FWIW, I just talked to Keith Murphy - this Lucca/CF stuff isn't a secret. I wonder if it will be made public and how it will be spun.


FWIW Keith Murphy made some pretty bold statements/generalizations about Lucca on Soundoff last night;

If he's going to blame CF for this situation, then he needs look at what he said last night on TV, because he didn't help....

No, Keith is not blaming CF.

I missed 2 games all year, sat in the parquet and heard numerous people around me hammer OUR players. Totally out of line. Some were making total fools of themselves! Again no problem with reasonable criticism, but not this over the top stuff.:confused:
If you didn't hear that, I think that is awesome, your neighbors must be more under control! :wink:

I hate to see fist fights break out at ISU home games, but when fans get out line, say something, do something, tell them that's not how ISU rolls...okay that one is a bit dated and over used.

My point is, we should police ourselves. I know I ripped Iowa fans for booing their players. I said something to an obnoxious fan at an ISU football game once. We got nose-to-nose. He said he was going to kick my @@@. I said he probably could -- but if that made him feel better, then I'd rather he kick my @@@ instead of yelling t the players. The guy finally settled down and yelled only when ISU did something good (which, unfortunately, wasn't all that often).

Okay, I'll give myself a :chatterbox:

I just want to understand something here. Is Staiger leaving because of Cyclone Fanatic? I'm sorry, that just blows my mind, if that is what is being referred to in some of these posts.

I think if we had more lurkers provide something to the board and less lurking, the negative nannies would be outnumbered. Unfortunately, we have a group of posters that post their feelings with the tact of a snake and feeling that they know what they are actually talking about. Also, the posters that say well those athletes need thicker skin or to toughen up, probably couldn't make it a day in their shoes as they hide behind an avatar.

You should be able to post whatever your thoughts are toward players or coaches, however, lets be responsible and I think that is where many negative nannies on here fail. In my mind, these players at their youth are bigger men than you that like to put each player down in a hurtful manner. Quite frankly, some of you are embarrasing as you hide behind your avatars before you go decide if the cheeseburger needs 3 pickles or 4 and was that extra mustard or extra ketchup...order up.

would it be a shirtless hug?

Who it be a Co-ed shirtless hug??? Cause the picture of all the muscular dudes doesn't sit right...


Remember this is Iowa... The only state you can marry a f** but can't smoke a cigerette.

Sorry about the comment... People need thicker skin..:jimlad:

IMO That's dead wrong. Most of the PMs I get from the "lurkers" are those who would be considered negative by the majority, which is why they're lurking instead of posting (they don't want to get attacked for saying what they think or how they feel).

Exactly. The subjective aspect is why this is a mute point.

Actually, this whole board is "mute" which is probably a very good thing. And a moot point.
(Sorry, that's my only grammar and spelling lesson for today.)
