    Clearing the Air...

    The thing to remember about the internet, sports, and life is that it is best when it is all in good fun. As hard as it can be, give people the presumption of good faith until disproven, and you will be happier because your heart will be light. Pootspot, I am sorry. Sorry that I teased you...

    Oliver Martin Eligible

    You'd think so, but it might just be vape clouds these days.

    Martin OK'd

    Oh Rob. You are just not using your journalistic sleuth powers to their fullest extent. If you watch closely, Kirk's eyes go up and to the left. Based on that, we have confirmation that Oliver Martin has always been a Hawkeye, and the whole story about him going to Michigan, being there two...

    Getting into journalism, did you know it would eventually lead to defending the veracity of your reporting to someone named pootspot, or did it just sorta turn out that way?

    What We Learned: Phil Parker Press Conference

    Hey Rob, I notice when discussing the LBs, Parker says Welch and Colbert are the starters right now, and mentions Doyle, Benson, and Campbell (that's new, right?). But there's no mention of Nick Niemann. Is falling out of the competition, just an mistaken omission, or is he going into that...

    Did Iowa Bumble Another Waiver Petition w/ Oliver?

    There's a lot of people talking out their butts itt. Oliver files the waiver request, not Iowa. After OM files the waiver request, NCAA sends out requests for paperwork to UM and Iowa. Unless you know the general rules of procedure in place, and the timing of when things happened in this...

    Did Iowa Bumble Another Waiver Petition w/ Oliver?

    I'd use the Shea Patterson case for precedent. There, changing OCs was enough to prove hardship. And Mich just changed OCs.

    Another Nebraska player

    I used to sell weed to Hawkeye football players when I was in college. 2002-2004. I would guess greater than half smoked then, and judging by cultural norms, that has gone up since.

    Another Nebraska player

    However, there are good ways and bad ways to test. Mouth swabs tests only go positive if you''ve used marijuana in the last 12-24 hours, which is all you need to know about as an employer. Out here in Oregon, employers go with the swab, as it still protects them from insurance, and doesn't...

    Julius Brents, Riley Moss Ready for Round 2 with Hawkeyes

    Please tell me that Jack Koerner is a bit small for the position, sits in the corner, and has a tendency towards self-congratuations after plucking fruit from holiday pastries.

    Stanley NFL Draft Stock

    Stanley will get his shot in the NFL absent a Vandenbergish collapse his senior year. He's a Day 2 prospect who could play himself into round 1 if he can raise his level and be more consistent. Like Beathard, he has the advantage of playing in an NFL offense, and is not going to face as steep...

    Jayden McDonald in the portal

    He was 3rd string at best going into camp (Welch, Colbert, Niemann, Doyle, Benson all were ahead of him at the very least). And would not surprise me at all if guys like Jestin Jacob's were passing him in the ladder as well. 3 guys above him returning with starting experience. 2 more in his...

    Howe: Kids Day Practice Thoughts, Observations

    Roster is deep, too. We have a lot of depth in the LB/DT positions where attrition often plays a big role. Welch/Colbert/Niemann/Doyle/Benson all seem ready to go, and there's a ton of talent under them all for 2 LB spots.

    That's like being the best smelling spot in a hog confinement lot.

    All-Ferentz Team: Defensive Line

    I'd put Roth ahead of Kampmann. Other than that, I think it's spot on. DT might be the deepest position of the whole field.

    There goes our squeaky clean slate with the NCAA...

    As far as major recruiting violations go, this turned out pretty tame. Sounds like a bad situation handled poorly, but hardly any real devious intent.
