    Football Killed Tyler Sash - BHGP

    Because the previous poster is incorrect. Plenty of bodies are donated to science, and brains are constantly studied and looked at as a result. There have been plenty of autopsies and research done on brains of people who did not play football (far more than we have studied the brains of those...

    Former Vikes coach Bud Grant on concussions

    That's the thing, over years of research, experiments, and tons and tons of data we do know that there are genetic markers and environmental factors that influence susceptibility to cancer. But, that's cancer. CTE is not cancer, so you can't just say that some people are more susceptible than...

    Top 20 classes...

    When I was 18, i can tell you that I was not all that excited to look at artist's renderings and architectural drawings of a building that wasn't built yet. And look at the next class. Already paying dividends in Epenesa's verbal and Eno Benjamin's strong interest.

    When is Drew Ott red shirt announcement?

    Honestly... I'm not sure he even plays in 2016, even if he is granted the hardship waiver. I have a feeling KF and Co. want the waiver so he can continue working with the team and with Doyle to rehab that knee and help him be in better position for next year's draft.

    Iowa Bill Targets Standford Band

    If nobody payed attention to the Stanford band, they'd go away quietly. Was the show awful? Yep. Was if offensive? No, because it was so bad that even ESPN had to turn the cameras off of it. Honestly, after hearing about all of their previous exploits with the likes of ND, their Rose Bowl...

    Nope, but it doesn't keep you from being one.

    2016 Incoming Class

    Per wikipedia: In the U.S., the title Esquire is commonly encountered among members of the legal profession.[7] The term is used for both male and female lawyers.[37] The return of Iowalaw?

    Former Vikes coach Bud Grant on concussions

    Yep, this. It's just a game of probabilities. Every time you strap on your helmet, you're buying another lottery ticket. Only you don't find out if you "won" this lottery until much later. Even if there is a genetic predisposition, all that means is that some people have a higher chance of...

    Tyler Sash Mom speaks about his struggles

    To those saying "targeting rule is BS:" - we know the risks every time we get into a car, yet we still have traffic laws, laws against drinking and driving and laws against using a car as a weapon. Do those laws always get applied appropriately? No. But it doesn't mean the law (or the...

    Tyler Sash

    And in women's soccer and in wrestling the players aren't wearing anywhere near the same amount of protection as they are in football. Also, if you look at the research, it's not the concussions per se that are leading to CTE, but the accumulation of those and constant sub-concussive hits and...

    2016 depth chart

    So true. And BF and KF will take the "heat" for an "abysmal" 12-2 season all day, every day, year in and year out. You may be forgetting that we have 5 players starting on the line with starting experience, several at more than one position along the line.

    ESPN Top 25 for 2016

    I bet ESPN would do him without a jimmy. They're pretty hard on him, if you know what I mean.

    What if we had played Willies more?

    2016 Projected Starting Lineup

    Torn ACL is 1 year return on average. That would put him back in circulation in October and missing all of winter conditioning/spring practice/fall camp. I think the only reason he would come back is to utilize the practice opportunity to rehab. I don't see him starting. And that's even IF...

    How do you feel

    Every game is must win. We want to be one of the big dogs, we have to beat some of the big dogs. A win in the Rose Bowl this year is a guaranteed top 5 finish to the season and a preseason top 10 or 15 for next year. Plus, if you go into every game thinking it's a "must-win", that's a...

    Key to Rose Bowl Victory

    A very wise man once said that applies here (I paraphrase): The team that scores the most points is probably going to win the game. But seriously, the biggest weaknesses in Stanford's D is the runs between the tackles and the young secondary that, as a whole, has fewer interceptions than...

    6 Rose Bowl Tix to sell

    Also, that doesn't add up to 6 tickets. I'm reading either 5 or 7, depending on how you read his ad.

    B1G Bowl Podcast re: Star Wars discussion (spoiler alert!!!)

    So general note: Almost EVERY movie made has elements of luck and happenstance to drive the plot forward. Books are the same way. Now, to 4 and 5. 4) Han Solo clearly states that he was searching for the Falcon and was tracking it's signature. As soon as the ship was started up by Rey and...

    So what quarter does Lomax knock out McCaffrey?

    I didn't know Lomax had anything against Fran. And don't they only play halves in basketball?
