I said it would be Mends as well, but I will spin it as a win for me still somehow even if Bo ends up starting.
Either way, good for Bo if he wins the spot, I'm sure KF will start the player who gives us the best chance to win, right PC?
I’m happy to be wrong all day long if Iowa’s winning. If Bo is playing well enough to win the spot then great. I didn’t think this is how it’d play out and it still may not. There’s obviously some good competition going on which is awesome. It’s not a scenario in which we think it’ll be a weak spot. Honestly is there a weak spot on this team? It’s hard to poke many holes other than just the obvious unknown newbies. (DEs WRs & kickers) I really don’t think there’s going to be something where teams can come at us and say they can take advantage of this guy or that guy all game long. I’m tickled where we are so far and can’t wait for season to start.I said it would be Mends as well, but I will spin it as a win for me still somehow even if Bo ends up starting.

I'm sure the competition isn't over, and Mends took all the snaps at WLB on Saturday's kids day. Either way I feel good about the depth at LB right now, as I think both will be very capable players.

Doesnt surprise me Bower is up there. Hes more experienced, assume has a better grasp of the Defense
Yes, I brought that up when I brought up about not paying attention to the depth chart...
No he didn't....
A quote from the article; "I had been hearing this alignment was possible heading into camp. Iowa has always tried to get its best players on the field and, like Fisher, Bower possesses the versatility to move and the experience to win the job from younger players." This is almost exactly what I told you folks. Do you really think I'm just making things up? Or maybe I talk to coaches, players (maybe I even talked to Bo) and am knowledgeable, and then share with you what I learn...hmmm...Anyone want to talk about Iowa's schemes and calls?

Should have said Bowers was at OLB, and Mends at WLB. At least according to another site.

4 p.m. CT today.
I'm still adding Tweets to the story if you guys want more updates.
That's not what I was 'picking' on you about. Yes, Mends ran with the 1's at the Will and Bowers ran with the 1's at LEO at Kids day. What I was referring to is you saying he took ALL the snaps at Kids day, when obviously numerous others took snaps at the Will that day....just being my smart ass self, never mind..................
If Bower is the starter than I will believe Icke has inside info. Normally the "it doesn't matter" depth chart would have the guy like bower starting due to experience and the guy like Mends 2nd team. The fact that Bower was 2nd string even tho he was more experienced made it pretty "obvious" Mends was a legit first string. To call that one takes either an out of left field guess or inside knowlege. Icke is too full of himself to put his money on an out of left field guess.
So Ickehawk, why are they leaning towards Bower after listing Mends? Is Mends struggling or is Bower really stepping up?
