    Hawks Minny Game Day Thread (official)

    Who posted the pick of Swiss cheese earlier to describe Minnesota's D? To be fair that more than describes the Hawkeye D, good Lord can teams run up the middle on us this year! Remember (just 2 years ago) when the middle was the teeth of our D, a chainsaw?

    2012 Schedule...Not looking ahead

    I think that schedule is VERY favorable, the only two losses I see are at MSU and at Michigan. 10-2 regular season record would be all right. If the D improves next year and it's hard to imagine it won't then beating both Michigan schools isn't crazy. Next year's team will have a chance to make...

    If AJ Derby plays Saturday, which side of the ball?

    Also, coach Sabers at City High likes to use a 2 LB, 3 safety D, which was the D AJ Derby played in high school, he would have likely played both safety and LB, though his high school accolades were for his play at LB, so Homer in a way we are both right (but I feel more righteous, haha)

    If AJ Derby plays Saturday, which side of the ball?

    Excuse me, the second part of my previous post was directed at GoHawks24, not Hawkeyefan. Apologies to any hawkeye fans that I may have offended

    If AJ Derby plays Saturday, which side of the ball?

    AJ was an all-American linebacker in high school and the top recruit in our state. He also averaged over 40 yds a punt and made the all-register team as both am LB & a punter. Dude is just a straight up sick athlete, you play him wherever the team can use him. I like the call that he becomes 1st...

    looking forward

    I really like the videos of Meyer that I've seen Husky28, he will add both size and versatility to our frontcourt not to mention the extra competition that will be there between him, Olaseni, Woodbury for minutes at the 5 but those 3 will also compete with Basabe, White and McCabe for minutes at...

    looking forward

    Also, it wasn't the Woodbury commit that made people call Olaseni a project, it's his lack of offensive skills. From the time Okaseni visited up to the day he committed fans called him a long term project... Offensively. We were all still stoked he is a hawkeye, we will still cheer for him and...

    looking forward

    I certainly hope Bromm/Arch have Hanson/Lohaus senior years but Kurt Looby?!? Looby is PRECISELY the reason I am not sold on Olaseni's basketball skills. Looby was/is proof that Alford was way off in thinking 'you can't teach height' was a good reason to give a BASKETBALL scholarship to a...

    looking forward

    I expect Woodbury to start from day 1 , Bromm/Arch will be gone and Olaseni is a long-term project

    Basketball expectations

    Think about this starting 5 next year : Gessel Marble May Basabe Woodbury Granted 2 true freshmen are in the starting 5 but it looks like the best starting 5 since Horner, Henderson, Haluska, Brunner and Hanson Plus 6'11" sophomore Olaseni off the bench with 6'9" Kyle Meyer, junior Zach...

    Lance Armstrong: Innocent?

    I've thought about this quite a bit and I've decided that even if Lance Armstrong did unfairly use banned substances while competing I am willing to give him a pass exclusively due to his rare character and the fact that the man has raised more than $100 million for cancer research. I know...
