Yeah. That shot would've been short from the ft line
It's been deleted, but he said something along these lines:
The fact that I got $hit from Iowa fans is insane...you suck...go suck a fat one all of you.
Yikes. It's too bad that Iowa fans are ripping the guy, but it's never a good idea to vent on twitter like that.

This whole ordeal is embarrassing for all of us.......
I only regret that he took it down - a pretty healthy % of the Hawkeye fan base needs to hear it loud & clear, unfortunately.
Maybe we as people have forgotten the golden rule? "Do unto others....." This is a sport and as in life, there's going to be disappointments. How you react and deal with them are key factors to growing.
I've said this in other threads and I'll say it again.... If you're a fan of the Hawkeyes, be a fan with class. If you can not be a person that encourages, than you're a discourager. How about I come heckle you like those who have dogged McCabe, Woody, Oglesby or any other player that's had bad days? I grow tired of people on this board who tear down... I just as soon see you become a Clones fan. Since I care not what most people think, I'll say it " Those who cut on our players can SUCK THE FAT ONE!" Have a great weekend cuz brighter days are ahead Hawk fans!
A couple things:
*Social Media is not the evil, it is the people that are evil. People do and say mean things, always have, always will....social media is just the current avenue.
*This is an unfortunate situation from both ends. People tweeting at McCabe and him responding back. Everyone involved needs to be better.
*I unfollowed, and lost a lot of respect for McCabe during the 2012 football season. He was critical of JVB's quarterback play, and tweeted something along the lines of..."let me play quarterback" during the Penn State game. He took it down fairly quickly, but for an athlete to publicly criticize another like that took some luster off him in my eyes. Now he is learning what its like to be on the other side.
It is evil because it allows people to have accesses they didn't have 20 years ago; we all know people are evil, but the nuances of Social Media allows them to act out. If players cannot handle it, they shouldn't have accounts.
Secondly, it doesn't surprise me that McCabe would post something in that sense about JVB. I have my reasons to believe it, but will leave it at that.
Juicy! A few hints in this thread about McCabe being a tool.....
