Maybe Park can have a career as a Nicholas Cage stunt double, because nobody else is going to want a head case on their team that throws the most loyal fan base in the country under the bus.
Jacob Park to transfer
- Thread starter ZB4CY
- Start date
His kind of attitude is the type of cancer that is not needed in the ISU locker room. Best of luck to him, I hope he gets his life figured out and matures at some point.
This. Don't go playing the victim card when you are responsible for your own actions. He let his team down by choosing to smoke pot. He was the one who ended up getting his girlfriend pregnant. Then he throws us under the bus?
Looks to me like he missed two meetings with Cambell and Coach finds out he wants a release when he is out recruiting. Talk about not manning up and taking responsibility for your own actions. I hope he gets things figured out sooner then later,
I was a big fan of his and was hoping he would still be around the program in some capacity. I'm all about second chances, but he needs to look himself in the mirror and start owning some of his issues or get professional help. He has a young one to think about and become a role model for so hopefully he mans up before things spiral out of control. Good luck to him!
Extremely, highly doubtful that your comments had anything to do with Park's situation. Don't become an enabler.
The way Randy Pete seems to get off on twisting a question or article into speculation, this kind of thing was red meat for the DMR.
Quote from the DM Register article (bold added for emphasis):
"The former starting quarterback for the Cyclones said in an interview with the Register on Monday night that he asked for his release from Iowa State earlier in the day and plans to transfer."
That appears to me that Park is saying he had talked to Iowa State before giving the interview to the Register. So Iowa State knew about Park's decision before the article came out.
Or Park is lying.
I do not believe the change in QB was the main factor in the win streak. The biggest change was in the defense. Under Park, the offense average 33 points and the defense yield 25 points. This was against team with comparative weaker offenses (UNI, IA, Akron, Texas). Park had one sub-par game, against Texas when he was under constant pressure.
Without Park the offense averaged 28 points and the defense yielded 19 points. This was against teams that were typically stronger on offense, e.g., Okla, UWV, Baylor, TT, Okla St, not KS or KSU. In summary, the defense really stepped up.
.
That's fine. I was just going by a tweet that indicated Campbell found out through a DMR report, that's all. Obviously, not good to believe every tweet you read, right?
Yeah, the defense was a real surprise and caused havoc for other offenses most of the time.
Tommy did a lazy job reporting this news. How many edit's/changes have we seen?
The defense really did step it up.
But I think the offensive production was down due to the fact that the offense couldn't be as aggressive. Playbook was a little more limited with Kempt in there.
If Park serves his 1 game suspension and comes back are we a more productive offensive team with a stout defense? Hard to say and I don't want to speculate.
Not a problem, I was just pointing out the discrepancy between the tweets and Park's comments in the Register article. Others on here probably were confused by the tweets also and that can happen quite often. I expect more information will continue to come out from the Iowa State side of things as apparently (as someone previously mentioned) the gag order has been lifted.
For his baby's sake, I hope he grows up, take ownership of his mistakes and not pointing fingers at fans and other people are the main problem. A lot of us wanted him back on the team, but we can only wish him nothing but the best wherever he ends up at. Nebraska does not have a good QB, so maybe Frost might help him to NFL. Good luck either way.
Old news, time to move forward.
I heard rumors we are going to a bowl game?

I'm torn on the whole thing. On one hand, I completely agree on the need to be supportive. These are relatively young people just getting started in life. They won't be perfect. I'm sure they have many of the same vices and insecurities many of us had at that age, and probably still have. It's just they have a spotlight many of us have never experienced.
However, on the other hand, as supporters of Iowa State, I do think we are entitled to be upset if the team and it's coaches are unnecessarily disparaged. I struggle to believe a lot of what was said in that article is true. Stanz has been on record as having seen him at the facility recently. Campbell doesn't strike me as the type of person to not at least attempt to communicate with a player regarding his status with the team. It just doesn't make sense.
In any event, he can move on. Thanks for your efforts, and I hope he finds what he is looking for. I suppose we just have to take the digs with a grain of salt.

We've got a pretty good flag league down here in the K.C. area, even has a few guys who played JUCO or small college. He should give me a call. All of us have kids too, so that will work on the family side.
