How weird is this? I mean, really really weird.

You see a lot of strange things following recruiting. And this surely is one of them.

Hahaha what in the fn hell? It's easy to see why they didn't have it up very long. Kelly probably had nothing to do with it but still. That's ridiculous.

 

[Chickenlounge]

Not strange at all. I mean, who doesn't have a man-crush on Kittle?

And, what's with the Minnesota Vikings reference? Is he a Vikings fan?

College programs randomly pick NFL teams to add to those graphics. Iowa does it as well.

Iowa should put one out with Joe Montana on it and see what happens...

What? LOL! They could have at least used Tyler Eiffert. Especially when sending recruiting materials to an Iowa born kid.

Kittle should sue them if ND had anything to do with that. That is a ridiculous use of his likeness, which is worth a LOT of money.

Wish I could have seen some of the comments on that tweet, did anyone see them before they took it down? It's an odd recruiting method, if I was a college recruit looking at that it would impress me on Iowa more than ND.

Absolutely. That would be a blatant copyright violation.

Absolutely. That would be a blatant copyright violation.

Agree. I have to assume ND got the OK from Kittle to do this, if not sees like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
