Why so many spaces? You remind me of myself trying to write a 6th grade book report on ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ that was supposed to be minimum 4 pages. Really had to stretch that bad boy out.

That's because the boys on the train were military. Modern college boys would have shit themselves.
I don't know if you saw combat or where you landed in the command structure, but you couldn't have survived the guerilla wars in Iraq or Afghanistan without understanding the existence of, need for and ability to distinguish the alphas. Alphas on your side, alphas in your command, locals, etc.. You are talking with some tribesmen from Shit****istan, you need to know who's making decisions for the tribesmen, right? It might not be the guy to whom you're talking. Now they probably don't have the shoe shine issue, but other "tells" that some time in country would teach. Hand shakes? Eye contact? Who's talking and who is listening and watching?
In America it starts with eye contact, a firm handshake, quick glance down to the shoes, then you make eye contact again. Then the competition starts for control of the agenda. The first part is a quick assessment to determine if there really is a competition.
Jealous of your Army service. I wanted to go ROTC-thought West Point would be a little to jarring to by nocturnal lifestyle. My Dad had two Congressmen lined up, an R & a D. So my plan was to ease into the "do more by 6:00 AM " lifestyle through Iowa ROTC. Then the ROTC commander laughed when he got the results of my eye exam.
Keep your boots shined, son. People are watching and judging whether you realize it or not.

Big Balls should definitely be among the many ACDC theme songs that should blare from Kinnick speakers at a near concussive level. Certainly "we've got the biggest balls of them all" when a trick play works.
You probably should improve your spelling when you get into the shit flipping over writing styles. You know that Hemingway report you were going to "write" in 6th grade?
It's pretty impressive when so many QB misses still manage to produce 16 wins to 4 losses in the regular season over the past 2 years.
And sure ... I won't disagree that the D and the special teams played a significant role in those victories too. However, you still don't get that many Ws without the offense managing to score.
As we saw even in 2009 ... hopefully we all loved/appreciated Ricky Stanzi ... but even the artist behind the "Rick Six" needed to be bailed out plenty by that salty Iowa D. Same deal for Tate in 2004 ...
The point being ... diminishing our Padilla/Petras does little to help the team. So why continue throwing the feces? Will it really stick?
We're not talking about fantasy football. These guys aren't plug-and-play entities. They're young people ... prone to self-doubt ... and capable of making great improvement.
Like many others ... I'm plenty excited about Labas. However, I'm also hopeful that Padilla/Petras can improve and help continue to guide the Hawks to more winning and special seasons!
I'm sure this will be your only reply to someone who quoted that post. You'll walk away feeling validated while the rest of us continue to mock you for your geezer take.
You know, name calling is not an argument, not even part of an argument. But hey, it sounded good on South Park or the Simpsons or some other cartoon, right?
Name calling, however bad the sytax and grammar, is, however, the first resort of an uninformed mind, and, in this case bespeaking a very juvenile intelligence.
You guys are Exhibit A in the decline of American intellectualism that preceded the decline of civic self-esteem. You wonder why the "old guys" laugh at you? Call your moms, boys. I'm being mean(ish).

What we do know:
1. Hogan was 3rd string, not really shocking, but did not seem to be pushing hard into 2 deeps
2. KF made a complete ass of himself and completely disrespected a student athlete
3. 3rd string QB decides its time to move on
4. That is pretty much it, I would not try and shoe horn this one much more
Did I call you a name in that post? Don't worry, Gramps, we're all laughing harder at you than you're laughing at us.
I agree that using name-calling as an argument is sadly rampant ... and those who employ such a weak strategy deserve to be called out on it.
From being a reader of many of your posts ... I know that we likely vehemently disagree on many a political topic. However, I truly respect your general respect for civility AND the fact that you don't disregard/despise intellectualism.
Many folks who resort to name-calling do so because they think so little of themselves (and others) to even bother to form a cogent thought. And even worse ... they're even less willing to question some of their own dogmatically held beliefs (rather than attempting to become more knowledgeable about topics).
Eh, blaming others as name-callers when they didn't engage in such is a sign of self-confidence even weaker than what you're accusing.
Thank you. The decline in intellectualism is the greatest problem facing Western culture. People are no longer even being taught the logical thought process, empiricism and reasonable inferences drawable from the empirical facts.
We'll cross wits again.
I was in the USAF and some people even consider that as military. LOL Anyway, thank you sir for your service.
That’s fair. Lol. Wasn’t really flipping shit…more just curious I guess. I’ll fix it for ya. Happy New Year.
You're not getting smarter son. Another personal attack but still nothing about why you said my post was:
So you still concede the point you ridiculed because all you can do is throw snark and ad hominem, not actually argue or even raise an issue as how I might have been wrong. To double down on dumb and do so in such an inartful way shows you don't grasp irony.
Agree with this. I will add that is why politics cannot be discussed with cogent thought. Easier to attack the other person, candidate or idea with senseless drivel than an intellectual idea.
I also enjoy being called out for hiding behind a keyboard. There have been more posters such as the firefighter paramedic with the valor award who open themselves up and become much more of a person being enjoyable to converse with as it adds depth to their opinion. Many on the wrestling board have met at Bigs or Nationals so when posting a person is known.
Lol. Guys always complained and said “should have joined the Air Force.”I was in the USAF and some people even consider that as military. LOL Anyway, thank you sir for your service.
Thank YOU for yours as well.
No kidding. It’s Deuce Effing Hogan. And HE wanted to leave. This board is not going to handle the portal very well. Best to get used to this shit.
As I sit here, sulking in my inability to grasp irony, I ask for you take a moment to contemplate your inability to see hypocrisy slapping you in the face. Or, whine more about personal attacks as you continue to sling them yourself. I don't care either way.
Regarding the substance of your post. First of all, I mostly just shit-post on mobile while drinking. Therefore, I'm not going to plunk out five paragraphs on my phone to spoon-feed you the logic on "weak handshake, weak man" being an antiquated judgement.
I'm also not going to drone on about how coming to an anonymous message board to seek validation for your intelligence is a glaring display of insecurity.
Anyway, enjoy your retirement. I've got work to do.
My sister did 24 years in the Navy, and the other X military friends I have were all Marines, and they DO NOT consider me X military. LOL

It doesn't matter how many stars
It doesn't matter how many stars our QB has. If we don't significantly improve our offensive line play as well as become more creative in play calling, ratings are irrelevant. A five star QB picks himself off of the ground just like a two star.
While I appreciate your recognition that you bit off more than you could chew when you commenced our discourse by describing my writing, and hence me, as "hilarious"-and in a manner not intended as flattering and "pathetic". That's just the bullying intolerance that the children and grandchildren of my generation substitute for rational discourse. Being the object of ridicule is not something I, and most other sane people enjoy so you got to share the sensation, on a much nastier scale. I'm just they guy that won't let it drop until I've inflicted some pain on my attacker. Here's another thought you might find antiquated, don't start fights because you never know how or when they will end.
You have had plenty to say so the "I'm not going to plunk out five paragraphs on my phone to spoon-feed you the logic on "weak handshake, weak man" being an antiquated judgement" sounds like an excuse for the inability to argue your point about antiquities of thought-****, you cannot even spell the word judgment. You plunked out four paragraphs to whine so it's not the burden of "educating" me that deters you it's the fear that you I will continue to cartoon on you.
Most of the regular posters know who I am in real life. I'm not here to be validated by outwitting and ridiculing a "drunk" "shit post[er]. I mostly consider only one thing as validating-when someone writes me a check. I've considered my intelligence as validated since I learned I'd completed our school districts 12th grade reading program, when I was six. I enjoy punishing the name callers with a heavy dose of their own tactics. Guessing you have not enjoyed the ease with which your desire to insult me or degrade the value of my argument by simply saying its "pathetic" turned into your admission that you are mostly a "drunk" "shit post[er]" to try and escape the ridicule.
I'm only 62. I will be working for years to come-just get to choose how I spend the roughly 18 hours I'm still awake on most days. People my age will still be running the show for another 20 years.
You've had enough. Next time you want to start insulting and bullying other people you might want to remember that sometimes the bullied bite back.

It isn't the first time KF has been wrong about a QB. He thinks a players best trait is longevity. Hogan very well could be the best QB but KF will never let that out or admit it.
5 more paragraphs for that? Just let it go brother.
I didn't read more than the first half of the first sentence. Your fake confidence tells me there's nothing but drivel to follow. Bye
Lol, Gramps is getting feisty! I'm sorry you wasted your time typing out whatever fairytale you've got dancing around upstairs. It was obviously driven by senility, and I'm getting bored continuing to swat you away like a fly.
Hey Deplorable, I watched a rude 35 year old with crusty heals, white Oakley's, and a typical Florida Gator Polo cut in front of a young gal in her early twenty's at a resteraunt today to get his name in for a table. Argued for a fair amount with the hostess who told him he was rude and had no manners and needed to apologize to the young lady he cut off at the door. Hostess verbally undressed him and took the young gals request for a table first before his. Young guy was still rather surely about the whole deal and told her he wouldn't apologize to anyone as he hadn't done anything wrong. Older people need to get with the times and get a life. He walks out the door and a man in his 60's walked up to him and said he really should apologize to his granddaughter. Young man told him where to go and the older gentleman bloodied his nose with one swift blow. Pretty little Gator shirt with blood all over it. I'll be damned, the older gentleman turned back around and said, "Shine those shoes young man."
Stallman calling you Gramps... Here we go again.
Stallman calling you Gramps... Here we go again.
Why does anyone here care to talk about Deuce Hogan or debate why he's transferring? He never played a down at Iowa. He seems like a great dude. So does his family. That's the abstract. Some of you guys can turn watching road tar into a debate about how good or bad Iowa is. Maybe everyone survives and moves along? Wild stuff!
I think Stallman has been sufficiently bloodied, although there's a little more pain to administer before he realizes I won't give bullies the last word-it's the oxygen that fuels their sense of absolute moral authority.
You just know the pussy ran to the police after his old school educational experience.
I didn't type anything. Your bullying is not going to get the last word, although you just keep sounding more juvenile and increasingly dumb every time you hurtle some snotty, snarky or stupid insult. Just let it drop kid. You can feel...validated.
I'll say this if Hogan truly wanted to be a Hawkeye that bad joke by Ferentz would not make him transfer. I believe he was being passed up on the field.
