Honest question about Mahomes Jr. from an Iowa fan

[ButtersHawk]

I'm not trying to rile up anything and I mean this with full sincerity but do you guys find it cringey and weird?

I get maybe liking or idolizing a player and wanting to wear his/her # or something but the full blown copy and paste attempt by Raiola is weird. Do you guys look at it as a who cares as long as he wins type deal or do you guys also find it cringey like the rest of America?

Also the 2 polar bears you guys have at DT are studs

I think he’s a kid trying to be the best player he can be. I find adults of opposing teams (really just Iowa) obsession with him cringey and weird.

 

[HuskerMania257460]

I feel like it’s been made into a way bigger deal than it was.

Really I can only think of the one pregame warmup where he mimicked Mahomes and the media ran with it. The other things have just been football plays or regular celebrations

 

[Husker4real]

Mahomes and Raiola also know each other and Mahomes said he is totally cool with it. Hopefully that helps you cringe a little less.

I find Iowa fans still hanging around this forum to be cringey and weird.

Whatever trips your trigger Hawkeye.

I wore 13 my entire career because of Dan Marino. And I didn't even play QB.

Nice win. Now go back to paying Ferentz $8M a year in hopes of a meaningful season.

 

[phoenix4nu]

What about Iowa’s full blown copy and paste of the Steelers’ uniforms. That is cringy and weird as hell.

How bout the little finger wag he was pulling after plays, calling for the huddle?
That's Mahomes to a T. It borders on obsession man. It's creepy.

Keep obsessing over a teenager on another football team. Nothing creepy about that……..

no obsession at all. Just an observation that is pretty much spot on

So you really have a problem with that, he is trying to get the plays called in to him..
Fvck your bold posts loser..

I knew it would only be a matter of time before you showed up Scarlet. You never disappoint.

You seem pretty obsessed and it is downright creepy.

Matt Rhule is making $8.5M next year despite never beating Iowa with a 12-12 record.

Enjoy another game of us handing it over to the crippled step child.

I think he's a loser punk who welched on his commitment......but ya, your word is an Iowa thing..........

You also seem oddly obsessed with this teenager. Not a good look.

I am not a fan. Be your own man. Being a lesser version of someone is not something to aspire to.

"Teenager?" Do you know this teenager is old enough to be a combat Marine in Afghanistan or Iraq.......but yes....play it like he's a child!!

Yep, still creepy as hell. Maybe step away from the keyboard.

Cool story.

We can afford to fire Rhule if we wanted.

Iowa can't afford to fire Ferentz. Even if you had the balls to do it the guys on the radar would be high school coaches and names nobody has ever heard of.

I dare you to fire Ferentz.

As creepy as rushing the field over beating a trash outfit like WI??!!

Seems to bother only Iowa. No other team has said a thing. Now if it were a grown man obsessing over a kid, that would be creepy. Sorry if that made you feel creepy.

What is it about Iowa fans, that makes them want to pick everyone apart, and run them down. On your board, you call Nebraska fans arrogant and obnoxious. The thing is, you're group is the opitimy of that daily on that board and when coming here.

Gawd you MF'ers are stupid people! No wonder half your state is blue!!

No. Celebrating a win is not creepy, obsessing over how a college kids walks and talks is super creepy. Hope that helps. Now seek help.

I find it more cringy and weird an obese iowa fan is obsessed with a kid and posts about it on the Nebraska board

 

[JRich52806]

If he wasn't playing for Nebraska, I am sure most Nebraska fans would admit that it is little over the top and strange. I have actually seen some on here discussing how they feel this way about it. But if you are asking as an Iowa fan (especially a day after losing to Iowa, you aren't going to get an honest answer).

Personally I think it's weird. Never really seen it happen before to this level of outright copying someone from looks to behavior. If anyone knows of any precedent on this, please share.

I would think it would serve him better, in his career and life, to be his own person and try to make a name for himself instead of trying to ride the coattails of someone else's life.

He is a freshman, this has been a tough season for him. Will he get better or be the next Adrian Martinez? We will see.

 

[wkato]

You don't get it. It wasn't beating Wisconsin as much as it was shaking the bowl curse. Next year we'll break the Iowa curse and probably rush the field again. That will be for beating a trash outfit like Iowa!!

He’s probably Iowa’s version of Jerry Sandusky

Definitely giving off pedo vibes.

Did Mahomes ever play in Detroit?

Peters brothers?

True.

I'm trying to figure out how many asses we need to kick in Omaha and Lincoln.

I really don't give a crap who copies who. Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things. Why is it creepy? We all have idles of some sort and attempt to take on characteristics because that's what we do.

Peters brothers?

No, he's 18 and has a hell of a role model. Haters gonna hate.

More than 1 person said something about that particular tick he has with his left hand. It's bizarre and one can hope he grows into his own self the next few years
