It was sarcasm.
Guess I don't understand your form of sarcasm then. However, there are others on this board that support what McCabe did. If Trice is a thug because he had a grin on his face or was trash talking, the Iowa BB program better get some thicker skin, because as best I can tell these type of things have been going on for several years now.
Iowa BB just hasn't had much of a chance to join in these kind of festivities for a long time.
