Asian Pimp Mobile! That's a good way of making a Ferrari look like some kids Toyota Supra. SMH
Ferrari's
- Thread starter Inspiteofourselves
- Start date
If I had that one, it would be at Perfect 10 getting painted back to factory asap. Man that has to be one of the worst paint schemes I have ever seen on a high end sports car and I have seen some doozies.
well that's fine.... i have either grown a long luscious head of hair or I've become a young African American who laughs in the face of danger !!! Either way I hope i wouldn't enjoy cliff diving In Grip's Ferrari
The Brands’ style and mentality hasn’t had much success lately, eh? I’d like to see them change their mentality a bit unless scrapping for the #2 spot is the goal.
I meant the high octane tenacity and work ethic . You combine that with much better talent like the Ferrari’s and you could get a very synergistic situation.
I guess that depends on what is, and will be considered acceptable behavior. I went to Iowa in the early to mid 80's - those teams weren't filled with choir boys either.
In the age of camera phones and social media, there’s a different bar one must clear.
Trust me, this team ain’t full of choir boys either.
That story about Kem and Tom and how he doesn’t want guys who party and he wants Kem to help clean it up?
Yeah. That’s gone. Tom is desperate.
In the 80's the ability to party was a prerequisite - coaches too.
At Iowa? Under 5.5.
All in including past and future transfers? Over 5.5.
Let's be honest, we better make hay while we can with these guys bc odds are they won't be here their entire careers. It's the way of the ncaa now especially for guys that run at red line most of the time. I'm here for it though, ready to enjoy the ride!

Not for TnT. They stayed away from even alcohol while growing up, if I remember correctly.
I wonder if there are any top athletes who have stayed away due to knowing about some of their “beliefs”?
It’s a mixed bag - but Tarp can tell you - when gable cleaned up the program l, it had to do more with having MORE clean cut guys and making sure they were of influence.
Same at PSU - I know early on it wasn’t pretty much zero tolerance. Q talked about the entire team being punished if it were found out guys were at the bars.
Pretty sure it’s somewhat more relaxed now (Cenzo and Marky likes to party) - but their best guys were clean living (DT, Zain, nolf nickal, megaludis)
If I am a top notch recruit who likes to have a good time I am heading to ASU to hang with Zahid. Don’t see how Iowa can compete with that
I think we had too many guys in '87-88-89 who thought it must be easy to be an NCAA champ because Royce and Lewboo and Rico made it look so effortless. But they didn't have the skills or the work ethic.
Tom and Terry saved the program. They had a singular, kamikaze focus. They couldn't score a takedown on Davis or Penrith for two years, but they were too stubborn to accept it. So they just kept getting better and better until others realized, well, shit, we can be a lot better too--our raw, mistake-prone, hot-tempered redshirt freshman just tied the NCAA champ in a dual.
Then the Steiners came in and also had a kamikaze focus. They were not insane like the Brands, but they had the same relentless work ethic.
And everyone else upped their game.
There was definitely less beer consumed in the summer of '90 than the summer of '88--five guys on the team (including Zaputil) didn't drink.
But it was more about raw skill + hard work + perseverance than anything else. Royce Alger could kick anyone's ass on the team 10x over. Penrith stopped drinking and didn't win another title--just sayin'--not always a clear correlation.
