The showing by the fans and coaches in Iowa City in 2021 was clearly not up to standard, but let’s not allow the obvious deficits of our opponents dictate our ethics and sportsmanship.

For me the irony is that I always admired Ferentz. His smelling a rat statement and the fact that he tolerated an assistant to roll around on the sidelines put him in the scumbag hall of fame. I agree that PSU Fans should take the high road should there be an Iowa injury. I hope KF gets what's coming to him in the final score.
Agree to disagree In this instance.

Just to be clear: Ferentz and his staff deserve every boo and jeer they receive this weekend. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to stoop to the level of booing injured players (& I hope you — and most Penn Staters — feel the same).
Lowering yourself to the lowest standard isn't classy, and I remember an old Italian coach who wouldn't have tolerated it.
We shouldn't either.
We shouldn't either.
Remember when that old Coach had his leg broken on the sideline collision back in 2006?
Iowa fans are scuzzbuckets Trolling now on the Buchignani post on X and revisiting the old pedophile tropes. I wanna do scorched earth on ‘em’.
I totally smell a rat.
Wait a sec . . . Never mind. The dog farted.

I wouldn’t boo because they player doesn’t deserve it. But I won’t hold it against anyone who boos. And the Iowa coaching staff deserves payback.
Yeah. Years later the Wisconsin player admitted to doing it on purpose.Remember when that old Coach had his leg broken on the sideline collision back in 2006?
Wanna see their entire fan base in this state Saturday night
If you wave all is forgiven.
If you zoom out far enough, everything means zero. Doesn't mean anything is acceptable.
I also won't take out on some kid my disdain for certain fans or coaches of their school who made fools of their classless selves. No more than I would expect other fanbases to hold against me things done by a certain former coach at Penn State.
Maybe those sitting behind the Iowa bench can print some betting slips at home and share them with the players on the sideline.
Okay, I went a little too far. Still, hate Iowa and their fans and their coaches. Worst fanbase to ever grace our boards. Turds.
I liken Iowa fans to that person you get into an argument with about something, and the second you go "up 1" in the argument, their response is "well, you're fat!" or "well, you're stupid!"... they're classless. trash people. Their coaches (and I lump Ferentz and the Brands Brothers together) are ridiculous humans. Ferentz, although he's been coaching for years has the mental acuity of a 5 year old. Never mind some those injured players in 21 were out for multiple games and who in their right mind would fake injuries to slow down the Iowa offense???? but no, his goldfish brain can't think past 5 seconds. The Brands Brothers (I always take any opportunity to dog them) are those bullies from high school that grew up to be a police officer, smattered with a dash of Uncle Rico. I hate Iowa. I hate their fans. I hate their coaches. And no, waving at kids won't change that. You can't be a garbage human being but atone for it by donating to charity or helping an old lady across the street.
HOWEVER
I respect their players. Everything I feel about the coaches and fans, I would never boo an injured player.
But I won't blame people that will.....

I would rather Franklin run up the score, love to see a 40 yard TD pass with under a minute left already up 40+
I was at the ‘09 iowa white out game. It rained, and we crapped the bed. 
Anyway, walking to the stadium, some PSU students yelled a bunch of sh|t at some iowa athletic supporters. Many Penn Staters in the area yelled at the students to knock it off. Some of them also apologized to the iowa athletic supporters on behalf of the stupid students.

Then when Ferentz undoubtedly looks across the field at CJF with displeasure, CJF starts sniffing the air as if he's smelling a rat then wiggling his nose.....
MAN, Iowa brings out the child in me.....
I also posted this on the other board
Of course there will be booing. People hoping our fans won't respond in kind is wishful thinking. Iowa fans want to hear booing and catcalls so it can be said, "see, I told you they are scum!". People, this is college football and you're going to hear some boos, probably loud enough to be picked up by the broadcast. The Iowa situation will likely be brought up in pregame or during the game
I was there too… the rain and our crapping of the bed are both bitter memories. We were lucky enough to get hold of some unused trash bags from the nearest refreshment stand to fashion them into parkas… boy did we need them.I was at the ‘09 iowa white out game. It rained, and we crapped the bed.
I also admired Coach Ferentz, so did Joe.
Maybe Nancy Sinatra can surmise a game plan for KF and team.
And walk all over You....
It was days later where he made his comments. I could see heat of the moment. But they won so why say anything. But he felt he needed to needle us for the future. See we are all focused on it and you know players and coaches are thinking about it as well. The students will be relentless
Didn't Joel Klatt even suggest he smelled a rat?
I recall him saying something, followed by silence from Gus.

Well, according to Iowa fans, they weren’t booing the players, they were booing Franklin, so there you go. Turnabout is fair play.
