I have a very athletic 8th grader at home. Momma says “No football.” Cross country is the alternative. It’s all about the concussion issue for us. Clearly, we are not the only suburban parents thinking that way, either.

Seriously, what the NCAA needs is a logical and respected guy at the top of the organization that could really clean all of these transfers up so that it is cut and dry and applied equally. The other thing that needs to be established is the penalty these kids must pay when they run afoul of...

His criticisms from fans about the Rhabdo incident actually happening are unjustified. What he should get criticized for was his response, or lack there of, once it happened. He was out on a recruiting trip and decided not to get his tail back to Iowa City and work the phones to call each of...

I think the idea with Amani this year, is to give him just one responsibility: line up as a DE or OLB and rush the passer with as much ferocious energy as possible. That is it. Seek and destroy the QB. Nothing else. Just get in there and sic ‘em! Also, be the captain of that killer Kickoff...

The BTN guys were really talking him up, like he was a difference maker for their DL.

Chris Doyle deserves every penny of what they are paying him. Yes, he deserves more than his counterparts at Bama and Clemson and ND. He is the only contact on the staff these kids have between January 1 and the start of fall camp (except for the very short Spring training camp in March)...

Linebackers need to progress, too. IIRC, Fitzgerald was quoted after that game that he thought he saw a weakness at LB and could attack Iowa’s defense there. Naturally, their freshman RB had a career day. I know the back 5 are very good. POSSIBLY the best as an entire unit from an athletic...

Since Iowa’s camp still hasn’t started I found this looking through some notes about Titans camp: Amani Hooker, playing with the first team, picked off a pass during a late 11-on-11 period. Marcus Mariota floated a pass for receiver Tajae Sharpe that appeared to be deflected by cornerback...

NFL camps are going and Hockenson is getting rave reviews each day. Hasn’t dropped a pass, runs terrific routes and he and Stafford have been “unguardable” on the red zone deep corner route, that Hock always comes down with. He is changing the attitude about his pick with Detroit fans...

But that also would mean he would acquire that same speed from Prime Time, too! Right? I’ll take it.

You could make an argument that they have already taken an additional 3 WR’s with the transfers coming in...

I will go on record as saying there will be very little reason to worry about the TE production this year. Will there be a drop off in reception totals from last year? Absolutely. But I think we will see every bit as much production from the TE position as a normal year. Beyer is big and...

Rob, what is your view of the 6’7” TE walk-on, Jackson Frericks from Cedar Falls? Sure looked unstoppable at the UNI Dome for Cedar Falls. I get the feeling he is an underrated weapon. Too skinny? Not fast enough to keep up with these scholarship players or does he have a real chance to...

Hoping Higgins and Geers pull the trigger, at a minimum.

Who says that QB for Michigan finishes the game? Shea Patterson, meet AJ Epenesa.

As a Lakers fan, who are DESPERATE for shooters to pair up with Lebron, I often wonder if Peter could ever get a chance with them. Lakers front office brought in a bunch of journeymen last year, who could supposedly play defense. What Lebron needs, though, are spot up shooters who can knock...

Is it WR or nothing with him? Rob reports he is a thicker kid ... what about TE? He’s already as fast as Hock...? If he doesn’t have the hands, what about Safety or Cash or LB? Can he tackle? Can he block? Staff may be waiting on answers to those same questions. They are usually pretty...

Awesome stats, Parkeye! Good to hear. Get him on campus and hanging around AJE as often as possible this next year and he may absorb some awesomeness. Hard to turn the Hawks down if he gets to know the staff and the guys... West Branch is only, like, 9 miles away, right? Marv Cook’s hometown?

Does this mean they are worried about not getting Bollers?

Interesting. If we are healthy (as opposed to our 2 best OL being out vs NDSU), I think that even though I am not a gambler... I might take that bet. No Montgomery, No Hakeem Butler. I will stand by my assertion that both OL and DL are better than ISU’s. ISU fans probably think otherwise...
