Brad Banks sets Barnstormers' franchise-record



Good for him! We'll have to get over and catch a game. He provided a lot of happy Hawkeye memories, that's for sure!
 




I went to the game last week (Barnstormers won by 1 pt)... it was a blast to watch. Banks and Todd Blythe are quite the combination. I think they've combined for 10 TD's in the past 3 games. Blythe had 3 TD's the first week, 3 TD's last week during the game I was at, and I believe he had 4 TD's last night. During the game I was at Banks took a QB sneak on 4th and inches about 20 yards for a TD!

It's awesome to see Banks come back to play ball in Iowa again. I'm sure the Barnstormers management is loving it as well. That man is putting quite a few butts in the seats at Wells Fargo. I went to one game and I'm sure I'll make it to at least one more this year. That place gets pretty crazy and you can get great seats for a pretty reasonable price (paid $29 per seat and I was about 7 rows up on the 30 yard line). We were close enough to hear the players talking to eachother, and they really do a great job of getting the fans involved. I saw players interacting with the fans multiple times throughout the game.
 


Two things. I understand that AFL is a high scoring sport but the Barnstormers must have no defense. Last week they won on a last second play and this week on a last minute score. I was watching a game on NFL Network lastnight and it was a complete blow out. Cant wait till NFL has the Barnstormers on one of their Friday night games.

The other thing. What game were you watching on the 30 yard line of a 50 yard field with mid field being the 25? Sorry i couldn't pass that one up.
 


Ha my buddy here in Colorado ran into them at the San Jose airport. They told him they were on the "Iowa football team" so he thought they were hawkeyes. He called me as he was having drinks at the bar with them and he then put one of them on the phone with me. He then told me they just played a game in San Jose and I put 2 and 2 together. Dumb Coloradan sports fans...they dont know crap. :)
 


jayjm - Haha nice catch there.... I didn't think about that. Well it felt like the 30 yard line if you know what I mean. I guess I'm not really sure what yard line it would have been. Maybe the 15-20?
