Yes, it is a dig at the Iowa football program's recruiting, and I never tried to hide that.
How did you "not try to hide it"? Here is your post:
"It's even funnier that Heller has the top recruiting
class in the B1G, despite no mountains or beaches, etc. AND the obvious
disadvantages baseball has be virtue of being a northern cold weather
state."
About as snarky as it gets. You don't even mention football, you pretend you are actually commenting about baseball, using an idiotic premise to do so.
You see if poor little ol' Iowa has some disadvantages that prevents Kirk from bringing in better recruits, then why would student-athletes in other sports not see those disadvantages.
So you compare it to BASEBALL? And Big Ten recruiting? That is where your post was idiotic.
I understand where you were going. You heard a thing about Iowa having a good recruiting class in BASEBALL so you immediately thought, "I need to snark about football, this is pure gold Jerry!" Except that you are too dim-witted to actually, you know, know what the hell you are talking about.
I bring up wrestling because people act like it is effortless to bring in top recruits because the state of Iowa is known for wrestling. Do you think they just fall in Brands' lap? No. But the reason they can get the top recruits in the nation to consider Iowa is because someone built up the reputation and built the program into a destination for top wrestlers and others have maintained that level.
You don't know what "people act like", you aren't a wrestling fan. Don't pretend you are some follower of wrestling recruiting now, it was a dumbass point.
So since you have a hard time reading between the lines, I am saying that the Iowa football staff has to bust their butts like Heller and his staff and Brands and his staff. Got it?
Yes, so Iowa has to "bust their butts" and sign a majority of guys from Iowa? Is that your new premise? Grab some from Illinois?
I won't discuss wrestling with you, because frankly, you are too ignorant on the subject for it to even make sense.
Complain about the Iowa program, feel free, but don't do it with this mind-numbingly baseless horsesht snarkiness.
Yah, I was being snarky. We are stealing kids from MAC schools in football. Well yipee. And yes, it does pertain to baseball because I was also complimenting Heller. I heard a thing? Hahahahhaha. Mr. Stuffed Shirt, I have known Rick Heller for 28 years and regularly speak to him.
And yes I do know what people act like re: wrestling because when people bring up wrestling on here about how they have been able to be a top program and get top recruits, we get the but, but, but wrestling is big in Iowa, it's different, blah blah. And I am a wrestling fan and have been for many, many years. As we approach the traditional tournament tomorrow, let us reminisce the good ol' days in Vets. The pack mentality of your school's fans, moving from bleacher to bleacher to crowd into the area in front of the mat where your guy is wrestling. The continued deafening roar of a packed auditorium. The sheer madhouse. Ah, yes, Mr. Stuffed Shirt, surely you recall those great memories, given your vast knowledge of the sport.
And hey, BTW, Mr. Stuffy, I will complain in any way I choose. For the record, since you have trouble understanding, there was sarcasm in this post.
