I didn't realize that anything I said was a sob story but ok I am so sorry to offend you with my opinion/whining and sob story. But most of the things you said was opinion related as was my post, simply all opinions. My conversation with FreedComanche was merely to discuss my opinion of how/way I choose my words carefully. If you want people to take you seriously you do not need to result to name calling or overacting/freaking out or just comes off in a manner in which no one will take you seriously. I am a firm believer that if you are loud and obnixous then that person's opinion/rant is most likely not going to be taken seriously, that is all.
I agree with FreedComanche in that this program is not going in the right direction. I agree that ticket and merchandise sales along with donations will need to take a serious hit before anything will happen. I just feel differenly in how I state my opinion or choose to post.
But please don't give me the bleeding heart story for ARob. The concussions weren't his fault (they are on Ferentz for putting him in bad situations, I agree with you) I will definitely give you that but the way ARob choose to handle it from then on out is on ARob. The true character of a man is shown in how he handles adversity. ARob chose to smoke up, Ferentz didn't put the joints/bong/pipe in his hands.
You don't know how Weinke or Rudock feel, do you know them perosnally? Have you asked them, I don't think so. I agree maybe they do feel angry, mad or disappointed. But maybe they don't, either one of us know.
I just meant by the the clean program has he isn't invovled in recruiting scandals/cover-ups of child rape, etc... Rhabdo was bad, Ferentz didn't handle it right I agree with you.
Bob was a head hunter, maybe, maybe not. It is a matter of opinion, plus rules have changed. But what it seems you are insinuating is that Ferentz encouraged it.
I agree, there are alot of arrests, OWI, public intoxications of minors and such on the team but it seems like you are more upset that the team is losing and you don't like Ferentz as a coach so you attack the issues of the past and things you don't like because they aren't winning. When Iowa won the Orange bowl did you get on here and post stuff about Bob being a headhunter and all the arrests and did you have a bleeding heart for poor old Weinke who is getting a free college education by being a backup QB and a situational punter? I didn't think so.
Again, you have your opinions and I have mine but I agree with everyone who thinks the program needs a change and Ferentz needs to go, just don't see how freaking out on a public forum where no one but Jon and a few admins use their real names will solve any real issues.
