Or reprimanded I don't ******* know.
He's been fined and suspended by the big ten before.
That would be good, but it is doubtful Minnesota wants ISU playing them in Minneapolis. They really don't want to give ISU another recruiting tool in that area.
He wouldn't get fined or reprimanded for saying that. Don't be silly
You should have heard the things that came out of Johnny's mouth. Different times, but he still made 70 year old men sitting across from him blush.
If he was that vulgar, that often, and loud enough for someone in the 4th row to hear him? Sure he would.
By who? The bigten is only going to fine a coach for conference games. The NCAA doesn't care. Only way this gets punished is if this became a media deal and then maybe Barta does something, but still doubtful.
You're off on this one. He got tossed for saying it but would never get a fine or reprimanded for something like that. There are a lot of things said on the bench during games
I know Johnny could curse like the old Navy sailor that he was, but was anything he said really as absolutely mean-spirited as the stuff Fran says?
Maybe that is the nostalgia of time and cardinal and gold glasses, but I've always interpreted Johnny's saltiness as colorful and somewhat comic.
"Gawdamnit, Lafester!" is a little different than calling somebody those other things.
Former players of Johnny's, including Fred, always spoke highly of him and seemed to crack a smile when you brought up the language. Maybe that is time again, but I have never heard of an ex-Iowa player seeming to miss him much.
Our guys seem to miss Fred and Prohm quite a bit.
Johnny really got on Elmer Robinson. Can only imagine what he said to him in the locker room.
Dana Altman is another guy that says things that would make a sailor blush.
Also, refs aren't exactly saints talking back to coaches at times either. It's just how it works, you just can't cross the line into overly personal. As soon as you put the word 'You' in front of what you're saying is when coaches get rung.

I think Johnny saw Elmer as the key to those teams. Others on the team played better or worse but generally played up to their abilities. If he could just get Elmer to consistently play to his athletic ability and talents he thought they could take the next step. Unfortunately Elmer was very inconsistent.
I've enjoyed this event and am sad to see it go. As a basketball fan, it is an opportunity to see all of Iowa's D1 schools in person. As an ISU fan, it is my chance to watch ISU live without being in the rafters of Hilton.
BTW to the last point, it still appears to be some lower level tickets left on the ends.

I'll be there on Saturday. Always enjoyed this event - ISU basketball game in DSM combined with a day/night out downtown.
I won't miss this event. I would prefer to play all teams and I don't care if its home or away.
Why in the hell do we want to play the Purple Haks er Pukes???
I would much rather play Drake home and home than those junior ChokeEyes and their Choke first Purple Puke 2nd fans anyway......
Glad it's over. Sharing a venue with Iowa fans makes me want to vomit.
