What an absolute chode. The guy has no loyalty to anyone but himself and will throw anyone and everyone under the bus in a heart beat. I guess blaming everyone else though is much easier then admitting publicly that he was offered his dream job by a delusional program/fanbase that absolutely...

I'd love to see great things from Gronowski, but I'm sorry that I just couldn't put "Heisman contender" and "Iowa QB" in the same article, let alone sentence.

Very good point.

The joys of seeing delusional conference homerism at it's finest is the fact that these idiots really believe this to be true and then when it doesn't pan out it's priceless to see "they simply didn't get up for the game" or searching for any excuses they can find.

My opinion is that based on the new landscape recruiting means absolutely nothing until the transfer portal is finalized and players are on campus. I like what I see in terms of the high school players were bringing in, but it's a whole different ballgame now and what we look like on paper and...

I have major issues regarding when a team schedules cupcakes. I don't disagree with you at all that "a cupcake is just as cupcakey in November as it is August", but the stakes are much higher in November then they are in August. You're generally not going to be losing to a cupcake (by...

I would guess they mean returning to the college game and not going to the pros.

My biggest issue with the SEC isn't necessarily the scheduling of the cupcakes, but rather the timing of the games. Absolutely no reason that any team should be scheduling cupcakes in the final 3rd of the season or after they've already got 9 or 10 games under their belt. I agree that it would...

I'm with you and am ok with cupcakes for a number of reasons. I completely agree that cash games are great for smaller schools budgets and needed for their survival. I also agree that while everyone (fans and rivals) calls out scheduling cupcakes 90% of the teams are doing it, so it's not that...

lots of early season night games. Not necessarily a bad thing cause it's generally unbearably hot that time of year, but shocked based on some of the opponents.

As a coach myself of multiple age groups I've realized that while it is our job to be role models and try to mold them into young adults and "good people" the amount of time we have with them fails in comparison to the time they are away from us and if their parents, or the crowd they run with...

Kind of a deceptive title to the list considering some are not what I'd call "returning". Not sure how a transfer and fits into the returning category, but I like where he's sitting.

I'd love to claim him as one of our own, but even for an Iowa guy I see him as just another player. Don't wish him ill will or anything like that, but not excited for him like I would be most local players or former Hawkeyes.

Definitely sad. Crazy how quickly things can change in the blink of an eye. Cherish every second.

Doesn't bother me the slightest. Ben's program. Ben calls the shots. It didn't bother me that he didn't bring Gatens on to his staff and it doesn't bother me that he's bringing on his son. We also just naturally assume that bringing on his son means he'd be favored over others day one...
