I caught that comment too ... and was excited by it.

I was also struck by Coach K's remarks about our DL situation. From what he was saying, there might still be a chance to see Alvis spend most of his time at DE. Furthermore, he seems pretty confident that we'll get some guys to step up on the interior line. Hopefully ....

So humble and so focused. This young man epitomizes Iowa Football. Stay hungry and thirsty my friend.

I'm hungry and thirsty for September 3rd.

The coolest thing about Coker, aside from trucking defenders and then running past them, is that he's a freaking astrophysics major.

Technically, I believe that Iowa only formally offers a physics major and an astronomy major. However, that doesn't mean that he won't go down the path of astrophysics.

Think he's double majoring in those 2 fields. I could be wrong though.

I think you and homer are correct...Iowa to my knowledge doesn't actually offer an "astrophysics" major. Astrophysics is a field you enter after majoring in those two disciplines.

My bad.

FWIW he's listed as an "astrophysics" major in his player bio.

Not that it's really important.

Astrophysicists are kinda like astronomers who actually aren't afraid of math.

Astrophysicists are also kinda like relativists who decide to make their research more relevant ... especially seeing how much quality cosmological and astrophysical data is coming in these days.

And, technically speaking, you DON'T need to major in both physics and astronomy to become an astrophysicist. Rather, you just need to either get an astrophysics related position after college OR snag an astrophysics advisor in grad-school.

Smart spin by the sports info people. It makes the football program look even cooler to call Coker an astrophysics major.

Andre does not eat raw meat, because Andre is a vegetarian.

Cool story, homer.

Vegetarians cook their meat????
