Unacceptable comments. Shit like this doesn't help recruiting and is just unnecessary and inappropriate.

The "skank" comment was present and every sane person would interrupt his "joke" it exactly as it was meant, to defame Ali. Continuing on in that thread without any personal remorse and more importantly without challenging others makes him guilty by association for all that was written. Every Jury on earth would see it this way particularly with a quick review of his posting history.
I often/easily confuse defamation with libel. I think Willie's now-deleted Tweet contained the following 5 assertions/allegations:
- Bob is the biggest donor to Iowa Wrestling.
- Bob's name is going on new facility, merely b/c of how much money he's donated.
- Bob is behind the push for Ferraris.
- Bob has trashed the Chittums.
- The screen captured posts show Bob bashing one of the recent WFS greats (i.e., Alli Ragan).
But Willie has since deleted this particular Tweet. He yet may provide some corresponding explanation, and dare I write, apology, retraction, or other form of mea culpa. We shall see.

Defamation much? Edit: Ok it's not I have no clue what I'm talking about.
Mineo needs punched in the face. What a f'n dbag.
Mineo is absolutely awful and a prime example of what's wrong with social media.
However, that slur directed at Alli is unacceptable. We just lost a recruit in part due to the character of people we were recruiting to be associated with this program. Let's not accept fans throwing that type of slur at a former Hawkeye wrestler.
People complained that there was no way racial slurs were thrown out in carver, meanwhile we have Iowa fans putting misogynistic slurs in writing online. Ridiculous.
You’re right. I’m not the one she cheated on so it’s not my place. I shouldn’t have written what I did.
Can you take it over to that thread and not ruin this one?
Not "just people", but the guy whose name is being used for your new wrestling room. smh

I'm replying to discussions above within this thread. If you want to have a thread about improving the Iowa wrestling team, we as fans can start with ourselves. I'm all for free speech and limited forum moderation, but shit like that is free ammo for negative recruiting.
It is that way now in the timeline, but the way these boards work, there's no guarantee it was visible to Bob when he decided to make his post.
Fact remains that he only replied to the prior post, didn't like the 'skank' post or the posters subsequent follow up, and Bob provided several reasonably timely explanations of his intent.
I respectfully disagree based on the above.
Bob's prior posting history would most likely be considered inadmissible as irrelevant. I've no recollection of Bob making any disparaging comments of a misogynistic nature toward female wrestlers or athletes.
I know you love your team but you have to have a solid perspective. You're willing to engage opposing fans but have a good sense of how it should be done. I can respect that you have certain standards and want to see the Hawkeyes do well by making solid improvements.
I'd say you're correct on this. Ball busting back and forth is part of online forums but really attacking kids and their families is out of bounds imo. Criticizing is different than some of what I've seen here recently.
so if you want to speculate Chittum's dad played a part in his decision, I get that. Doxxing him is out of bounds, that goes beyond reasonable speculation and ball busting.
If smalls sent a tweet out similar to Mineo's, let's just ban that fck. No I'm not kidding.
He doesn't deserve to be on this forum.
Zero class clickbait fck that is trying to drag the Hawks down.

Certain things might be a little out of bounds but I doubt it rises to legal levels.
Would the ivy’s being included the year that Iowa won have changed the outcome? Hmmm
Come on folks, this is the GOOD NEWS thread.
Iowa has a big recruit on campus currently is the news
that’s probably one of the big reasons willie is trashing iowa honestly
not defamation as receipts were posted. also on this topic mineo is not wrong. this is why HR is referred to as a cesspool, and it is a very bad look.Defamation much? Edit: Ok it's not I have no clue what I'm talking about.
Mineo needs punched in the face. What a f'n dbag.
that's correct you shouldn't have posted. way to verify a shitty post with another one. congratulations. whomever she allegedly cheated on surely doesn't need you on here posting on his behalf.
Alli addressed this topic in the Mineo Twitter thread. Her perspective seems vastly different than characterizing dating as cheating.
I'm not busy telling people what to do.
So can we start using other teams' boards and the sh** they say about Iowa and its athletes as ways to negatively recruit against them?
I mean the f*** are we talking about here?..........
Back to the OP...good news will be minimal punishment for any Hawk wrestlers involved in the gambling investigation.
Good news as far as only being punished maybe for half the season, if it gets to that point.

My comment (old ski town joke) had nothing to do with the lady in question or her husband. No problem, I get criticized all the time for BS. It's an honor to be scammed by bums like Jimmy Small D and Mineo
BTW, the follow up joke to that one is, "What do you call a ski bum without a girlfriend?.........Homeless
I think Bob needs to write as much of an apology, retraction, etc like every other person with a higher profile has had to do like many coaches and athletes have in the past when they stick their foot in their mouth. I respect all the support and investment has made in this program and hope he continues in the future, but needs to take his medicine and issue a public apology. Maybe even something from the athletic department since his name is going on the room.
I have said the wrong thing many times as well in jest but in today’s wonderful world it’s not just what you said, how you said it, or what you meant but how a comment is interpreted or perceived.
Btw, to further expound on the abusive relationship that is Penn State with the rest of college wrestling (excluding Iowa)...................
If I were to post a poll on all the national wrestling boards/sites asking, "If you had to choose ONLY one, which would you pick- Penn State NEVER wins another national championship......or Iowa becomes a full blown has-been like Oklahoma State or Minnesota" that the vast majority would vote for the latter, and it wouldn't even be close.
That's a problem.

Feel free.
The reality is, this is currently being done against Iowa. Willie, Mineo, and others are doing it and Iowa fans/posters/donors are typing unhinged shit here giving them ammo.
Iowa fanbase has been a recruiting strength for a long time. We have a diehard fanbase that shows up to cheer our wrestlers. Sure that comes with criticisms and pressures to perform for the wrestlers as well and many recruits and wrestlers would much rather have that than wrestle for a program with no one in the crowd.
That said, we don't need to be calling former hawks slurs here and and giving free ammo to negative recruiting (including other programs' coaches).

My comment above stands. No malice was intended, and no apology is necessary. BTW, I have no idea who this person even is.
Move on
Cesspool is a self proclaimed moniker.

Fair point. My criticism was primarily directed at the comment above yours using the misogynistic slur.
I appreciate your support (especially financially) of the Hawkeye wrestling program. I trust that you have better insight than I or most of us on what's going on behind the scenes with recruiting. However, with that comes additional scrutiny. I don't think we need to use PR speak, but taking the high road to some extent goes a long ways. I appreciate that that's the approach Tom and Terry typically take.
"Never wrestle with pigs (aka @smalls103). You both get dirty and the pig likes it."
I miss the days when you could call a girl a skank and then get high fives from your bros.
Damn I miss being 40!
