@trav2117 @clonesrising Former players hate ISU? You mean Purdy...who still comes back for visits? Haliburton, who still attends games and donates to NIL. Maybe you mean George Niang, who visits Ames anytime he can. Or maybe you mean Ben Bruns, Seneca Wallace, Sage Rosenfels. 🤡 comment

@austinnarber I personally would like to see Penn State fall flat on their face.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@SquirrelMurray He would have been a back-up in Ames also...he just saw the writing on the wall.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@ZmillaTLK_ @CoachBobbit Its going to take a deep checkbook more than likely. Same kid that is visiting Indiana, correct? You know they are going to pay...

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@bartstarrfan @CycloneCardinal I said the exact same thing...MANY of these guys have played their last collegiate down and many of them are being given bad info by agents you deserve more playing time, more NIL money, more exposure. Thats all fine, but most are giving up a roster spot to not find a new one.

@HawkGuyEnjoyer @BurburijaAndy @CoachAaronTerry @CoachStrohmeier @BlackbournMike @JUCOFFrenzy @CycloneFB $13 million in football NIL to start...Plenty of bags for athletes to come in and keep beating the Hawkeyes...in everything. We even have wrestling covered now 😆😆

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

Just because you enter the transfer portal does not mean you are automatically getting picked up some place else. Some of you guys should really think before you go giving up a scholarship and NIL. Especially guys with less than 2 years eligibility or coming off injury. #BELOYAL

[Heavens! @HeavensFX]

last one outta Ames hit the lights wouldja

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@IowaDOP You guys couldn't score 70 points with Tom Brady at quarterback. Now if you come with the "we will shut you out and kick 6 field goals," thats believable.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@NoelJaylin13 I guess my biggest question here is when did a free college education not become good enough? Now that the fans are the ones "writing the checks" so to speak, athletes cant be upset with the fans that are "paying them."

Wish I could tell all these kids in the portal that when they’re 40 all they’ll have left is the memories with their teammates and a place to go back to in the fall. #CycloneFamily

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@jeremiah1cooper Unfortunately when you all became paid athletes, you work for the fans and the university...you dont get to have it both ways. Dislike the fans opinions...dont take NIL...pretty simple really.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@sekrah He's going home...Central Florida, Florida, South Florida.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@analyst4sports_ I think it's funny that he will end up in Lincoln and be dog-walking the Hawks for the next 4 years.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@TopTierIowaSt Raynor will come with the new coach, and Manske will end up in Lincoln...poor guy.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@cyclonefanatic Doesn't wanna compete with Raynor, who will be in Ames next week. I dont blame him...I wouldnt wanna compete with a 9k yard uy either. Go be great at Nebraska.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@IowaStateNation All this tells me is that Manske doesn't wanna compete with Raynor who will be transferring in from Ark. State.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

I will take Moberly, Overby and Konrardy to start. All of the rest are sellouts...enough with the "Always A Cyclone." You are only a Cyclone if you finish your career in Ames.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@benbruns Especially when the letters are to gain attention from other schools. It has nothing to do with wanting to say good bye to coaches, teammates and fans.

[Craig Cooper @CraigCooper79]

@DailyLoud Thats not a fight...it's the pit bull dropping the hammer on some loud mouth little punks. F**k around and find out is his mantra.
