Right!! Love how candid he is. Plus now this is a 2nd confirmed report from a wrestler saying Iowa fans throwing out racial slurs. CrazyWhat a great interview. Holy Candid. Introspective. F**.
Carver needs to reign in their racists.
I'm pretty sure Kyven Gadson and Robin Jackson (Kevin Jackson's wife) spoke up after the Gomez incident about this being a theme. Robin basically said "They think it's okay to say the N Word in there" Mr. Kerkvliet alluded to it but did talk a softer stance by saying he met plenty of awesome fans as well. I'm pretty sure Mark Hall has hinted at it multiple times.Right!! Love how candid he is. Plus now this is a 2nd confirmed report from a wrestler saying Iowa fans throwing out racial slurs. Crazy
Yes crazy, RBY said an Iowa fan threw out the N word to him, on his way out of the arena.Right!! Love how candid he is. Plus now this is a 2nd confirmed report from a wrestler saying Iowa fans throwing out racial slurs. Crazy
That shit is non-negotiable. You say that in my building - you are gone. Turn in your season tickets and go **** yourselfYes crazy, RBY said an Iowa fan threw out the N word to him, on his way out of the arena.
Ask Mark Hall why he was so amped up when he tossed Kemdog almost to his back and then had an adrenaline dump.......tiring in the 3rd. He won pretty handily at Big 10s. He was amped to the max before the match ....according to him...because of what was yelled at him before the match. Sadly....RBY wasn't aloneYes crazy, RBY said an Iowa fan threw out the N word to him, on his way out of the arena.
Wow .. that actually is insane then because the crowd got in his head then and it directly influenced the match. I always thought that Mark was just inspired by what Cenzo did and maybe felt he needed the pin because we were underdogs (Crazy Assad was arguably the favorite at the time) the last 3 matches.Ask Mark Hall why he was so amped up when he tossed Kemdog almost to his back and then had an adrenaline dump.......tiring in the 3rd.

That's not gonna cut it -- how exactly do they ID the perp?That shit is non-negotiable. You say that in my building - you are gone. Turn in your season tickets and go **** yourself
Go a step further — make Iowa wrestle an entire season on the road.That's not gonna cut it -- how exactly do they ID the perp?
That entire section is empty for the next match. Just like when Joe made the team clean Beaver Stadium for a few numbskulls getting into a fight. Make it painful for the innocent, so they'll police the guilty.
That ain't happening. Lip service is easy. Actions are difficult and uncomfortable.Doesn’t it have to start with the administration and coaches deciding to come down hard on this type of behavior and not just providing lip service.
On the administration, absolutely.Doesn’t it have to start with the administration and coaches deciding to come down hard on this type of behavior and not just providing lip service.
The 90% who are good fans are the ones who collectively decided the moronic behavior was within acceptable levels.If you'd empty the section as mentioned above it would suck balls for the 90% that are good fans..
But it wouldn't take long to self police..
The next match someone yelled something they would toss him over the rails.
Security is just spread too thin. They can’t watch the fans when the coaches and one of their wrestlers are a bigger concern to public safety and must be watched like a hawk at all times.On the administration, absolutely.
Lip service is probably the extent of what coaches can actually do about it. Unless they personally witness the perp (highly unlikely) and take time during a match to point him out to security.
True but Brands isn't personally escorting any malcontents out of the arena, nor are the fans. Their job is to point out the idiots to security.You have to self police and condemn a certain behavior. You can't leave it in the hands of security.
Same as with the message boards. If more called out the bad behavior the HR would be a good wrestling board..
We don't get to see the good posters and great topics because it's over shadowed by nonsense and it hides the good.
Racist fan to Terry: throw me!Wouldn't that be epic.. Terry and Tom tossing someone for security and making a show of it..
Permanently revoke season tickets for the entire sections along the entrance unless the person is turned over. Somebody knows and isn't speaking up.That's not gonna cut it -- how exactly do they ID the perp?

By chance are you a civil litigation attorney seeking clients?Permanently revoke season tickets for the entire sections along the entrance unless the person is turned over. Somebody knows and isn't speaking up.
Of course this would require the Iowa administration, BIG administration and NCAA to care. Which they obviously dont.
You're right. They wouldn't. It would be nice if one of the governing bodies would get involved and actually do something though. Besides blow smoke up everyone's asses.By chance are you a civil litigation attorney seeking clients?
No way anybody goes straight to nuclear like that.
In a time like this, there is only one man for the job - JTS.Anybody want the ban hammer on HR? There’s a thread or two you could drop the OP link into and actually exceed 110% chance of getting your wish.

I would instantly be a bigger TnT fan.Wouldn't that be epic.. Terry and Tom tossing someone for security and making a show of it..
What ever do you mean?You mean HR isn't aware of the latest racist accusations thrown their way?? I can only imagine their response will be like
Coming back would delay focusing on freestyle which I think he wants to give a shot. I am really looking forward to that, love to see him get a world medal.After watching the video, it sure doesn't seem like RBY is coming back. He had several chances to walk back his moving on and did not contradict the retirement assumptions.
The most interesting tidbit for me was RBY saying he weighed 145 when he wrestled Desanto at the NCAA tournament.
I think it is way too early for any decision regarding next season for RBY. I huge part of it will be the financial side. Will it be financially worthwhile to come back for spring only? I think the fall semester is out of the question, he admitted that some matches he did not want to wrestle. The good news is since he wants to work on freestyle, he will be in wrestling shape if he comes back for the spring.After watching the video, it sure doesn't seem like RBY is coming back. He had several chances to walk back his moving on and did not contradict the retirement assumptions.
It is wonderful to hear RBY speak so freely about his Penn State experience. He seems like a terrific young man who has his head on straight and his priorities in order. His candid comments are welcome and certainly dispel any thought that Penn State's wrestlers are a bland group lacking individuality.What a great interview. Holy Candid. Introspective. F**.
