A relative of the player isn't reliable. Get a clue man.
Do you know who Doyle is? His name is already HUGE. He doesn't need this to make his name big

You mean Doyel? and I had never heard of this guy until yesterday.

This is actually why I hate Twitter and other social media. Very easy to get out there with a quick hit with virtually no authentication or verification, or context. How does Doyel know that who he's talking to really is a relative of a player, and not, say, Ron Zook? How does he know that even if this is a relative, the person really knows what they're talking about? How many times have pranksters punked mainstream media?
Not like Doyel doesn't have ax to grind here, either. He seemed to jump on this story with a lot of heat yesterday, and Iowa fans responded with a bunch of nasty notes, which only seemed to get him going more and firing back. So I don't think he's going to be willing to write much positive about the Hawkeyes, whatever comes of this.
Iowa's in a difficult spot here in terms of what can be released. Full transparency would clear away a lot of the wild speculation and perhaps shut up people like Doyel and Mandel. But I'm not sure that's possible in view of HPPA, other confidentiality regulations and now the investigation to compile the 90-day report requested by the Regents.

Did Doyle ask this player's relative why the player was so out of shape to begin with? If you're playing D1 football, you can't just lay around and drink all break.
Yeah, we know who Doyle is...
I've never heard of this Doyel guy before, though.
I just find it hard to believe that, of all people you could talk to if you were a relative of one of the players, you would choose Doyel....

He has written for CBS sports for a long time and has a lot of followers. Usually b/c they hate him but he has followers still. I don't like him but I think him talking to a family member is more credible than anything else we have heard

So all 13 were out of shape? See this is the thing that bothers me and I posted a thread shortly after the announcement. I can see 2 or maybe 3 players being reported for this condition but we talking about 13 players. That IMO is just whacky..

I think Mr poggi's comments were far more credible than an unnamed relative (could be a 2nd cousin for all we know)
I honestly had never heard of this guy before yesterday.

Another FYI:
National Kidney Foundation: A to Z Health Guide Item
When is dialysis needed?
You need dialysis when you develop end stage kidney failure --usually by the time you lose about 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function.
Also if you type in "when should" into google the first suggestion is "When should i take a pregnancy test."

He is right that it doesn't take much to be admitted to the hospital, but to not be released for what will be at least 4 days now (if they are released tomorrow) is a whole other thing and is very serious.
Just for arguments sake, if you were not from Iowa and say another state, I doubt you would call the Des Moines Register. I do agree that Doyel is an idiot though and I wouldn't believe a word he says.
Pathetic post beyond words.
FWIW- He is the guy that broke the D1 Scheduling story (non story) that ultimately got Wayne Morgan fired. Just like this, he threw out a ton of innuendo with no factual proof.

GFR is the measure of kidney function. If it is Rhabo and they have treated it it most probably a temporary condition.
I still think there are some unnamed susbstances being used here that in addition to the intense workouts caused this. It is not a bad thing to have a review of the workout/conditioning/vitamin approaches if you have this many kids getting sick.

If in fact all 13 players are suffering from Rhabo (which i will beleive when i see reported) it would almost have to a source greater than multiple tough workouts.

That Carl Winslow look alike was a ****** basketball coach that ISU was looking for any reason to fire. When your coach's next job after a coaching at BCS level school is selling air conditioners, that should tell you what kind of a coach you had.
