Excellent Cash reference.
Excellent Cash reference.
Gotta love a message board where <checks notes> relishingwinning18 is comfortable calling a former D1 athlete, capable of 1 shoting another D1 athlete, a pussy because a formal letter wasn't sent prior to engagement. Cool your tits bud, I'm not 29 and you dont have to defend Jordan's honor.
The truth is that both can be true. He could have had it coming and still have been sucker punched.
I am always intrigued by these discussions. I had one fight in my life, freshman in high school, and I am not sure either of us landed a punch. Never backed down, just avoided things getting to that point. But I have a couple of friends who — in their younger days — always managed to get into situations where blows were exchanged. And I have known people who thought part of getting drunk was getting unto a fight. They were not friends.
My sources say the sucker puncher was an ex Iowa State football player who went to HS in Iowa City...
Maybe, but he's not 6'1' 175lbs either........Somebody needs to knock that douche Niang out!!
Hmm what do you think CJ's thinking in that photo? What's the score of the Kentucky game???
I’m guessing Bohannon probably was being an asshole, but that isn’t worthy of being sucker punched.
On a sidenote, when I was at Iowa I lived with an offensive lineman, so I was with a lot of the O line guys at bars back then. The amount of random drunk dudes that would randomly start talking shit to them for no reason was mind blowing. There’s a lot of assholes in Iowa City. Bohannon may have been one, but there’s also a very real chance the guy he was filming was being one too.

There are always the drunk morons that think they're taking down the 6'6" 300 pound football player. Like Mark Gastineau's bar fights. Who's the dullard that think they are going to take down Mark Gastineau.
Those are the people in the "cannot listen so they must feel" category.

Not Danny..... Random. You looking for a pen pal or just feeling exceptionally insecure "jordan"?
*I'm wondering if you think I'm "danny14" in the lounge and that is not me. Though if you are currently reading that thread you know JBO and Fran are both likely to end up with egg on thier face.

Anybody have a working link to the video, the vimeo one is down. So far it seems like a lot of speculation has been thrown around on this but very little facts:
Facts:
Jordan Bohannon was punched in the face and knocked out.
He was talking and recording someone when a bystander intervened and punched him.
He was injured and had to receive medical attention.
Police are investigating.
Rumors:
Jordan Bohannon was drunk, throwing ice and drinks from the second floor of the building at the people below.
It was a large wedding party he was throwing/messing around with.
He was recording a confrontation with a former Oregon player.
He was punched by a 29 year old, former Iowa State Football player.
Nick Kron and Jared Ebert are the rumored parties.
Speculations:
Edited: Removed innocent parties names.
Oregon, the team who just handed his ass to him, ISU the hated rival school. Could definitely see how a confrontation could spark easily between them and then get out of control. Wouldn't take much either, wearing ISU or Oregon memorabilia, Jordan being recognized, etc. That would be all it would take.

There is one big way around it.
Jordan completely hijacked the history of this record for himself.
It’s not too hard to find out the rumored players involved. And neither of the 2 you listed have been mentioned
Hopefully it’s allowed to be shared here. Unsure why the other video was removed, but it’s on YouTube if this needs deleted.
The Vimeo video ran a little longer than this one, starting before this YT one.

Looks like JBo still hasn’t learned how to play defense.
And for the record the rumors in post above (532) seem to be pretty accurate. He was being a complete child to people in a wedding party that he was not a part nor involved with, but was throwing ice at them to be “funny”. He was asked to stop on numerous occasions.

Bingo. I always felt that way. It was a ”me” move. Nobody would of cared about that record if he broke it. Playing it the way he did amplified the attention.
You must always look for the best in people🤣. This thought had never crossed my mind until it was brought up on this board by Tim Dodge.
I get your point, BUT if he broke it would certainly have been discussed especially by Iowa fans considering #40's status in Hawkeye lore. It really puts in to perspective all the "look at me" media grabbing that JBO has done since then, the fact that were all now considering that he missed that shot only to draw attention to himself. I really hope thats not the case, and damn sad if it is......
JBo definitely likes the spot light. Two years ago, he was a hero to many Iowa fans with the swagger that he played with because he was knocking down shots at the end of games. He has not made or even taken those shots the last two years and now that same swagger is seen as being self centered. This is the nature of fandom in that players are on a pedestal as long as they win and are performing at a high level. I do hope JBo has one more run in him and can lead this team to some unexpected victories next year to silence the naysayers.
One of my roommates in the house on Linn street did just that. He was a great guy until he hit the 3rd-4th beer, then he became a total jerk.
I get a call around 11:30 on a Thursday night. Slurred speech, sounds shook up, can I come to the hospital. He kept saying "Nancy...Nancy..." (I thought he'd crashed the car and killed his girlfriend until it became clear he wanted me to call her).
I show up at the ER and he walks down the hall holding a large bandage and ice pack over his face. Says, "I want to look at it come in to the bathroom with me". His face was split open from the tip of his nose through his upper lip and his lower lip bloody and swollen. He decided to taunt an offensive lineman outside the Fieldhouse. One punch...he was out. Woke up in the back of an ambulance.

Why does this whole thing feel like a parable of Iowa Basketball. I can’t believe how terrible some of our ‘fans’ are, regarding jbo.
I’ve listened to his podcast and it was nothing but thoughtful stuff. Sure he has a strong POV, but it’s not like he a shock jock or jackass at all.
I honestly can’t understand why a fan of the program would hate on a kid for actually doing something pretty cool. And having a strong voice.
I guess because he didn’t deliver the goods and make it to the sweet sixteen or beyond that he deserves constant derision? People quickly forget all the daggers he shot two years ago?
So much so, that when he gets assaulted - people revel in it. Makes me sick.

Hating on someone and being able to see through the black and gold glasses are two different things. I can't believe how "terrible" some of our fans are for not wanting to hold someone accountable for being a complete asshole. How bout this: charge "nick" with the assault for the punch and charge Jordan for assault for each item thrown and let the chips fall where they may, you ok with that?
Again, if it was your childs party you wouldn't have given 2 shits Jordan has Iowa records you have a right to pursue your happiness as well.
Oh so you listened to his podcast. Well that settles it then. Jordan is a thoughtful and nice young man. Thanks for clearing that up for us. We can close the topic now.
I've always tended to give extra room to people in high exposure positions, whether it be sports, business, or leadership roles. To be your best you have to maintain a high level of confidence which can often border along the lines of arrogance and self importance.
To be interviewed constantly, lead competently or play at the highest level requires one to stay above a level where you won't suffer from lack of confidence or feel peer pressure etc. Though this is often mistaken for self importance, you need to be a little cocky and arrogant to a certain level. A lot of times being over confident is merely a sign of low confidnece.
I think I saw much of the parking meter podcast and agree that it seemed pretty normal. If you're looking for cocky you'll see cocky. Swag is beneficial in knocking down the game winner, or just plain taking the shot in the first place.
On July 1 anybody can carry and conceal, so we'll want to be really careful about flipping someone off in traffic or throwing ice in a bar

"An armed society is a civil society." -- Robert Heinlein (I think)
For those interested this quote has been taken way out of context. The full quote is:
"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."
It's from book by Heinlein titled Beyond the Horizon published in 1942. The problems of poverty, war, disease, conflict and aging have been solved. In the novel every need is met. Nobody does a single thing they do not want to do. And people are bored of it. They’re bored, immortal supermen. People end up getting offended over increasingly trivial matters. They get offended over mere slights of etiquette and protocol.
Why must you be polite in this society? Because every interaction that is not perfectly mannered could require a duel to the death between otherwise immortal supermen.
Bottom line: Being armed does not make people polite. Being armed defends ones perfect politeness.

Can not confirm this is legit, but this is being reported as an alternate angle to the scuffle.
If it was my child's party, I wouldn't have shown them punching someone was ok. If a college DE needed to cheap shot JBO, it's lame. Again, it seems like you are involved here. Even if Jbo was being an ahole, throwing fricking Ice, it's still not a reason to cheap shot someone. We've all been in situations where someone smaller, who we know we could pummel, has talked sh**. That doesn't mean we all take that cheap shot, that's character issues.
You are putting a lot of stock in the "cheap shot", the more that comes out the less it appears "cheap". Dude walked up to him, tapped him, said something, then swung. That's as much notice as you are ever going to get in the real world for a fight, especially in an escalated situation. It wasn't the punch that was a sucker, it was Jbo standing there thinking no one would knock his ass out for being an asshole that made him a sucker. Defend him all you want, I'm ok with an asshole getting punched and learning a lesson, hopefully the lesson learned is "when acting like an asshole there are consequences" not "I can act like an asshole and then mommy and daddy will bail me out". I have no connection to Jordan or the other party, I am simply adding my opinion based off the information available at this time.
Interesting the dearth of formal reporting on this issue after the initial articles following the coach’s statement. Realize there is likely an ongoing investigation, but surprised no reporters have taken this as an investigative string to follow up with on developments, particularly the extent of the injury that has at least initially been called “a serious head injury”. I would think, if charges were going to be filed, there was enough video evidence with the puncher that identifying him wouldn’t be that difficult as several posters seem to believe they know who it was. Despite your opinion, as they seem to be polarized in this thread, surprised the lack of more formal reporting.
That probably requires more effort....... and if the alleged puncher is who has been speculated and the punchee was acting like speculated than there is probably some behind the scenes 'we don't need all of this to go public' pressure from some school officials on both fronts.
Dont forget the celtics fan that threw a water bottle this weekend was charged with felony assault and battery. This headline could go from "Jordan was attacked" to "Jordan bohannon is being charged with X counts of assault" real quick.
If the other party is charged with assault and it's confirmed JBO was throwing ice at the group, I have no issue seeing multiple assault charges thrown in against him as well. Should have been an easy situation to diffuse, but the parties involved apparently didn't want to go that route.
It's pretty sick to see how many are in the "defend the Iowa player at all costs because he's hit some big shots for us" camp here as well. Also equally troubling is seeing how many middle age white dudes that post here like to reference "swag". It's weird guys, don't do it.
Hopefully more details come out soon and we can put this to bed.
