Not really, though. They didn't leave because they couldn't hack it. Babb was one of PSU's best players and was one of the building blocks for the future. He just got tired of the losing. And Lucious wasn't booted for lack of talent.

But either way, that's no more or less of a low blow than saying OSU didn't want White. By that I mean it's perfectly fair game.

PSU made the tourney the year after Babb left and Loucious had a problem being on time and had a slight attitude problem.

But they didn't leave because they couldn't cut it on the court. Babb was a starter for PSU. Lucious could play, he just wasn't responsible off the court.

This.

Remember the Lick days. When we had to sit and watch unmotivated players get killed by teams like OSU. It's about time Iowa gets some swag on again.
Aaron White is a beast. Stop making a big deal out of nothing.
 


I've always said that no one likes to cut down their own players as much as Iowa "fans." I for one love White and his attitude and to say it is contrived or orchestrated is clearly disingenuous.
 




I would say that every fan base has the group of fans who severely overrate their players and that group of fans who hate all of their players.
 


It's called playing on the road in a hostile environment in the Big 10. No different than us booing everytime the Wisconsin guard gets the ball, can't believe I can't think of his name and too lazy to look it up.

White is the type of player you love on your team and opposing teams love to hate.

This never happens, all fans are level headed people with a passion for fair play and sportsmanship.
 


Probably the Worst fans in America are the Missouri student section, who screamed about Jeff Grayer's Mother who had Polio and was crippled, one time when Iowa State played there.....

Perhaps the nastiest incident I have personally read about in college basketball.....

It is difficult to understand the criticism of Aaron White, without whom we would not have been in the NIT last season. I was proud of the outstanding comeback at Ohio State. They were panic-stricken at times during the comeback. The team showed character, and if they had shot the normal % of free throws, they could have won the game, which nobody expected them to do. It has been quite a while since we have won at Ohio State, We were close and showed the character that Fran has instilled in the team......

I personally like the attitude of Aaron who plays hard and tough and gives it back.....

Remember we start Three freshmen and one sophomore...

We are doing a magnificent job coming back from the lick years, much sooner than anyone thought.....

:)

As usual. Bravo Jack. Bravo.
 


If you are taunting a player about a sick or dying mother you are a serious piece of shite and should be euthanized for the good of the planet. Geez people. It's a game. If you are going to go that route I think the athlete. Had the right to go up in the stands and ring your bell.

It's okay we're all friends here...;)

I was joking actually, but I think Babb was eager to leave the Talor Battle show. PSU won't be a solid program until they change that and so far they still haven't with Frazier.
