Marcus Coker is Gone

Can anyone deny, though, that there is a common denomonator here? All different kids come in year after year, a bunch end up leaving, what has stayed the same???

Do you have any evidence that Iowa has significantly higher than average departures?

As fans of Iowa football, why do we cheer for our team? I would rather cheer for a team where players are punished when they break the rules. I like cheering for the "good guy" more than I like cheering for a team that represents the University that I attended, more than I like cheering for a team that is geographically close to the place that I live. I even like cheering for the "good guy" more than I like cheering for talented athletes and winning seasons.

Part of the reason I like Iowa football is because we are not Ohio State, Penn State, or an SEC team. Part of the reason it is fun to cheer for Iowa is because we are consistently the underdog. The Iowa football program is not just about wins and losses. We strive to represent something positive.

Coker was a talented Iowa RB, but we don't know what he did. Iowa is home to positive, smart, student athletics. Good athletes are not above the law or University policy. Good athletes can make mistakes, but good Hawkeyes accept and learn from the repercussions of those mistakes.

So, you think it was a lie that both guys had an invitation to rejoin the team and that KF wanted them back?

So, you are calling Barta and KF liars?

What about the possibility that Coker was invited back, but then subsequently more "issues" were discovered and the invitation was going to be rescinded?

That's actually a good question and I don't really know aside from just looking at some of the B1G teams and a few other top teams who have kept their star RB's at their school aside from NFL departures. WI has never had a starting guy leave like this, nor do I remember it from OSU, Illinois, Michigan, MSU or Penn St. Similarly, Bama had their top guys in there (Ingram for several seasons, then Richardson), LeMichael James hasn't lef Oregon, etc.

May be good to research though and see if we really are an outlier or if maybe it happens more often then not.
 
Wow. I take a break from these boards for a couple of hours to watch Moneyball and I come back to this meltdown. Crazy thing this Iowa football program.

Which is why riley Reiff is #7 on the big board, yeah he's really undersized, and handled alexander from OU relatively well.

He had a number of penalties, and in several games more than 1, basically blew protection multiple times during the MN game, and is our heaviest guy at I think only 300! So yeah that IS undersized. WI's O-Line outweights the goddamn Green Bay Packers.

do some research before you open your mouth.

Most of these guys are 10 so you get what you get here. I love the Guy who is going to pull his donation because a kid got suspended and quit the team. That poster was raised real well by his parents.
