Haha, didn’t mean much by it. Simply that I don’t live there anymore and just happened to be visiting the weekend an Iowa basketball player gets clocked! Lol.
I hope not. It seems a bit low for the Krush, which does charitable work, to make a display of guffawing and chortling at a rival school having a player knocked out. It’s no better than when they made fun of the Jamar Smith incident. The Krush can do better.
Indeed, after both Jamar and McBride being busted for drunk driving the Iowa fans were chanting "I-L-L"..."D-U-I"

Also, with fans like that, who needs enemies?

You mean this Krush?
You can both do charitable works and needle a loudmouth who deserves it. They're not mutually exclusive things.
I’m not aware of anyone I know being in a bar fight.

This^ I have no doubt BoBo will hear from student sections across the B1G this year
Sure, but the Francon poster and what you’ve described are different from my specific concern. Neither of those are joking about a physical assault someone suffered.

You're really that determined to stand up for a dude who was throwing ice and glass at people in a crowded bar, huh?
Iowa fans aren't even bothering with that.
And spare me the lecture on violence not being a way to solve anything. I'm say it again: Bohannon was throwing ice and glass at other patrons. That's careless AND dangerous and can be labeled assault as well. Not to mention stupid. My 7 year-old nephew knows better than to do that. Why doesn't a 23 year-old?

Because your 7-year-old nephew is probably smarter than Bohannon and definitely more mature???

Certainly better educated.
I've looked for a link to verify this 'assault'. Can't find one. Could you post one?

We literally had someone on this board who was in town and posted about it.
There will be no official news source saying he did it because the Iowa athletic department is the one who released the official statement. They're not going to acknowledge their player was acting like a dbag and had it coming. This is the organization that hired Fran after all.

Perhaps I should have asked for a credible link.
Maybe it's just me, but I find that giant GIF of Fran you posted to be very disturbing...
Replying to your points...
Your Point 1)
It’s not about “standing up for a dude who throw ice and glass...” I don’t really care if it was a different player from a different team. The point was what are student sections making displays about. Whether it’s Jamar Smith “I L L D U I” or someone getting assaulted. Hopefully that clears it up for you...I said nothing to “stand up for a guy throwing ice and glass.” This seems like you jumping to conclusions and putting a bunch of words in someone’s mouth. Sometimes it really isn’t necessary to impute motives or meaning beyond what’s actually said.
Your Point 3) “And spare me the lecture on violence not being a way to solve anything.” Again, my point was simply in response to what one guy said, that the fan bases were going to do stuff with this incident. All I commented on was if it looks good or not if groups in the stands like Krush or other student groups, are making their display chortling about it. I don’t care if it’s someone from a different team...say the player had bones broken or their career was ended...is that appropriate for fans to be waving a banner about? The Francon poster is in good fun...laughing about someone’s injury or assault is different.
So again this is about what the fans do with it at the games...there was not any “lecture on violence not being a way to solve anything.” This is another example of you putting words in someone’s mouth and getting off topic onto things that interest you, for whatever reason. If that interests you fine but that’s not what I was talking about.
Thanks for enlightening me with your superior understanding of the way the world works. If you want to disagree with my particular points fine. But it seems like it will be futile to try any discussion with you if you assume any number of things beyond what I’m actually saying and be like, your position is x, y, and z, spare me this and that. We can try “so you’re saying A, so you’re saying B, etc” until the cows come home. I’m not trying to argue these other things you mentioned.

The fact BU signed Fran's forehead makes me like our coach even more.

I explained to you why there wasn't one. Iowa Athletic's PR machine is getting out in front of it. We'll see what the cameras show in the police investigation, but I'm inclined to believe he was throwing ice. The glass may not be as likely (I don't know any college bars that give out actual glass cups as a preventive measure), but ice will still hurt like hell and isn't acceptable either.
