Capello Transfering...

[tazclone]

Capello was a chizik recruit that rhoads kept on board.

Absolutely not. Capello was a Herman recruit. Somone Herman had his eye on when he was at Rice and brought here when he came

Still trying to see where he rubbed people the wrong way. He never said a bad word about others, the staff, fans, players, never...The closest thing he said was"this is the first time he was disappointed in cyclone fans." Following the spring game because even though his son moved the offense as effectively as the others, fans automatically put him behind.
People that are upset about anything Capello said, are just looking for something to be upset about.

And you don't think his frustration was increasing? I was getting the vibe that it was coming through passive aggressively and underlying in his posts. Maybe it's just me. I'm not saying he was a terrible poster, but people are blinded by posters that have a connection the program. And if the disappointment of realizing JC was never going to start, it could potentially get bad. I'm just merely saying, the vibe was off, and it just rubs me the wrong way when family members of athletes get involved on message boards.

Or the fact, that having a family member posting has hardly ever turned out a good thing in the past. And it reminds A SMALL MINORITY OF posters of those dads who take there kids athletics far too seriously.

Fixed it for you.

FWIW- There have been plenty of parents that have posted on ISU message boardds. I can't think of any that it turned out bad. Austin Flynn's parents posted, Money's brother, Hamilton's dad, Kris Means dad, etc, etc, etc. Most of them are cordial. Walk lightly and join to make a connection with a fanbase that they just became mebers of.

I will say again. This board is full of stupid people.

So meet me at the mission at midnight. We'll divvy up there.

Obviously there may be a minority (not as small as you believe) but numerous posters have shared the same opinion on the subject, just not on this thread.

Never got that vibe form his posts. Never. I am perplexed at how people got that vibe.

I got that vibe every time Capello posted. Maybe it's just because I've experienced "that parent" all too often when playing and coaching.

Your post is full of "hard evidence". I hope your not a lawyer or a detective.

If you dont like it when family members get on the board, fine. Capello didnt DO anything to warrant your negativity other than just becoming a member of CF and posting his thoughts and feelings. What kind of idiot does that on a message board?

Oh wow, he scored a td against Utah's back-ups, considered me thoroughly impressed. He didn't even have a collegiate throw. Just cause someone does something in practice doesn't mean they can do it in games. Wasn't that the mantra of the anti-AA crowd last year because he would do well in practice, but some games would falter?

1. He did it in a game that no other Cyclone QB could.
2. I am just quoting Rhoads. Not saying he could or could not do it in a game.
3. Just pointing out that fans that have no insight and no connections to the program, immediately put Capello #4. Because, well, ummm, no reason.
4. No AA has never been called a great practice player. People generally think he was in the wrong system.

Out of rep... But this is exactly how I felt. Throughout playing sports in my life, there were numerous parents like that. And I also saw it since my dad coached for years and had to deal with these type of parents.

Even a third string QB is only two plays (with injuries) away from being the starter for the rest of the season. Remember the Ohio State senior QB a few years ago who got benched for the season behind Pryor, then came through at the end of the season. I wish him the best, but also kind of wish he had stayed.

I always have mixed feelings on these things. Double edged sword.
I totally understand kids wanting the opportunity to play more. Ater all, you only get one shot at college ball.
However, I also like when players accept their roles for the greater good of the team. Every team needs a couple capable back-up QBs.
But again, I understand the desire to play. These kids are competitors. They wouldnt be at this level if they werent. And, we will still have capable back-ups.
Good luck James!

From my count, three posters in this thread. And like I have said, I have found many parents onmessage boards to be great posters. Many more good posters than bad. Austins Flynn's family never said a bad thing even when he lost the job to Meyer. Kris Mean's parents never said a bad thing even when he transferred. The City is pretty open when money makes mistakes. I guess i have far more examples of family members being good posters than over the top. I can't even think of a bad family memeber posting. They generally keep their mouth shut about internal things and support the program. Even when most fans thought Capello was #4, tom was complimenting the staff and saying he believed in them. I once said I really don't have a lot of faith in the offensive staff and Tom came on and said to trust them. They know what they are doing and are making decisions for the good of the team. I don't see you guys posting those posts.

BTW- if I ever find myself agreeing with cyclonesoulja, I generally know I am wrong.

Wrong, AA had to TD's. I believe thats one more then JC. If my math is correct.

Cant give you rep but this is right on IMO.

I just hope Jennert doesn't follow. It looked like these two were pretty close and I'd like to have Jennerts height catching some balls this year.
