I am interested in the response to this post based on some of your word usage.

Life goes on. Whatever the true story is, sounds like more than one person made a bad decision.
I don’t know JBo … I’ve never spoken with him … And I’m not going to wish anything bad on him.
I know and knew plenty of “cocky” people … and most of them are/were good people…

He's a good kid who has made some decisions that he likely regrets. If that doesn't apply to someone reading this--other than the 'kid' part--that person is a massive liar.
The part that lost me was you painting a picture of JBo chucking ice from a second floor at a wedding party. My assumption was that you were framing the situation with more factual detailed information to make your point.
Are you now saying your story is just a hypothetical and there was no wedding party or celebration ruined by JBo throwing ice?
I am trying to be careful in my word usage. I have no inside sources and would like to believe that Jordan did not act in the manner that others are reporting. We may never get the true story of what happened, but I believe that all parties regret what transpired. We have all heard numerous times that nothing good happens at this time of night. This appears to be another example.
The "it's your daughter's event" that made it hypothetical. Jordan was being a douche and the evidence is starting to mount overwhelmingly. If you want to pick nits over wedding vs bridal party vs langerie party that's between you and your God. Just think if I would have been crazy enough to say it was ice water vs a mixed drink? You really would have been able to pick some pedantic shit out of that!
If I am attending, I do think that there is a big difference between a wedding, bridal and lingerie party. Though combining either of the first two with the third could be very entertaining!
Never a dull moment as a Hawkeye fan. This board was dead back in the summer many moons ago.
So some are telling me that after throwing a full drink from a balcony ( if true, I'll need proof ) the bar bouncer/manage failed to escort him out the door or call the cops on the patron who was disrupting a large ( therefore $$ paying ) party...
No longer physically attacked-now involved in a physical altercation.
Maybe instead of inventing stories, you should just be very clear and say "I hate Jordan Bohannon and I'm glad he got sucker punched and he deserved it."
Because this dancing around with these hypothetical stories and half truths are just a way to try to justify your stance on the matter.
Let me break it down for you one last time:
Things we know to be true from the video:
1. Jordan is punched while standing recording with his phone. (Maybe Sucker punched)
2. Jordan is punched after falling down. (Definitely Sucker punched)
Things that seem to be apparent from the video but can't be confirmed for sure:
1. Jordan is having words with a guy.
2. A second guy comes up behind or beside him and punches him.
Things we have heard but have no idea if true:
1. Jordan was throwing ice and/or a drink at someone.
2. Jordan was mouthing off.
3. It was some type of wedding party going on at 2 am at a downtown IC bar.
From the above, you and others have somehow come to the conclusion that Jordan wasn't sucker punched, deserved to be hit like that, and missed a free throw to get into the limelight.
I tried watching that video like 10 times and couldnt see him getting hit on the ground. Not saying he didnt, but the video is poor quality.
My regretful decision s didn't involve alcohol, throwing ice on someone, or getting KO.
That is a myth. At this time of night, the exact spot where Jordan was laying unconscious is the best place in the state to get strange puss.
He is a sucker for holding his phone in his hand after several minutes of shit talking not because he got punched.
You dont know that.
True.
I agree but he also taps him on the shoulder, says something, and then swings. Welcome to the real world that's how punches happen.
True
True.
I'm not sure it was 2 am.
Hate to burst your bubble bud but I dont have some vendetta against Jordan, I actually support him in his pursuit of student athletes able to profit off thier NIL. I have never listened to his podcast so cannot comment on that. I think he is an ass because there is enough smoke around him being an ass. The dude got punched for being an asshole, thats pretty standard stuff.
It looked like the guy who interjects himself/hits JBo tried to wrestle the phone away from JBo right before hitting him. It appeared after his attempt to snatch the phone away was unsuccessful, he punched him.
It’s a complete bitch move to go after a man two vs one, but that is exactly what the aggressor did. Then sucker punched him on top of it.
I’m not defending JBo’s actions, because I have no idea what JBo did or didn’t outside of a minute video clip of him just standing there recording the guy in front of him. That alone doesn’t deserve to be hit by a third party.
I agree with the W.U.W that this is applicable right now.
Where in the hell do you see a 2 v 1 there? I see one strike and it's the guy in gray. You can say he walks up on JBO but I see no "2v1". It is a super crappy video FWIW.
For the video being super crappy, you sure have a lot details of what transpired (even before the video).
JBo is recording is the man in front of him, in what appears to be a verbal confrontation. Gray shirt comes in and tries to take away JBo’s phone and subsequently hits him. You don’t consider that two on one when JBo has his complete attention on the other guy?

I don't think reasonable breakdowns like this of what likely transpired are allowed.
Oh I forgot. We’re only allowed to share rumors of what led up to it. We can’t use the actual video itself. Carry on with the unsubstantiated rumors and “extremely reliable sources”.
You have to see people who aren't there.
You have to see punches that weren't preceded by the puncher trying to de-douche the douche... twice.
You have to clearly see a punch when the douche is down.

I didn’t see the video.
I have no idea what the actual back story is.
Just laughing at the posters who are upset to find out that street fights aren’t chivalrous trials by combat in which all honorable, real men (i.e., non-“bitches” lol) understand and strictly abide by the unwritten rules of public fisticuffs.
There are no rules and there was never a golden time when there were. Laws and social customs may or may not apply after the fact but in the heat of the actual event, they are 100% irrelevant.
If you ever find yourself in the middle of such an altercation, and you are doing anything other than trying to de-escalate the situation or leave, you have zero room to complain if you end up injured. Zero.
It’s easy to spot the comments of people who have actually been in fights and those who haven’t. The guys talking about how dangerous these kinds of situations can be; the guys talking about how throwing a punch can change lives... those guys know what they are talking about. The guys talking about “only bitches throw sucker punches” lol.., those guys have seen movies.
I hope everyone involved is ok and lessons were learned.

I couldn’t tell squat watching that video either......
So, because you didn't make this exact mistake in your life, you can't relate whatsoever? I've done--and I'm guessing you and everyone else in here have done--things that warranted being decked. Either we were or we weren't, but mistakes nonetheless. I'm not excusing what I, you, or Jordan did, but pretty sure we'd all do things differently if given a re-do at times.
So many ‘tough guy’ fights are the ‘you wanna fight’ ‘let’s go’ and dance around.... guys I knew would say ‘if you got to that stage and you let them get to the end of ‘fight’ without swinging you deserve to get beat’.
We have officially reached the dumbest level we can with this thread. Do people not understand that other people are not 100% awesome or not 100% terrible? How difficult is that to comprehend? Two things can be true at the same time. Bohannon will forever be remembered fondly (and deservedly so) for what he did with the free throw record. It was an awesome act. No two ways around it. I don't know what his motivations were, and it doesn't even matter.
It also can be true that he was being ridiculous/dumb with this fight. Or that he's a jerk at other times. That describes most people. But everyone has retreated to their corners of either "he had it coming" or he was sucker punched. Pretty much like every topic in society today.
As you mention, we do not know the back story. Some on here are intimating that they do know the back story, which may be the case. I do not and am waiting to see if anything official is reported. I also believe that most people on this board agree that throwing punches is very dangerous and can change lives, regardless of whether or not those on this board have previously been in a fight. This is why myself and I believe a few others are concerned about the cavalier attitude that some on here have had in relation to Jordan being knocked down in saying that he probably deserved it. The reports I have seen are that he suffered a concussion and stitches. We can debate whether or not this was a serious injury as was originally reported, but he is lucky that he did not have more extensive injuries. I am disappointed that Jordan put himself in this position and that his friends did not help extricate him from the situation and that cooler heads did not prevail.
It's pretty clear that while trying to sit up, someone from the left side hits or kicks him
For what its worth, the washed up walkons covered this incident in their last pod... I wouldn't say that they were on JBO's side to say the very least. I figure being former players who are familiar with the late night occurrences on the pedmall their opinions and observations are likely more relevant than mine who is some 40 year old living 12 states away.
There are many dudes who would prefer not to get bouncers involved. If - IF - he was throwing ice and hit that type of guy, said guy may have wanted to get Jordan outside (or find him outside at close) and deal with it there between them. You get a bouncer involved, you pretty much know there’s no chance for the type of retaliation you want. Again, if you’re that type of guy.
If you happen to be in an altercation and it escalates to the level where the other person says "hit me" - then for God sake hit him! Of course that would have been in my more reckless youth and have grown and matured. But more seriously, you are very accurate with your statements.
Here's the lesson to be learned: if you're Jordan Bohannon's size and you know that a fight is coming always throw the first punch, aim for six inches behind the guy's head so when you hit him you are still accelerating your punch. Little guys Jordan's size are always going down if they get a big head shot.
Rules in bar fights? There are no rules in bar fights. You're kicking and gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. If you find yourself on the ground and someone is kicking you, on say New Year's Eve 1979, and you cant get a clean nut shot, you wrap up their legs and bite the ****er's shin until he's on the ground. If they're still pounding you grab their ears and bite their nose-that really hurts or so it seemed when the pounder jumped up and his eyes watered up.
Damn little danger in a college boy bar fight. You taste your own blood and learn that it won't kill you. Get a few cuts and maybe, if you're lucky, a couple of minor scars-chicks dig scars, they really do. No long term damage. And it's kind of fun in retrospect.
Never run away or you'll be running your whole life. You might crawl away beaten and bleeding but you know you had courage. The next fight might not be violent but pussies still run.
Here's another lesson for Jordan. Jordan needs to track that prick down, wait for him to hit pisser, and then bring one from the ground into the back of the guy's head, which will bang forward and hit the wall-great way to start a fight-they're never expecting it. Then you stomp them until you feel they've learned to never ever sucker punch and knock you out as you're walking into the Airliner in an unguarded state of mind, or where ever it was ever Jordan took the TKO.
No topic has ever made my 5 years at Iowa as nostalgic as this one, not even the sainted John Hayden Fry's death. My God college was fun!

I’m starting to think whiskey is the pu$$y that cheap shotted Bohannon. The only people saying ice was thrown were Isu Twitter turds.
