ISD: That Poor Man, Gene Chizik

**Cycsk** · 10-23-2012, 11:07 AM

Whatever you thought of McCarney as a coach was trumped by the fact that you knew that he really did care for ISU, its players and coaches (in all sports). The difference between him and Chizik is astronomical.

Dear Author,

Shut up *****.

Signed,

Everyone that was actually in Ames or around Ames when Chizik was in charge

Yeah - I don't know who is on the editorial board, but they're probably primarily students who weren't around when the Chizik debacle went down. If that's the case, it's a little easier to see why they don't get it. Regardless, they're wrong.

Eff whoever wrote that article.

Chiz has plenty of talent. He just hired another poor set of coaches. They must be his golf buddies.

Chizik is a southern boy who didn't do one damn thing to try in fit in at ISU. I will never hope anything but failure for that a-hole. I absolutely love Iowa State University. Just can't believe that article was written in the Iowa State Daily, Iowa State being the keyword. So if you have any loyalty for ISU, how can you not root against Geno.

Guys we have to think about his feelings!

I wonder how much Genes wife paid the person to write this. She seems to be in damage control mode. Genie doesn't care what anybody thinks of him, besides he doesn't have feelings. You have to have a heart first don't ya? He was about as cold hearted as anybody I ever met. Not to mention one of the most arrogant SOBs as well. He cares only about himself and if it wasn't for buying Cam Newton he would have been fired already.

The nugget about recruiting is just comical as well. Poor Gene!

Who would deny a fanbase's right to hold a grudge? A bad person, that's who. Shame on that author.

Lord, thank you for JP, CPR, and CFH. You heard our prayers.

Gene Chizik killed 5 hookers while in Ames. You heard it here first folks. P.S. I do not write for the Iowa State Faily.

And yes, that typo is on purpose.

**carvers4math** · 10-23-2012, 11:34 AM

I'm sure the editorial writer would think I'm a big meanie, but I also root against Penn State wrestling (well Penn State everything unless they are playing Iowa ) and Creighton basketball (although McDoormat also did us a huge favor). I do however support North Texas football.

It has to be on purpose, because if that typo was on accident, you clearly would be writing for them.

Wish I had saved my favorite/horrid typo from the ISD during my ISU years (or right after, when I still worked @ISU Surplus.) Women's soccer was having trouble producing any offense, the headline read something like "More Offensive Hoes." So bad and at the same time funny, I clipped and hung at my workbench in the warehouse. Almost like someone put it in there to test the editors, "w" and "h" are nowhere near each other on a keyboard...

Oh, and I don't really care about Chiz and Auburn. Just like he didn't really care bout ISU... Can somebody re-post the "I is in your football offizes, stealing your millionz." picture?

my thoughts exactly. easy for someone on the outside to say get over it and move on. They didn't have to have their hopes demolished and endure his 5-19 seasons.
