So much do I agree with this. I was not even that upset about the loss, considering we kept it under 30. I was expecting a 40+ point beat down. I'd have to go back and look, but 77 points is probably the 2nd or 3rd most points we scored all year.

Has there ever been a player who is more of a living embodiment of the Hawkeye fan base than Jorbo? I would contend that Jorbo lacks true trolling skills. He is like the kid who pulls a prank on someone but is the only one who thinks it's funny. Now, arrogance and dooshery? He's got that in spades!!
Listen, I get what you are saying. But calling him a "college guy" is a bit comical. At 23, he's a big boy now.
You don't pull the crap he has done over the years and expect rivals to respond with butterflies and unicorns. If you are an attention-seeking ***** who pokes the bull, you're gonna get the horns. Also, he may act like a tweenager, but age-wise he is an adult - I think he can handle it.
So, I will gladly carry on - and thank you for your permission (jimlad).
I haven't followed this thread too closely, most of what I know about the ongoing Bohannon psychodrama is through tweets or headlines that I read. But I wrote this quoted post about a month ago and I think I actually underestimated how pathetic this all is.
Nobody fears him as a basketball player. Nobody thinks he's smart or funny or engaging enough to be the troll that he thinks he is. His teams have accomplished exactly nothing of significance. His own fans seem lukewarm at best about having him back. He seems weirdly driven by owning a team coming off its worst season in history.
I'm not sure I've ever seen someone so desperate to cling to their 15 minutes.
He mentioned that he wasn't doing any classwork so I'm not sure if he would be considered much of a college guy.
Very well said. He's basically the living embodiment of a Chris Farley skit of a college wannabe. Somebody that knows deep down they aren't legit in the game as-is, but will be nothing more than JoShmo once he finally is forced to move into the real world.
I give it 5 years before JorBo is running a bar in downtown Iowa City.
I think that JBo has completely destroyed any credibility that he had in regards to NIL and would do more harm than good if he stays associated with it. He just voluntarily chose to accept the current compensation for playing college basketball. Not that he probably had a choice, but the reality of the situation is that, to most players, getting to go to college for free with a stipend on top in exchange for playing basketball is a pretty good deal.
If he is taking an actual limited roll and just continuing to play for the hell of it. I am all in.
He is on par or better than Gabe Kalsheur
Yea, no. And if you think JBo came back to a bad Iowa team in a limited role, you’re insane.
I think he’s a better top to bottom player than Bohannon, yes. I think and know Jordan is a better 3 point shooter.
You think he'll take less minutes with no Joe W or CJ?
A post of mine from the season:
You may want to look into assists, rebounding, and turnovers and FG percentages. They are similar in all with Bohannon being better in A/TO by a wide margin.
