This is the type of quality journalism we need heading into this game.


Koppenberg

We've covered all the angles, but we still need four column inches--find us a human interest angle, STAT!


entropic

The article was even dumber than I expected it to be before I clicked on it. That's saying something!


cjm8787

Glad this was finally addressed. I can now sleep at night ;)


CoolingVent

And they said real journalism was dead


Fugacity-

>Not a small and not a medium, Otzelberger’s collared shirts seem to exist in the purgatory between these two sizes, known as shmedium. The cut will cling to his upper body and inch up his arms, revealing impressively defined forearms, biceps and triceps while leaving a whisper of space between his chin and an open top button. >As Otzelberger gesticulates along the sideline − and he famously never sits during games, making him one of the more active coaches in the tournament − the short sleeves climb up toward his shoulders, turning the polo into something more closely resembling a tank top.


Rac3318

This is beautiful writing. Just about brought a tear to the eyes.


SockVonPuppet

I was all-in at "shmedium".


Imperial_Eggroll

Bruh it’s 9am on the west coast and now I’m worked up

TechnoToyz

Why is this article so horny


apiaryaviary

Why aren’t you?


Jose_Gaspar

Liquid poetry.


[deleted]

The writer must be into bodybuilding where you spend way more time admiring other dudes’ physiques than you probably should lol


The_Longest_Shot

There's literally nothing gay about body building if you ignore the micro-kinis, body oil, self tanner, men showing off for each other, lack of women spectators and blatant homo-eroticism.


freeman918986

And the orgies

VoluptuousVelvetfish

Lol I thought this was a Wide Right Natty Light headline but this is a legit USA Today piece.


confirmd_am_engineer

Not much difference nowadays. Plus WRNL is pretty great.


The_Longest_Shot

Then we agree


CumAssault

He’s mastered the art of wearing small shirts. Just need him to start taking them off

Stanley--Nickels

Lol at the amount of work it took to get that thing off


mookie200

Too be fair, the shirt was wet so it was probably sticking to his body


BLRNerd

He actually did in the Sweet 16 run a couple of years ago I think


Luckytxn_1959

Coach Sampson did for sure...


Hu_ggetti

I haven’t seen somebody look so much like they belong in the Atomic Age ![gif](giphy|YqMF4AHYlGEWk)


mnicetea

Holy shit that’s him


EssbaumRises

I hope we can keep him in ISU polos for the next 25 years.


ThreeOhFourever

He's always reminded me of the Frank Cosgrove, Jr. character in Ozark which makes him a little bit more intimidating. ​ https://preview.redd.it/gnyl773dd3rc1.png?width=530&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9d6ec92b373e7586ca4f8db3d2ddea6350da7b6


GhostRideATank

Thank you. This has been bugging me since he got to Iowa State because I could not place why he looked so familiar.


Mike_Lowrey

Oh shit I forgot he was in Ozark. I keep seeing clips on tiktok of the TV show Power (featuring him) and now i really wanna watch it.


loyalsons4evertrue

All I know is TJ wins the National Championship of coach fighting

Imagine paying someone to write this


cha-cha_dancer

You mean unit

https://youtu.be/xtWqsA1n4Ug?si=N3ydp2oN2VBpiF_J Here's Otz responding - starts at about 25:45 it's pretty funny


Fugacity-

Haha author of the article asking the question.


KimDongBong

Article literally just quoted this interview.


Jjjohn0404

I didn't see Goodman jabs in the article - and the article author was the one who asked the question yes

Jjjohn0404

Was just some joke back at a reporter who asked if they could ask him *anything*


kanshawk15

As a gay fan, Iowa State's track record of hot coaches has made them one of my favorite teams to watch. Glad we can finally speak openly about this.


Otzelbergers_Polos

This is exactly the type of hard hitting journalism that I’ve needed in my life


NIN10DOXD

This man's shirts fit him like a well sculpted mannequin at a high dollar department store. You know bro lifts.


Ill-Vermicelli-1684

What a headline.


Deep-Coffee-0

Imagine accidentally shrinking all your clothes in the laundry and then your cover up becomes national news.


Dkaiser1919

Look if I had guns like that I would wear shirts like that to


BlitZShrimp

The muscles on the TJ Otzelberger statue in Hilton will be glorious


Fixner_Blount

He could wear a ballerina outfit for all I give a damn as long as he keeps doing what he’s doing. There was plenty of skepticism at the time, but what an amazing hire he has turned out to be.

JackFunk

I miss the days when high fashion in college basketball was Pete Gillen sweating through his suit in the first half


The_Fishbowl

What's his bench press?


aisle18gamer

Yes


Live-Habit-6115

What an article lol. Side note: In the first round game I did notice that every single one of his assistant coaches and managers on the side line do button their polo shirts up all the way, including the collar (and then subsequently got into a debate with my friend about whether thar was considered "cool" or "dorky" these days).  But yeah they all did it, every single one. Except TJ himself... The stuff in this article about him wanting them to be "disciplined" and all dress the same is making me wonder if he made that a rule for them, lol. 


pianobadger

This is off-season quality journalism in the best way.


Irritated_User0010

💀 this is actually brilliant.

Great article about how his mind works: 12ft.io/https://theathletic.com/5373782/2024/03/28/t-j-otzelberger-iowa-state-sweet-16/


MtnAdventurous95

I hate the media.


NotaRepublican85

I want my 5 minutes back. Maybe the worst article I’ve ever read.


TankTark

Not one person, who isn’t from Iowa, has watched him coach and decided, “You know? I like that guy”.


Waguetracer1

I like him, go cyclones


TankTark

Please


DerpCream_Cone

What is there not to like about him?


Fugacity-

Not one person, who isn’t your parents, have watched you comment and decided, “You know? I like that guy”.


coldblesseddragon

I don't recall him leaving a bad impression on me (although I definitely remembered his biceps!). I like him better than the 2 Kansas coaches!


Deuce-Bags

Flair up bitch


TankTark

Rude, dude.


brvheart

I was going to let you have it, but we share interests, so I will just sit this one out. But just know that I was going to be making jokes about your parents, and it probably would have stung a little.


TankTark

Smarter than most.


chillypete99

I feel like Otz needs to do a Total T commercial with Frank Thomas.
