Thankfully you guys don't have any say when it comes down to suspensions. Allen was suckerpunched by an ISU student who was talking trash. While he was getting up somebody was running at him, and he defended himself. Did he break his jaw? Yes. Did he hit the wrong person? Yes. Just don't sit there from your pedestal (which isn't very high) and question the suspension handed down by the Hawkeye Leadership Council and Coach Ferentz. All the while come September 10, you'll be screaming go No. #10.

This post is begging for retaliation just as much as the ISU student who allegedly suckerpunched Allen. Thanks for stopping by.

Sorry to be the first to tell you that Iowa's arrest record under Ferentz during the Tressel years is worse than tOSU's arrest record under Tressel. Now, go preach to somebody that might actually give a shit.

Your retort suggests that you equate Allen's actions with self-defense.
That is demonstrably a faslification of the record, if it were self-defense this would not be in a sentencing phase. Its assault, plain and simple. That's why he was found guilty.

Your retort suggests that you equate a conviction for assault (a felony in many areas last I checked) with egregious poor judgement (i.e., Troy palming $500). That's not merely daft, its worse than insulting to the collective BP intelligence.

Your retort suggests that being out for a single season opening game -- because of assault -- is sufficient punishment for Allen, then challenge that we might have to gall to actually cheer for a young man like Troy Smith who:

-- was guilty of far less than Allen;
-- served a punishment in excess of that which Ferentz (presently) announces publicly will be applied to Allen, and;
-- served that punishment by being kept out of a Bowl Game against a Big 12 opponent (plus the season opener against Miami (OH)).

Your logic doesn't stink -- it is merely non-existent.

I accidentally gave you positive rep just now. Sandgk takes the words out of my mouth. No college athlete should ever be in a position to get in a fight, as your player was. He was convicted because he should have restrained himself. Period. Just as the Buckeyes kicked a very promising Ira Guilford off the team, if Ferentz had integrity he would have done the same.

You are most welcome here as an Iowa fan, but don't come over here and talk trash about Ohio State players and draw such slanderous comparisons, or I guarantee you that your stay here will be brief.

Uh, there's a huge difference between taking a one-time payment in order to pay a cell-phone bill, and breaking another person's jaw. If your boy is as innocent as you're trying to pawn him off as being, then why has he already been required to the 20 hours of community service and anger management, along with the upcoming 20 more? Get the fuck outta here...

I'm not talking trash about Ohio State or it's student athletes. When somebody refers to Coach Ferentz as a pussy, and questions Coach Ferentz' integrity how is that not slandering the Iowa program? It's ridiculous and uncalled for.

And the judge's great ruling as to why Allen's defense shouldn't be considered? Because he is a football player and should have known when to run.

With all due respect, when you make the reference you did to Troy Smith, you are very much talking trash about an Ohio State student athlete whose greatest mistake appears to have been to follow the advice of a friend who he thought walked on water, but we now know is drowning in misplaced expectations.

Years ago, I watched former Ohio State great Pete Johnson walk away from a bar fight. A guy with more alcohol in him than good judgement swung on Johnson and missed. Johnson could have put him away but he had the good sense to leave immediately and take his friends with him.

Sucker punched or not, Allen should have had the good sense to leave. Fights like this don't just materialize. He didn't have to stand up and swing. He made a bad choice and he should pay for it. It appears that the judge thinks he made the bad choice because he has some behavioral problems.

Let's make the first clear distinction. Troy Smith was not sent for psychological counseling because a judge thought he needed it. Allen was.

Iowa is getting lots of love in the media and so is your coach. In truth, there are more offenses at Iowa than Ohio State. The offenses are more serious, too. This was a decision in which Ferentz allowed his ethics to be dominated by his need to meet press expectations. He lacked the courage to teach your team the values it needs to learn.

As a result, Purity, there will be less purity in Iowa athletics. Sooner than you think, you will the same kind of sullen, angry team that Buckeye fans watched lose a bowl game to South Carolina.

You're right name calling is wrong. Let's just put the finger on the button and make the second distinction. Ferentz, like Spurrier and Alvarez, lacked the courage to do what he should have done and it is Iowa fans, not Buckeye fans, who are the poorer for it.

And that is why Iowa will not win a national championship this year and why Ohio State is in a position where it just might win one, after a two-year attack by the most powerful media powerhouse in sports. Character and honour cannot be bought, traded, or sold...these things must be earned.

And above we have the everlasting definition of the luckiest man on campus.

I just can't imagine anyone taking a swing at Pete, he was huge even in his Buckeye days.

Yep, really big. My memory is a bit foggy but we were sitting around at the old Scarlet and Gray on 14th one night and I think a mutual friend was altering a pair of pants for him because they were too tight on his thighs. Don't really remember, I just remember her asking me to jot down his thigh measurement and it was much bigger than my waist. I remember thinking that if he was running straight at me, I would rather leave town than tackle him.

And what an incredible gentleman as well. A first-class person with a degree of humility and appreciation for others that we all could learn from.

Purity,

All you need to do is take a little search and look at the incidents under Ferentz. Strangely these haven't been reported on espin and other outlets because, for whatever reason, the media seem to love your "little engine that could" football team.

The incidents have occured and Ferentz has either done very little, or plead ignorance to the situation. It's a fact.

Antwaan Allen was found guilty of assault. He is serving a one game suspension against a team that Allen really isn't needed against. I wonder if the punishment would have been the same if it was Ohio State week? Somehow I doubt it. Funny how he'll be back for Iowa's rivalry game against Iowa State. A one game suspension for assault? Think about it Purity.

Did Irizarry or Guilford do this kind of physical damage to anyone? What type of suspensions did they get?


Bottom line is that Iowa has more kids in trouble and for worse offenses than anything that has happend at OSU but because Ferentz is an ESPN favorite it just never gets mentioned.

JT has 2 players take illegal payments which gets his charachter assailed for the better part of 2 years and even has Iowa boy Trev call for his resignation on the air.

The hypocrisy knows no bounds.
