Remember all Hawk athletes work hard year around; support them...

I am mostly on this board to talk X's and O's, Bball and sports strategy, point out what I see as great plays and areas where I think the teams and individuals need to improve (without throwing players under the bus).

I want to remind people how hard the football players are working right now lifting and doing squad and individual drills. These Bball players went on overseas trip and practice all the time.

During the offseason, the lady volleyball, bball, softball and other athletes, gymnastics and swimmers are working out hard.

I have never booed a hawkeye player and I remember when I was about 12 the fans in Kinnick really booing QB Gary Snook and I had to ask my Dad what was going on.

Man, I have made plenty of turnovers, missed shots, dropped balls, struck out many times, etc etc and not even at this high of level. I know they try hard and they know when they fail.

As an example of talking about how a player needs to improve, I have mentioned several times as have others that Uhtoff needs to dribble closer in and shield the ball better because he is getting stripped. It is just an observation of what I think he needs to work on. I have also said how I think Jarrod has really good dribble stop and pop moves, good driving moves once he gets his shoulder past the defender, and a good outside shot, he is a good rebounder and will I mentioned I think he will have a much bigger years the rest of his Iowa career.

Let's stay behind the players and talk x's and o's and strategy rather than being negative.
 
Im not sure what I am more tired of, the negative posts after every loss or the posts like the OP telling people how they should be posting.

As you just said in a different thread, "It is called a discussion, you know this is a discussion site, a fan forum".

Let people discuss what they want and disagree with them in the thread the discussion is going on in. These types of threads arent going to do any good and will just turn into a giant pizzing match between the 2 sides.

I am fine with that, IPA, as long as people use good judgement and don't break the clearly stated rules for the Forum. If they break the rules, they should be warned...once.
