Felters has said numerous times that money had nothing to do with Chittum leaving and that the family is great. I think I'll believe the actual Hawk insider on this one. I look forward to your five paragraph response on how Felters really knows nothing about Iowa wrestling and is wrong about this.
AJ Ferrari in the house last night
- Thread starter HawkCharlotte
- Start date
I was told by someone I trust, which if you look back through my history, I have never once said that.
Oh, and remind me, what school are you a fan of?
This. Some know whether the Ferraris affected the decision of Nagao, apparently.
you can ask me what school I am a fan of. I know tough question for you……answer is a lot longer and a lot more involved than you ever were or will be as a Hawk fan.
The ONLY reason I believe it is relevant is because I am basically only arguing with non-Hawkeye fans over the Chittum issue. Otherwise, I have no issue with any fandom whatsoever. I admittedly enjoy getting under many of the PSU fans' skins on here, but that doesn't mean I am against having them here...
so it's you were told by someone vs a former Hawk wrestler that worked hard to get Chittum to Iowa. Once again, I'll believe the actual insider. What does me rooting for the Goofers have to do with you being wrong?
Because the person I was told by is close enough to the program that I trusted his information. Again, I have never done that once posting on here. I give my opinions, but I don’t act like I am an insider. In fact, in many cases I have clearly stated I am not.
However, in this singular case I trusted the information enough to say what I said. Also, it matters when those arguing with me clearly have no ties whatsoever to negate what I said.
Finally, it is very common to use the most PC answers in public. Do you think the Chittums would just come out and say greed was the reason?
Simply put, I felt, and still do, that my source was credible enough to take my stance. If there is someone on here that is truly close enough to have the knowledge necessary to contradict my statement, I am more than willing to eat it, if they come on here and clearly state how I am wrong…

Disagree. I get in some counterpunches (Spencer support is one) without many scars. I don’t think it’s so much a compliant “party line” as there’s just less to argue about. I mean, what’s HVI’s biggest gripe? Recruiting over a kid? Even that stings less with a revolving door portal. Iowa has two clear and present issues that make GIA more volatile. Tom’s HS recruiting and his Ferrari project. Improve the former and resolve the latter and you could be as bland and boring as those of us on “the lame end of the spectrum” (still love that one).
ok, we have hearsay…someone told you what they heard was the case, as opposed to a fact: Chittum and the Ferrari family had a fairly serious altercation previously. So then we are told to believe that money was the sole issue here. that money was never discussed initially. that the Chittum dad was the issue but the Ferrari dad is not an issue. LASTLY, and this is important as well, there have been numerous statements, quantifying AJ’s actions by saying other Hawk wrestlers also acted badly. However, NONE had already done the things AJ has BEFORE they were recruited to become a member of the Iowa PROGRAM. FACTS.
Lol, if that is what you take from what I typed we have one of the biggest disconnects 2 people can have...
First off, I didn't say that Anthony had no part in it all whatsover. I even said it was 100% subtracted by 83% of the reason!
What I clearly said was that he had 1 foot out the door anyway and that is why Brands and co. went after the guys they went after and were willing to deal with Chittum leaving...There is a major difference between being the final straw and being the major reason, let alone being the ONLY reason...
I think we were discussing the validity of your source as compared to other’s sources or compared to facts. Not sure that is what you just addressed. Not even saying your stance is wrong. Just saying people post what they want to be true often as fact…..” trusted source”.
To be crystal clear, that is exactly why I clarified my stance by saying I have never cited a "trusted source" for something Iowa related before. I never have quoted sources on here and stated things as fact unless I personally know it to be so by my own experience or it was something that was actually posted on here to see by everyone.
In this case, for the very first time, I feel strong enough about the topic along with the person I trust implicitly to say what I said. Again, no one is infallible. If someone with enough direct cache to the program comes on here and says I am wrong, I will own it. I just trust what I heard and where from enough to not believe that to be the case...
I think he's picked up the fact you're an old washed up shitbag for a fan.
You're full of shit if you actually believe this garbage. Other forums moderators ban douche bag fans almost immediately. You really think Iowa fans were over there drumming up Sandusky bullshit without getting immediately banned?
I don't think religion necessarily is a condition of being self-righteous. In most definitions it is not even mentioned. So I don't know what you're actually trying to portray in your response. So, not trying to be self-righteous, I hope to God this all works out with the Ferraris.
If only that were the case but instead it's one sided due to one board being moderated.
Says one of the most narcissistic pieces of shit on this forum. You, El Dub, MAGA Man etc. are all every bit the narcissist that AJ is. It's hilarious that you're all the exact same person, but too stupid to even realize it. El druggie thought Kennedy was a 3 year starter for the Hawks, and didn't even know who KOT is. He's never been here for the wrestling talk. And every other week you're on a non wrestling related hissy fit. MAGA is just an idiot with everything he posts. Yep it adds up you 3 are the exact same type of narcissist.
when fans like you have no knowledge, and no facts you always revert to name calling. I may be old but you need to grow up.
Oh remember last time you started the name calling? Maybe you should quit posting for a few years again rip van winkle.
The fact that this site doesn't have anyone who moderates I won't argue with that. I read all the boards and saw it myself. It works both ways for sure
LOL. Have NEVER called anyone names…..you need to just stop……facts would help you a lot.
I don't worry about opposing fan bases, I worry about winning. Being the "best, most knowledgeable fan base" is something you can hang your hat on O guess. I prefer wins though.
You.... I don't like you, not even a little bit. Arrogant smartass.
Most of us can’t control wins/losses. We can control our knowledge. Nice work on doing all of ‘your’ winning.
lol, I mean I don’t subscribe to the theory that escaping legal consequences is proof an act wasn’t that bad.
That being said, I really am over the rehashing of the same AJ stuff so the second I saw a chance to make a snide remark and contribute nothing to the convo, I jumped in head first. I got bored.
I could have chosen my words better.
Simple questions
Would the discourse allowed here fly on the other board?
What happens on the other board if I say ‘Carl’?
Or mention Andrew Long? Jenkins? Slush funds? Recruiting violations?Training lab? Taylor couldn’t beat Dake?
Counter punches on supporting a PA legend? Hmmm…. Good?
Try some of the garbage that visitors here throw out and see if you still disagree.
To be clear, I was referencing the car accident and not the sexual assault case. Although, I lean towards the innocence of people when cases are dropped, I do agree that there is enough smoke around the guy that it is possible he was guilty at some level.
I am now half owner of the local lumber yard. I will be contemplating for the next hour if I want to celebrate with a six pack, twelve, or, eighteen pack. Life is good.
I'm lost. Are we still talking about AJ and his three year removal from wrestling ? Best of luck to those wishful thinking he will wrestle in Carver with an Iowa singlet then be at SeaShore Hall for his sophmore pychology class on the following Monday.
My experience in IC when I was in school was his Ferrari would be towed within an hour for parking on wrong side or meter overage.

Just curious, but have you seen the picture of Ferrari’s vehicle after the incident that doesn’t bother you so much. Don’t know how to post pictures, but this may be the link.
By the way, you don’t believe that he hasn’t made dozens of highly aggressive, reckless driving moves that didn’t result in accidents that we don’t know about?
Passing in a no passing zone probably 50% of drivers do before they're 22. Love how all the sudden when we get old we didn't do dumb shit when we were young GTFOH. You probably posted that while driving
Hey, over and over again I have said he has done incredibly stupid things. I have even gone as far as to say I think he isn't intelligent(to put it nicely). However, making dumb decisions, in many cases, doesn't make it criminal. We have very specific laws and regulations for driving. If what he did was so bad in your eyes, why wasn't he in jail or still in it? Unlike the sexual assault case there is no doubt he did what he did. It's not like he got off on a technicality or proved he wasn't the driver...
