degree in transportation and logistics.

So are you now trying to say that this is the comment of another poster and you just copied it? You're pretty unclear here.
However, if it WAS your post and your daughter, I strongly recommend you drop this line of posting. Consider your daughter's position even if she hasn't. If this story is true, there is no way that promoting it farther will end well. For either of you.

This is a post from HR by 83Hawk. I should change my screen name to PharmaCy

Google machine is interesting:

John M. Squires, 21, NE 46th Lane, was charged with assault causing bodily injury or mental illness at 11:07 p.m.

This is the least surprising thing I've read on the Internet in quite some time. Be willing to bet someone bad mouthed his precious Hawks and he flipped his lid.

Oopsies. Fits the bill.

There's gotta be some North Polk grads in here that could tell us all about him.

Matt and Monté player two years under each Hoiberg and Prohm.

Those are some tasty development arcs.

Monte was already one of the best ball handlers on the planet when he showed up, but to say a kid his size was guaranteed to be in the NBA regardless of development is a laugher.

Love how that chart shows what he arrived great at and where he developed. Thomas development in D was among the biggest leaps I've seen. Probably only Naz made as much overall growth throughout his time under FH and SP.

My daughter teaches at Oskaloosa High School. She has had him in one of her classes. Here is, verbatim, the text she sent me a few minutes ago:

“Don’t be upset about Xavier Foster’s choice. He’s an academic nightmare, arrogant, and has next to nothing for work ethic.”

Sounds like a perfect fit for ISU.

This is not “sour grapes” from her, either. She cares nothing about sports. About a year ago I jokingly asked her to tell Foster to go to Iowa or she will flunk him. Her reply was much the same as her text.

I hope all the best for the kid, but the NBA may not be the sure thing he thinks it is.

I really do not know the academic standards for either school, but judging by the outside, it seems like ISU might help him more with that than Iowa would. Seems like Iowa would hold their players more accountable than ISU. That's just my outside observation, is there any truth to my outside view? Other than what I've observed over the years in football and basketball, it seems that Iowa holds them more accountable.

Thoughts?

sour grapes

Attended both schools, undergrad at ISU, grad at UI. Your assessment is backwards. In fact I was a huge Iowa fan and thought sure I was going to Iowa for undergrad until I went to orientation at both. Iowa wanted to be my friend, ISU wanted to challenge me and prepare me for the world. It is laughable that you think athletes at Iowa (or ISU) have to do much school work unfortunately. Thanks for your obvious sour grapes.

Carver Hawkeye library!

Honest opinion...I think both fan bases trolled themselves. A lot of people hang on every word these recruits say. I take XF and his family at their word today, XF didn't decide until yesterday. They respect both programs and have a lot of good things to say about both. He says one nice thing about Iowa, everyone loses their mind and says he's going to Iowa. Same thing happened when he said nice things about ISU. My guess is he was truly undecided until yesterday and until then wanted both doors open until he firmly decided.

no way

Also, ISU undergrad Iowa postgrad. Great time at Iowa. Great bars. Great girls. ISU is special and there is a reason there isn’t a more loyal alumni base in the country. ISU IS Iowa.

I feel so bad for the Murray twins.

between the perception that already exists, and their dad being an online presence, I don’t see how it ends well

oh dear they’re finding videos of the twins games at their prep school, and showing highlights of games against worse teams than they played at prairie.

they’re using it as proof their improved abilities.

these aren’t the McCaffrey kids, they are purported to be nice young men.

Meh.

Meh.

The band's made the most headlines in years.

Looks to have quite a few citations in his past.
(And we all know he's reading this right now)

 

[Lexclone]

Meh.

We're a marching band school.

FIFY

 

[CyTwins]

Chad is not taking this well lol

 

[EvilBetty]

There was someone trying to say that Kansas and UCLA were not in fact blue blood programs and therefore XF was not truly a top tier player lol.

So iowa cant even land in state lifelong fans that are not bluebloods?

Rough

 

[GTO]

Iowa rolling out the all whites for the game tonight. Players, not uniforms.
