I'm not sure why he would close the door on leaving at this time. There's no need.

I could see 50 cents an ounce. $8 for a 16oz beer would be pretty standard arena/stadium price. $16 for that same drink would be insane and would price out most people.
I agree with that. But if you know, you know. It would be really surprising for anyone to know for sure that early, but it's one of the few reasons that makes much sense that he wasn't in chicago.

I honestly don't think there's any conspiracy. I think a lot of coaches bring guys that they feel have been good soldiers for the longest time. Ryan Day didn't bring Chase Young.
It was a major development when KF brought Jewell as junior, the first one he had ever brought. Now, Jewell, Stanley and Toren Young are the only juniors he's brought.

I would guess a 16 oz beer would cost $12. When you price them like that you eliminate people getting hammered. Well, most people.
I wonder how they would realign? North South? Or something stupid like the leaders and legends stuff?

If he brought 3 seniors this year I wouldn't have thought much of it. But since he brought a different junior instead of AJ it raises some questions as to why. I've heard a lot of good things about Young as person, but I've heard the same things about AJ. Young must be a heck of a lot better as a person in Kirk's eyes to pick him since he's not even really a starter and the other guy was 1st team Big 10. Unless there's more to the story. The "more to the story" could be as simple as AJ didn't even want to go, or Kirk flopped a coin. But there has to be some deciding factor when you pick one junior over your clear cut best junior.
It could just be that AJ isn't a leader like those guys, which is perfectly okay. Some guys lead by example instead.
Young has been on the Hawks leadership group every year since he was a RS Freshman. This is a group voted on by the team, and it is usually dominated by upper-classmen. The 2019 council has 18 seniors and 1 junior (Young is the lone junior).
Here is an article about Young's leadership, with an exerpt copied-and-pasted below (https://hawkeyesports.com/news/2019/7/19/football-young-leadership.aspx):
Perhaps more importantly, Young is a leader. A leader by example. He was one of two redshirt freshmen named to Iowa's Leadership Group in 2017. Last season he was the lone sophomore on the Leadership Group. As the Hawkeyes enter the 2019 season, Young is the only junior on the Leadership Group.
As a side note, Epenesa was on the leadership group as a Freshman in 2017 but has not been voted to the last 2 leadership groups.
That's interesting he "stopped" getting voted on. That's different than never being voted on in the first place. I did know all of that about Toren tho.

It sounds like AJ just isn’t really a fan of all the attention.

It can be cyclical, too. When the SEC started in its current configuration (pre-Mizzou and A&M), the West was a joke. Florida and UT were both really good and Georgia was pretty solid. Now, the east looks like a joke. But then when you watch decent Iowa teams get boat raced by Tennessee and Florida in bowl games, maybe it ain't that bad. I think Florida tuned Michigan up again this year as well. My guess is that outside of the two super programs named Clemson and Bama, there is actually a pretty decent amount of parity among mid tier and higher BCS programs.
Could be. Maybe AJ said no thanks to going.
It could be that some years they try to have representation from each class, and other years (especially if they are senior-heavy), they don't? With 18 seniors on the 2019 council, it seems like this year they pretty much just picked everyone from that class.

They were banned in, I want to say '88. Had one at every game in '87. Had to find more clever delivery methods after that.I remember those when I was a kid at Kinnick and watching Iowa fans around drink out them. Then, by the time I was old enough to drink, they just sort of vanished. I guess they were just a phase.
Cheers y'all!

I can believe it pre-Hayden. Once Hayden got to IC, attendance went way up, and the budget was there to hire more Per-Mar, or whoever the security company was.

One standing joke in the 70s was...people would head to the bathrooms in the 2nd quarter so they wouldn't miss the band at halftime.
The easiest thing the BIG can do would be to pair the 4 western-most teams (Nebraska, Minny, Iowa & Wisco) with the 3 eastern-most teams (PSU, Rutgers, Maryland). The teams from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan & Ohio are the other division.
All natural rivalries remain intact. Iowa's division would feature 2 "blue-bloods" in PSU and Nebraska, and 2 teams that have shown they can compete for conference titles (Wisco & Iowa). The other division would have 2 "blue bloods" in Ohio State & Michigan and 2 teams that have shown they can compete for conference titles in Mich St and Northwestern.
