I'm sure him keeping his act together between now and when he would potentially arrive would be a requirement. I'm not going to worry too much about it. If he isn't serious about getting it together he won't make it to the point of joining the team at 2nd semester.
He who shall not be named
- Thread starter crablegs1
- Start date
Why would you show up to the Trials and Open way out of shape?
Oh I know because he's never in shape. He thinks "going out and hooping like he did on the mean streets of BMORE" is as good of a workout as wrestling is.
I mentioned this in an earlier thread. Downey having the initials BAMF on his singlet at the WTT was extremely disgusting and spoke clearly about the type of individual he is. Maybe some youth teams should follow his lead and put those initials on their singlets (yes, that's sarcasm).
Cheers!Another acceptable answer:
They are 3 men who have never been in my kitchen.
On a more serious note, I can empathize with fans who are torn over how to react to such a development. You're loyal to a team for X number of years, to the point that it's in your blood. And then the leaders of the team make (in this case, ponder) a decision to which you have personal, moral objections, such that you would feel bad about yourself if you were to support it -- or imply through continued support of the team that you support it.
I felt the same way when the Eagles brought on Michael Vick.
Has anyone considered the option of just continuing support of the team but voicing displeasure with the individual(s) involved? Like go to duals and tourneys, cheer like mad for 9 Hawks, but boo the heck out of the individual(s) with whom you have a beef?
Not saying that would be effective, but those with guilty consciences might feel better. I know the popcorn-eater in me would be highly entertained. Kinda like A-Rod getting booed at Yankee Stadium . . .

And that is how it would work. He stays in Ames while he proves himself. Not a Hawk or even an Iowa student until then or at all if he doesn't hold up his end of whatever agreement between him and the coaches. Far safer option for the Hawks than the assumed plan of him showing up in Iowa City and enrolling this month.
PD3's challenge will be getting into that wrestling room. If he gets that far he will be fine. From what I hear, the culture in that room is life changing. He needs this. I wish him the best.
This
I am 100% sure that if PD3 comes there will be a box of behavior for him to abide by. If not, he's gone. I too am 100% sure that his behavior or lack thereof, will have no effect on anyone on the team. At minimum, he's a good workout partner, at best he could be a high AA to NC. To me, the only downside is that he comes on, gets kicked out and doesn't provide the above. But not trying to bring him in yields nothing anyway.
I've tried to help guys like PD3 in my business. Most have not worked out, but some have. The downside has been similar to what I've mentioned above.....after some failures that were my fault for not being explicit on the rules. I have every confidence the coaches have expressed the rules clearly to PD3, if in fact, they have talked to him
This kid never had a chance with this clown for a dad. JFC.
Ms Wendy, can I call you?
No. You're not a respectable man.
Can I email you?
I might not be respectable, but I respect -I'm MN and I respect Iowa! Seriously though, I respect a lady who "gets" wrestling. Hope my daughter grows up to understand that.
With all said, if Pat Downey goes to Iowa, the Hawks will have a national champ this year! Maybe two.
At 97, he won't get it at 84.

No. Stop.
Dude...stop hassling Wendy. It's getting weird and your game is for shit. Just let her enjoy posting like everybody else.
Tell her to stop following me around. What's creepy is your pic of a grown man who prays on high school girls. THAT IS CREEPY! Normal I suppose for retired Air Force.
Why does everyone argue with the blank spot? It is almost like guns is back in town....
Don't knock anyone that has served our country in any branch of our military you piece of crap. Maybe you could benefit from some service if mom and dad kick you out of their basement.
Wendy is missing a fantastic opportunity to troll a troller. But that probably isn't her style.
I do not normally get involved in any of these message board pi$$ing contests, but I just have to say WOW at the fact that you have a CAC. That’s really impressive. I had one for 21 years of active duty, then 3 years as a defense contractor and a couple more years as a DA civilian. Does that make me "cool" like you? I do not personally know anyone on this board, but I believe that IAChief was simply saying what I think we are all thinking and that is that your attempts at opening a dialogue with Wendy79 through this board are boorish at best.
Finally somebody who doesn't have their panties in a bundle. Humor, people. Too many people here with thin skin.No, air force is free game to make fun of.
Kid obviously has some issues, however; knowing TnT's strong christian faith I could see them wanting to help a talented young man.
I think we need to look at the issues at hand when it comes to giving second (or third, fourth) chances. It looks to me he has had some anger issues and tweeting stupid (probably true) things about ISU. Maybe TnT think they can legitimately help this young man and with Iowa's claimed strong culture, maybe this would be a good landing spot? I think every coaching staff has an area that can be questioned- however, I think it is safe to say that TnT's integrity is not one of those things

Wooderson is fictional and still has more game than you. You could get a few tips from him.

I've never actually seen this movie, but with all the pictures and gifs and chief being a prominent poster on the board, I feel an obligation to watch it now.
Im not even sure how its possible that someone hasn't seen that movie. Wait, how old are you vodka?
