Agreed. What are these boards for if not for discussion/rumors etc. In fact, it wasn't the first time I heard the rumor about the supposed M.Eierman disdain for Iowa Style. Turns out, that narrative was B.S. and its exactly why staffs do not like message boards/social media. Did you hear that he was going to be given a job at ISU? I think that all started as a joke on the PSU board (think Nate Carr). Saw it on Twitter, Cy Forum, Facebook, Insta and a few other forums. Plus, maybe some wishful thinking that the Iowa rumor wasn't true. I am guessing Gobblin heard it from somebody inside a room (not necessarily Iowa) who probably was snookered by that too. Who knows.
These things change at a fast pace and its only going to get quicker. It's a recruit's market now. We were slow to adapt and it cost us a cycle of being in contention.
@TarpHawk was talking about the next big thing and the transfer market is it. Tom and the staff have adapted and are ahead of the power curve in this instance.
