Not trying to be a jerk here Hawkeye Nation. Just figured we should get this out of the way now before it starts to drive everyone, including myself, crazy. I think I've probably spelled his name incorrectly at one point or another as well. I've seen hundreds of posts where it's spelled Rudock, and hundreds where it's spelled Ruddock. So after my OCD started to set in I decided to check the roster. The correct spelling is Rudock.

His name is going to be used thousands of times for the foreseeable future as he progresses through the QB battle and possible earns the starting spot so I figured we might as well try to get this little error squared away.

Now please proceed to bash me for being petty ;)

Personally, I see it as being more persnickety than petty, so I won't be bashing you for being petty.
 
Would have rather have had Ruddock. Looks pretty good. No offense intended to Rudock.

This bugs me too. I also didn't like when people spelled brad rogers wrong...some put a "d" in. In basketball there are many people that don't know how to mike gesell...spelling it gessel.

Spelling players names can be a Gesseling game. :)
 
I make spelling and grammatical errors all the time, but for some reason I always make sure I'm spelling names correctly. I know the addition of a single "d" in his name doesn't mean you don't know what you're talking about, but when I read a big long post where it is spelled incorrectly multiple times it distracts me from the point you're trying to make.

Just a friendly reminder ;).

And no AZ I'm not certified yet... do I need to take a board exam for that or can I earn it free of charge? Ya know I did get 2nd place in the Keystone Elementary 6th Grade Spelling Bee. I lost because I couldn't spell mascara (used a K instead of a C)! How many 6th grade boys know how to spell that crap? I still think it was rigged.

If he produces Ws I don't care how you spell his name.

Does he transfer if he doesn't get the nod? Waiting all this time behind a starting QB that was seriously struggling. If the JV transfer starts that's really going to bite. Bitten twice by JV's sort of.
