Not a fan of David Eickholt. He's a **** stirrer for the sake of traffic and clicks. He did the same thing trying to play a victim tweeting about how Nebraska fans allegedly telling him to eff off in Omaha for wearing Iowa gear before deleting it after getting called out. Pushed anti Mo Washington stuff before deleting it after being called out. Is what He's reporting now legit? Maybe, maybe not, but nameless messages like in the tweet can easily be fake and it's not journalism. No different than when the Iowa player tried to call out a nameless husker o-lineman for saying racist things during the game, even though we had black o-lineman too and the claim made no sense. It's gutless and is just trying to get a rise from people when it'd be better to leave it alone to be handled internally

Certain people take sports far too seriously. When they join the real world they may then understand what is truly important in life. Hint, it isn’t making a damned free throw.

I automatically am skeptical of people who say we need to “be better.” Corny phrase used by the self-righteous that has no practical purpose because the douches who threaten kids on Twitter aren’t going to say, “You know what, I do need to be better!”

That said, I’m sure people probably did threaten the kid because that stuff happens all the time in sports, which is obviously unfortunate.

Yep. If someone did, in fact, harass this kid, THAT IDIOT needs to "be better".

It is not evidence that "every fan needs to be better" (contrary to the claim in the original tweet)

Note the player is black. If he was white I doubt this happens in Iowa. FBI should immediately get involved to investigate hate crimes and civil rights violations.

A few crackpots are going to do this kind of crap, and it's obviously not unique to Iowa. But Toussaint has the added disadvantage of gradually taking playing time away from fan favorite Jordy Hairdo.

Imagine living in Iowa and your happiness in life depends on the success or failure of 19 year olds at sports. Brutal.

anyone who associates in any way w iowa deserves what they get

it is not news that iowa is a dump filled with subhuman inbreds
Seriously dude your constant narrative of Iowa people is old and tired . If you think for one second there isn’t just as many racist ignorant hicks in Nebraska you’re sorely mistaken. Get a grip. Here’s another newsflash for ya ... racism is everywhere, even in that hick state of Nebraska

Why do McConnell & many Rep Senators refuse to fund increased stimulus checks? They lined up quick to pass a huge tax cut to the wealthiest. If those dopes would have gotten a stimulus package thru before the election, Trump might have won & the R’s coulda taken back the House. What a country.

Iowa more racist than Neb. Steve King & Joni Ernst just straight up Klan. Our Reps are just dumb.

Thanks for reading. Always nice to have a fan, even if it’s a subhuman inbred iowan.

Boy, Iowa is really in your heads! Once in your head, Iowa owns you!
You are not winners anymore. You lose at everything but volleyball (wow!), and probably will for quite awhile. Now that I think of it, Minnesota is in your head, Purdue is in your heads, everybody is in you4 heads! 2021 will be no different, admit it.

Interesting thing to post on a Nebraska message board....

Does the hog farm you squat on submit obits? Or will you just be folded unceremoniously into the slop?

Either way, you, like every other iowa fan, won’t be missed after being found pants down, belt tightened, all bloated and blue in your corner of the pen.
