    WATCH: All Spring Practice Live Scrimmage Reps

    I agree with you as two or three of Petras's throws were really high due to whatever, pressure around him which was hard to see with the low camera angle, some bad footwork or what. But Petras needs to keep those throws down. One was a missed TD in the back of the endzone. Padilla looked...

    WATCH: All Spring Practice Live Scrimmage Reps

    Labas looked comfortable and natural. He put the ball on the numbers most of the time. He was under center all the time I believe. He is not a speedster but mobile, and probably mobile enough.

    WATCH: All Spring Practice Live Scrimmage Reps

    Padilla looked pretty good. Petras had some good passes and all three of his long balls might have been complete to a receiver like Keegan who seems to have the ability to high point a ball as the throws were close to the receiver. But I think it was the 2nd pass to GWilliams to the left about...

    Post Open Spring Practice HN Content

    Could it be that Petras has the arm but just gets more flustered than other qbs under pressure and he has reached more of the mental limit. I have observed that both Stanley and Petras have not seen some wide open receivers. I put that down to a qb who just doesnt 'see' the pass plays in their...

    Who went to spring scrimmage and what are the big news items

    I read that article and it seems that Petras has sort of looked the best overall for the whole spring but didnt have a super last saturday. Chad L. said Labas and Padilla looked pretty good Saturday. So overall it seems we have Petras is #1A, Padilla is #1B, and Labas is #2 with only his grasp...

    Who went to spring scrimmage and what are the big news items

    On another forum people were saying Labas and Padilla were going against the 2nd and 3rd defense while Petras was going against the 1's and 2's. It will be interesting to hear what people say who were there.

    Who went to spring scrimmage and what are the big news items

    How did the OLine and qbs look? Running backs looking explosive? Especially how was the passing game? Were routes simpler yet better? Defense has such an emotional element to it that it is hard to judge anything on that side of the ball when they really are not flying around and crushing people.

    Why do the republicans/conservatives have this love for Putin and Russia???

    Below is a good example of the way some people look at the situation of kids and families in the US suffering from wanton neglect and shortage of available food, housing, healthcare and other items for them. I read about some religious women, nuns, former nuns, who decry the actions of so many...

    Why do the republicans/conservatives have this love for Putin and Russia???

    Plus, governments can exact use taxes very easily with tolls, online transaction taxes, sell off some of their many many buildings, etc to raise money.

    Why do the republicans/conservatives have this love for Putin and Russia???

    Oh build the strawman as controlling the deficit is a totally different problem, animal, etc than getting food and healthcare to kids that need it and whose parents cant pay for it. Keep propping up the strawman in the field. And of course, you and so many people fall head first over your...

    Howe: Iowa Needs to Pick Up Pace in NIL Race

    This NIL process got way out of control really fast as once again the humans in charge overreacted and put in a system without having a long what-if thought process of what direction it might take. Let's go back in time just a short while ago, student athletes were threatening to sue the NCAA...

    Why do the republicans/conservatives have this love for Putin and Russia???

    Wow, your post is so well said. Thanks as that is it exactly. If you just think about it logically and rationally, there is way more than enough wealth in this country so that kids do not need to worry about being hungry and where their next meal is coming from and for all kids and people to...

    Pre-season SI top 25 with Minny in it.

    That was a surprise to me but the report said TMorgan back at qb where I thought he was done, you know, the bald head, the wrinkles. But no Morgan is back, Ibrahim is back I think but we will see if he is 100%. The article said Minny as tons of experience but I thought they were losing 4 of 5...

    Was Jon Budmayr unable to find a paid position or what is in it with his stop at Iowa?

    I thought someone on this forum or elsewhere said he made about $300,000 a year at CSU. Was he there for only the one year? Did CSU give him an exit the door deal? Anyway, not sure if he is married but if he is then she may have made some good bucks. So, very possible he could make it as a...

    Tyrese Hunter In The Portal

    And that is really a bad system to look forward to. We currently have basically a tiered system in top level ncaa football with the P5 power conferences as the top tier followed by the rest of the other 50-70 FBS? teams. Yet inside the P5 there are a top 10 'usual suspects' teams who are the...

    Billy Taylor leaving

    The new hire should be a guy who knows the nuances of playing defense and perhaps rebounding who is a really good teacher who can impart this info for to fix some of the footwork, eye work maybe focusing on opponent waist areas as good old Dolph Pulliam would do and say "the player can only go...

    Was Jon Budmayr unable to find a paid position or what is in it with his stop at Iowa?

    I just watched a youtube video of some sports talk show guys talking about the curious situation of Budmayr coming onto Kirk's staff as unpaid volunteer. Any of you have inside info as to this being a 1 year QB whisperer type of situation to help the qbs and Brian? Did Budmayr not have a paid...

    Covid-19 and Type 1 diabetes in those 18 and younger

    Our grandson was was around 5 or just turning 5 years old. I am not sure about average age when type 1 is contracted but it could be at a lot of ages based on when a child or adolescent catches something that really activates their immune system to attack the pancreas. Oh he is doing fine...

    Kris Entering The Draft

    Like someone said, if an nba team or scout says they will take you with and give you $5 million guaranteed , then maybe he goes. But I dont think nba teams can or will promise a player 100% after draft workouts that they will draft them into such an offer.
