Aw man! I was hoping they were going to! Ugh!

That's what happens you take an entire year to prepare for Iowa. You have no clue what other teams are doing on defense/offense.

Great NFLers: Greenway just signed the biggest contract ever by an outside 4-3 linebacker, so he must be pretty good. You have guys like Greeene, Moeaki, and Koulianos who had that freakish good talent, but for different reasons never quite reached their potential (except Greene in his last...

I'll accept that. I wasn't trying to start an argument or prove any point other than the fact that we lost a ton of talent last year and that I'm proud the Hawks have the most active-roster rookies in the NFL this year. It is better than saying everyone needs to be fired and benched and I'm...

Dope smoking crack addict chemistry destroyers. Another question: how did those kids become NFL caliber players?

By my count there are 9 ex-Hawk rookies that are currently on 53-man active rosters in the NFL. Does any other school have that many? Is there a website that tracks that kind of thing? That is a ton of talent to replace. I don't think we realized how good some of those guys were when they were...

I don't know if this has been posted before, but Chad Greenway just signed an extension with the Vikings. Something like 5 years, $41 million. The highest paid 4-3 outside linebacker in NFL history. "That's a lot of feeder pigs. That's a lot of hours int he barn." Small-town guy earns a...

As a Vikings fan, I was already pleased with the direction Leslie Frazier was taking the team. Now, as a hawkeye-homer, I'm thrilled! And Frazier really showed that he has his head on straight when he cut that RB from ISU. (I kid, I kid.)

Farmgirl and Ppierce - you're totally missing the point. It wasn't an "article" or a tweet or anything like that. This is ESPN's position by position, player by player scouting report. I'm not saying Sash is necessarily better than the 4 or 5 guys rated ahead of him. What I am pointing out is...

I first started to see the light of how idiotic the ESPN draft "gurus" can be (at least the "scouts" end of it) when they were salivating over Jake Locker throughout his horrible season and his horrendous senior bowl. This confirms it: every safety that is rated well above Sash has the...

latrans - you sound awfully guilty!

Here's a link to the article I mentioned. Albert Haynesworth had this last offseason when he was fat and out of shape and Shannahan made him do a few drills. The writer, Mike Florio, got this condition after running 5 miles on a hot day: Report: Haynesworth likely has rhabdomyolysis |...

Anyone can get this illness, it is rarely drug related. If any of you has a stronger will than body, you can get it. Most don't care to push their exercise that hard. I think I first heard of this illness on ProFootballTalk.com when Mike Florio was commenting on an athlete who got it. He said he...

I think you all have the right sentiment here, but your theology/philosophy could use some refining. Philosophically and linguistically, God would not be God if He wasn't in control (through primary and secondary causation) of EVERY little thing in the universe. If He wasn't in control of...

I didn't catch that one, but there was so much that this horrid officiating crew missed in this game. It was unbelievable. I'm just awe-struck that they got the incomplete pass right on the official review on Mizzou's last drive.

Knowing Sash's family a little bit, I doubt there is any hardship or hatred of school. I think he'll be back. Real solid family. I'd be surprised if he did leave before graduating. Which brings up an interesting question - will he be done with school this spring? He did redshirt one year, didn't he?

Collegefootballtalk.com said that the condition is that Wegher cannot play at a Big Ten school in 2011. After that, he can go to Nebraska. But he will already be 4 years removed from high school, and possibly out of football entirely for 2 full years.

Maybe DJK's behavior was detrimental to team moral or practices and we possibly would have won more games without him? Who knows?

Knowing that K'Okeefe ran the spread before coming to Iowa, I'm beginning to wonder if he is just a fish out of water trying to run KF's offense. If he leaves for a HC job, KF needs to find someone who has been running the Iowa offense well elsewhere. I understand the loyalty aspect of hiring...

Through primary and secondary causation, God controls everything in the world, down to whether or not a players shoelace comes untied. If anything were not in His control, He would cease to be God, and would only be one god among many. That is not to say God "pulls for the Hawks" or for the...
