Iowa thread for 2024-25

[dicemen99]

It's sorta cute that a fan of a team that looked past everything that PD3, AJ, and Anthony (and you for that matter) posted on the internet is somehow finding Carter's stuff objectionable.

It's even better that he got b*tch-slapped by @El-Jefe when he did. He's the gift that keeps on giving - always trying out his snark, only to get dunked on over, and over, and over, and over.

Turk's kinda like Iowa is now. He can beat up on the little guys, but when it comes to PSU (this board) his winning percentage is like 10%. And even worse in Prime Time.

^^^this sums it up perfectly. A truly pathetic individual^^^^^^^

That may be, but the Iowa board is finding no difficulty in being offended by Carter's posting when they themselves have accepted far, FAR worse from true scumbags. As moderator, Turk has been silent all morning about it, and in fact went back home and got his pitchfork.

Wait Turk is a moderator on HR now? 😂

With great power comes great responsibility, I think he should take that job seriously and spend his time there going forward rather than here, we're in good hands here.

He and Chief were named mods. I can see Chief but ...

Turk has banned all 36 of Johnstown's personas. I'm sure another 72 replaced them.

 

[WildTurk]

Documented I don't like Turk but I'll still defend him here, he did not at any point (even when charges were dismissed) support bringing in AJ and Anthony and he took a lot of s*** on HR for it.

Thank you.

Chief and I have only banned 2 people permanently btw. The rest are already able post again. Think about that for a minute.. We mostly are just cleaning up the political and religious talk. It's actually going pretty good I'd say.

Yeah...it's good. JTS isn't there making you cry like a baby and calling out how stupid you all are. I will be soon enough though and you can ban me again ya p**sy...

I agree with you Turk. It is much better over there now. I have even unblocked some of the people who posted so much political BS. I can talk wrestling with them, but politics and religion - no way. Thanks and thanks to Chief also.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

FWIW, the post is still up in all its glory on Instagram AND Cael (his actual account, AFAIK) "liked" it.

GIApet and Lisa Morales wished they could troll like Cael.

Why dontcha stay over on your own board and continue with the clean-up?? Seriously, we're all able to manage without you.

 

[McScoreley]

Likely the end of an era, what a run

 

[johnstownsteel]

Fitting trade off for the two boards.

I will do what I can to stay off of theirs now....

Or will I?

How about me Turk? Am I one of the two?

Nope. They banned four usernames and three people lol.

Went way too far for my taste.

Oneupmanship is typically not a good thing, especially on social media.

I'll of course still cheer and root for him.

I’m reminded of the line in American Reunion when they left to go get Stifler. He may be a ____, but he’s our ____.

Turk is dumb as shit no matter what his stance on any subject he's just sled dog dumb and no offense to sled dogs

Yep turk has no spine and half a brain

 

[LOTOlion]

Not everybody has you to delete their posts for them.

It’s weird how often GIA mods are commenting here recently.

Lol, where you getting that info?? That list is way too short and incomplete. I was banned there as well.

Turk is clearly a liar. Don't be fooled by him.

@IAChief32 - take a look at my post history and see if you think my ban is warranted. FYI, Turk deleted my last post, which was a direct response to a question he asked me.

So my ban is for 2 years then? And for what reason?

They said they would post bans in the mod thread, and those are what I found. Are you insinuating that Iowa fans would lie?

Iowa has never had a 4timer have they?

JTS already has 2? Could he be the first 4timer?

You banned me for making a joke about security at the new wrestling facility. A joke. Really?

It's his lady love. What's not to love?

Not sure if this is the best thread for it, but Spencer was on FRL today. I don’t know what it is about him, but he just comes off is so unlikable all the time. Very one track mind, obviously hard on himself, but seems unappreciative and not very GRATEFUL. Said he didn’t really enjoy the standing ovation he got in Kinnick because it was only for Silver.

Also, of note, when asked if he saw himself coaching in the future, he seemed to indicate that that is not necessarily something he’s too interested in.

He’s a tough interview - really doesn’t volunteer much interesting info.

 

[PAHURDLER]

Definitely. I just generally got a really disinterested vibe from him.

 

[nerfstate]

I mean, Cael is also a tough interview, lol. I wish someone could help Spencer out--he has a lot to be grateful for.

 

[Pennstate1985]

I wonder if he is nearing burnout for wrestling. All that weight on his shoulders all these years.

 

[Creek Side]

0-2 Troy up on Iowa at the half 14-10. Rumor has it that they are going around the stadium proactively collecting all eye glasses.

I agree he can come off a bit aloof at times, but I don't think ungrateful is the right descriptor. I've never heard him denigrate anyone but himself, and he regularly speaks highly of his opponents and teammates. On the standing O, he made a self-deprecating comment that maybe people shouldn't stand for a runner-up finish, but then he went on to say it was humbling and "I love that the Hawkeye fan base still believes in me and loves me and whatnot. . . It was pretty awesome, and I appreciate that Iowa brings me back for things like that. It's an honor."

He is definitely very hard on himself, too hard if you ask me. But I've met him multiple times and seen him in practice and competition a lot. He is probably still a bit uncomfortable speaking publicly, but he is as friendly as can be to fans, and he is typically working hard to help his teammates improve, joking around with them, etc.

Obviously our biases lie at opposite ends of the spectrum, but I truly think you'd like the guy if you met him. Really hope he decides to coach when his competitive career is done.
