That Willie talked to an Iowa donor about this shows everything that's wrong with Iowa's program. And Willie can't bad mouth the donor or he loses access to the person that's really running the program. There's a reason Willie was so slow to answer as he had to think of how to not piss someone off.

couldn't watch- am work meeting / thanks for the update and info he wanted flights / sometimes you don't get everything you want -that is life as far as a coach telling a parent don't tell me how to run my program - zero issue with that you're a parent Bill / don't be the next Shane Chittum

Omg. If he were Muslim the wingers would be all over this like a pit bull on the pant leg of opportunity. The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven!!

If you say so bro. My experience has been that he does this often, even when trying to communicate something fairly basic or benign. Granted, I tuned out of "The First Word" awhile back so I don't see every show he's on, but I do listen to most of Basch and the "Brain"

As long as it isn't the 'O' face we're all good.

Yeah good summary. A quote used was “he wasn’t feeling the love.”

Probably Bill, not Bo.

He's thinking about what goofy face he's going to make for the YouTube thumbnail. At least it's thought-out. Justin just makes the same generic grin every time and tries to pass it off as authentic.

...for some of us, maybe.

It's because Willie knows more than what he's saying and he is trying to find the words that will let him walk the finest of lines. He does this often in these scenarios and it is purely because he wants to give us, the fans, the most information possible without crossing any lines.

Then stop spit-sucking and mouth-breathing?

Yeah. Lots of pauses and word finding difficulty

The spit-sucking and mouth-breathing makes it unlistenable.

I'm watching this and does anyone else feel it takes Willie a really long time to get his thoughts out? I want to increase the speed of the podcast to like 1.5x here, it's killing me...

In response to this and other common comments. First off, updates are appreciated, please make sure they are vetted and aren't from the guy on the X with 4 followers. It is common to be curious how this happened. Ben was seemingly a healthy 40 year old high level athlete. This is scary for any of those in that range that may or may not live as healthy of a life as he does. Tragedies such as this could raise awareness about conditions that could affect many of us. Speculation is common and hopefully we will find out more with the hopes of helping someone that could be in a similar situation. Helpful dialogue translating medical talk is good and helps to educate that dispel half-truths and rumors about Ben's condition.

But, PLEASE do not start posting like he does...one poster who only writes endless overly wordy posts is enough

"Oklahoma" is not hard to spell.

Christianity has NOT caused millions of deaths. Severe mentally skewed interpretations and mental gymnastics, and/or plain mental delusion has caused millions of deaths. Trying to label the deaths into a category is lazy and serves absolutely no purpose other than to make someone feel all warm and fuzzy because they can point their finger at something and say "SEE! SEE!" Again, in this case calling him an "extremist Christian" is no more relevant that describing the type of vehicle the person rolled up in.

But GWN would do it perfect!

The B is for "bargain".

Where did they go to HS haha thought a local might catch the pun. I'm in the city proud survivor of 16 tours of duty in the Chiraq warzone and counting

We found so much fraud and savings as a,result that National deficit is skyrocketing way beyond Biden levels.

now do recent history

It sounds like that was part of it unless I am miss interpreting and he was not allowed to train at the RTC because of compliance but that does not make sense.
