The Twitter Haters don't seem as nice as the Hawkeye Report haters.
JoBo outing some pos people today
- Thread starter Chishawk1425

A lot of those tweets sound just like OP on the off topic board.
Some people use it as fuel for the fire - I get the feeling JBo is that kind of player. You just have to remember if you give it out some times you have to take it too.
Only when it is called for and no not quite that bad. Great contribution per usual though!
Wow and you at me too but directly and in a public forum. Wow. Feel free to hit me up on the OT anytime if you have anything of substance otherwise contribute to the thread or don't post.
Another way to look at it- It's bigger than Iowa basketball. I think athletes should step forward and get some of these trolls fired, or kicked out of school, or reprimanded. It might slow some of this crap down. While I agree it's a small percentage of the overall fanbase, it's getting ridiculous.
Oh please Mr. Innocent routine is tired...
Lots of peeps from other teams and areas in country in these too but yes ones from our own "fans" are despicable.
Now that's funny! And from Dan Dakich. What an idiot!
I didn't claim of being and this isn't an accurate comparison but enough wasting of time. @ me anytime on the OT, please contribute to the topic at hand here or please run along.

I cannot stand that sob. Been great having him off ESPN this past season.
If this turns into a story with a broad audience, I have a distinct feeling that Bohannon will be viewed sympathetically and supported overwhelmingly among not only athletes but also social media users generally. Personally, I'm 100% in favor or exposing those idiots who use media to personally threaten others.
Are you kidding? Chis hasn’t come close to the level of illiteracy demonstrated in those tweets.
Can’t repeat this message enough. It goes beyond athletes to average kids and young people.
This kind of ridiculous nonsense is why I dumped twitter.
Good for JBo. Athletes are people too; haters should be called out.
Can’t believe these youngins’ are using their real accounts and not even burners. That’s almost as dumb as hating on a kid for playing bad during a game.
It was much harder back in the day.
Took me 5 hours and 10 phone calls to get Ed Hortons address, then another 20 minutes to write a letter, and another 40 to buy a stamp and mail it.
A number of days later he got his mail and was totally admonished about his lack of focus at the FT line the week before.

I think it’s great. Time to start calling this bs out.
I've said this before as well. Just stay off this shit for the next two weeks. For christ's sake.....
Super. A cause for Jbo to take up. In fricken April sometime.....
Exactly. This is one of the reasons I’m not a huge fan of his. He’s basically doing the same thing they are doing to him. Gotta be able to get over it and move on. Not everyone is gonna kiss his behind in the real world.
Uh, did you read the messages he posted? Those were terrible and the senders should be exposed.
Now it's relevant. Won't matter as much in April.Super. A cause for Jbo to take up. In fricken April sometime.....
The truth is that very few people really tune out the outside noise. Even in the day before social media, it's very likely players read what was said about them in the newspaper or on TV. It's about how you handle and process that. Good coaches recognize that their team is probably aware of what is being said about them, and act accordingly. If I'm Fran, my team doesn't need me telling them how great they are this week. The rest of the world is certainly doing that. But Fran doesn't need my advice with this team, he could give a giant middle finger to every nay-sayer this year, and be totally justified doing so.
I guess it's fine if JBo wants to use today to out the idiots. It's not how I would roll, the best revenge is living well. But to each their own.
If they focus and come ready to give great effort on Thursday-Saturday all will be fine.
I'm sure. I'd just like to think his head is 200% on the game Thursday and not what some piece of shit sends him on social media. This is THE guy who stood at the interview yesterday and said, "were tuning out all the outside noise", "its about us". Yesterday.
This is the only way to hold these dipshits accountable. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away.
JBo's time would be better spent thinking about upcoming games.
If this helps JBo get motivated, I guess I'm OK with it, although I wish he had some other way.
If you're on the net for any length of time, you are bound to connect to the worst of us. They love trying to bait you into a pissing match but hate it if you ignore them!

What? LOL wow, not even remotely close.
I think they’re sending him private messages. Which is even worse. In my opinion.
There is value in that approach, I think. But IMO one should be proactive when it comes to personal threats or highly offensive language. I would but I don't use Twitter so to each his own; I'm not going to fault JBO for exposing that garbage.
Not saying the things they said were acceptable but he’s basically just engaging with them. Get over it. I played sports in high school and heard a lot of stuff that was not acceptable and I got over it. Actually laughed most of it off.
I don’t have a problem with what JBO is doing. I’m more surprised that in this day and age people are stupid enough to send crap like that out with their names attached.
