Camp Update Thread?

Re: Camp Update Thread?

Dude , why???? You have to know that by saying this you are repeating a rumor you heard that has no merit and is racially charged (insinuating Farley has racial preferences for playing time is a BIG deal).

Some people sitting on the bench may think race is the reason when the real reason is they just were not good enough.

Don't degrade Farley or the panthers by saying race plays a part in who plays and who does not.

I think farley's motto is best man plays. I think from the stats Rennie might be the best QB. Black or white or Asian. Time will tell. To be honest Zach hasn't really overly impressed me.

I am glad your stupid thread got deleted.

Think a little before you post.

This, sans the glad your post got deleted, unless it was making accusations that Farley is racist, which is laughable at best.

Re: Camp Update Thread?

Someone said it earlier, but anyone who isn't playing can assume it is because of his race, but usually it just has to do with flat out talent. 'Either the staff is racist for not playing me because I'm not white...or the staff is showing favoritism to those with more skin pigment.' Usually it is just sour grapes.
In the past few years we have had players of all skin color playing and even starting at all different positions, so I don't see any strange trends.

9yr said he has heard from players that Farley favors black players. He also said he was not surprised with the QB choice for that reason.

He may be hiding behind alleged statements of former players, but its hard to argue he isn't making accusations that Farley is racist. That is one heck of an accusation to make about our head football coach.

Ok my issue with this, why do FORMER players opinions suddenly matter when they leave the program. I would hope that our players are smart enough that if they feel an enviroment(sp?) of racism exists DURING their tenures at UNI they would speak to the compliance officer. SO why then when they don't speak out during their tenure here do they suddenly start saying things after they leave the program, this is what I don't get. 789 not attacking you or your post.

i think farley will play the person which he perceives as giving his team the best chance to win.

if you think i am calling farley a racist, you have serious reading comprehension problems, among other things.

Perhaps not, but you are definitely portraying him as a very insincere person without any concrete evidence to back that up. Many here who have met him would disagree with your second hand assessment of his personality.

It may be time for you to stop digging.

You made 2 undeniable statements:

1. You have been told that Farley favors black players over white players.

2. For that reason, you predicted that he would choose the black qb over the white qb.

Clearly, this indicates that you believe the players that you allegedly spoke to.

At the absolute least, you are accusing him of racism with respect to the personnel decisions he makes.

Re: Camp Update Thread?

This wouldn't be the first thread in interwebs history where 9year pissed all over his own shoes and thought it was wine. That said, it still doesn't explain why the thread was deleted.

Rules people. It would be nice to know what the rules are.

Re: Camp Update Thread?

so, you are saying that the entire NBA and most of the NFL skill positions are racist?

You can't possibly be so stupid that you think this is the same as the accusations you have made.

At the very least you said that you heard that Farley takes race into consideration when playing players. (technically that is racism but whatever)

That is a MAJOR ACCUSATION that makes our beloved coach look like a jack###

You better either shut up or put up some proof!!

Re: Camp Update Thread?

Begin Rant.

Here is the fact. Within the boundaries of our state, the people who run the track and field, football, and basketball programs, are the without a doubt the most color blind people within our walls. No where in our state is there a collection of blacks and whites that must work together or be in the same environment equally than on our University's athletic fields or courts. Same goes for Iowa and Iowa State. Those of you who have not been a part of it simply do not understand. Its not an issue when you are a part of it, its life.

I could throw out a laundry list of black, and white players who feel they have been slighted over the years. I have said it before and will say it again. Thats just life. You are dealing with 18-22 year olds who are simply not mature enough to admit they weren't good enough so they look for reasons. There are 105 lockers in the locker room, if 2 guys say they aren't playing because of race, you hear their comments because they "shock you." It doesn't change the fact that a person is just better than another.

Keep in mind, I have just described two different sets of people, leadership (coaches / administration) and players who feel they are slighted.
End Rant.
