There are Reports that Joe T was Bombarded w/ Threats, Insults & Personal Attacks after Missing the 2 FTs

[Franisdaman]

Those threats, etc. came in his Twitter direct messages and on his Instagram page.

Apparently there were some gamblers (and of course, "fans") not happy when Joe missed the 2 FTs that would have sealed the win at Minny.

My god, what the hell has the world come to?

KF was right all along to ban players from Twitter.

Because people are idiots.

 

[vgshwk]

Wrong if true you can look at the whole team one more positive play in regulation and they win.

 

[jonesy5960]

Pathetic.

 

[nyhawk52]

disgusting- lots of lowlifes out there and unfortunately social media has given them a voice.

For once I am innocent of All Charges. Never been on Twitter, Instagram, Tik-Tok, Snapchat or Facebook in my life. I assume there are more, but I ain't on those either, and got no plans to start in this lifetime.

Ronman... you hit the nail on the head

shake it off JoeT, a nobody on twitter doesn't matter.

100%. I'm am IT guy that only uses HROT as my internet messaging program. Social media has robbed us all of so much.

Did CJF get them, too?

there was no mention of CJ

the anger is towards Joe for missing the 2 late FTs with Iowa up 3

I wonder if young people compartmentalize it well. I guess it could go a few ways.

An absolute pity its happening.

Did anyone notice if he had a phone in his hand while shooting those free throws? Too soon?

 

[ObeseMuffins]

He needs to turn off direct message feature.

OK, removing you from list of suspects. It would be best if all Iowa athletes shunned social media. Morons come out of the woodwork. They don't understand that it is only a game intended for entertainment.

He made 2 with 0:44 left and 2 with 0:27 left.

Nothing but net on all 4 of them I think? Unfortunately the game didn't end there.......

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Social media can be toxic

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

I hate when stuff like this happens. Nobody deserves that and it happens a lot now with recruits. ISU fans routinely tweet at Iowa recruits telling them they’re worthless and suck. Social Media is such a huge problem in society today.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Facebook is a cesspool.
Twitter is a construction site Porta John. In Mexico. In August.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Find these people and shoot them........with rock salt......in the foot......so it is painful for them to walk around, and so the pain can serve as a constant reminder of their stupidity when they get on social media to say something stupid again.

KF banned twitter to protect his players from Iowa fans

And it's only getting worse with that MAGA conspiracy central, Parler. Where people go for "uncensored truth."

 

[cubsMDdmb]

If I remember correctly his last free throw looked good. It sank half way down and then somehow fell out of the hoop. Maybe I’m remembering wrong. I’m not surprised by this and hope he has the common sense to know this loss is not on him. Wish he would have made one though.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Looking at his feed there are a ton of clearly either bot accounts or completely made up accounts that likely aren’t even iowa fans. I mean, just look at the handles.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Cyclone fans have been known to front as Hawkeye fans and do this crap

Have always agreed with Kirk's approach to social media during the season...

I hope the authorities are able to track each of these tweets and toss those morons in the slammer.

 

[tWarnerHawk]

Got to be rival fans trolling right? I hope so. Iowa has a lot of enemies.

1) Even if he made the 2 FT, Iowa doesn't cover the spread.
2) From the message boards, Iowa fans prefer JT to J-bo.

 

[Rifler]

Unacceptable behavior, but doubtful that any laws were actually broken...

 

[Titanhawk2]

Just like this, and any board or topic today - OP posts "reports" with nothing to show, then a whole string of condemnation posts follow

Gamblers have no blame in this?

Social media is the bane of society.

ANONYMOUS social media is the problem.

Register under a fictional username and you have immediate license to insult, threaten, mock, etc. without constructive consequences.

Society has to find a way to verify ownership of social media accounts and hold the owners personally accountable for their conduct.

 

[Suterman]

I have said (tongue slightly in cheek) Social Media- Providing a voice for those that shouldn't have one. This is proven 1,000's of times daily.

 

[texas twister]

So you are proposing Nazism where ONLY voices that you agree with are allowed to speak? No thank you. I don't vote like you.

I also have never been on any of these media outlets except Facebook. Just adds clutter to life. Joe T. Did probably hear from some fans or gamblers, but I am guessing it is being overblown.

 

[blhawk]

Those idiots were on here over the weekend.....if you are singling out Joe there and not the millionaire coach who could have still avoided OT or other players who played far worse than Joe you are f'd in the head. 2020 is revealing to me that a big chunk of Iowa fans just suck ass, thought it was a smaller minority previously. I've been on these boards close to 20 years and 2020 has been the most disgusting on here by far

No. Vocal minority.
