Iowa's young players read these darn message boards

[ChosenChildren]

The Iowa basketball players read these message boards. We should stay positive and point out the good things, even in defeat.

Several Iowa kids played well tonight and it was a good win.

We need to quit whining and get behind this team, win or lose.

What team?

 

[GodGodGodBathia]

Which ones in specific read these message boards and where did you hear it from.

Plus, anyone who reads something on a message board and let's it effect them past a certain degree probably shouldn't be allowed to live in society.

 

[PJHawk]

Is that you Mrs. Lickliter? (or Gary Barta?)

 

[ChosenChildren]

They read them. Maybe not all of them, but they read them. I'm staying positive. This team will get better

 

[ChosenChildren]

GodCubedBathia, you are too negative dude

 

[DocsOffice]

It's a free country dude. Some of us aren't buying sunshine after this display tonight. Iowa basketball is at an all time low of the past 50 years.

OP, Get a life! The guilt method of censorship is pathetic and unoriginal, and as you can see, doesnt work. Winning works, especially against BigTen teams and upperechelon teams, though the victories against Strawberry Point Junior High not so impressive

 

[GodGodGodBathia]

GodCubedBathia, you are too negative dude

your right dude, i'm not neg i just dont got positive vibes, you dig man?

 

[DeputyHawk]

Sorry if i'm not too positive when they barely beat a horrible Tennesee St team at home.

So which "kid" is yours?

Why is it so hard for you guys to believe that they visit these boards? They twitter, they facebook, they go to youtube, and the come to boards like these. Why do you get defensive, and p!ssy when someone points this out?

 

[ForeverHawk]

The Usual Suspects!!!

 

[HandsyHobo]

If I were them, I would go out of my way to NOT seek out the opinions of casual sports fans.

 

[NewMexHawk]

Iowa won their sixth game to raise their record to 6-11 for the season.

 

[NewMexHawk]

If the players read these boards, maybe they shouldn't...

1. Stop worrying about the feelings and implied delicate sensibilities of young adults who are very used to being in the limelight (and who are there voluntarily, I might add), and go back to choosing children.

2. If you're so concerned about these kids & their feelings (Helen Lovejoy, is that you?), maybe you shouldn't use such harsh language in your thread title. "Darn?" Simmer down, sailor.

3. The players (might) read messageboards? Color me shocked. Hey, at least they can read.

Only when Lick and his crappy system are LONG GONE!

 

[IATrainMaster101]

Players shouldn't be slamed in these forums just as a rule. That's just poor form period. With that said the players should be able to read posts on these forums without being too deflated. Hell looking at 2/3 empty arena has to be harder than anything read on here.

 

[SteveGarvey]

If players are that fragile emotionally they don't belong on a Big 10 team. You think Lick himself isn't ripping them in practice in harsher terms than anything written here?
