Open Practice at Kinnick today?

I’m not trying to be funny, dumb, over the top or even insightful, but I just wish people would stop invoking the name of a stupid curse or running back hating god. It unnerves me and quite frankly just perpetuates this crap in my mind.

I know he sat out of the playoffs last year with a leg injury. Don't know which one though.

Strangely enuff I was thinking today how Malloy, Fleming and Hill all purportedly had "knee" issues last year and yet they were performing well.....guess not!

Maybe the words of the curse aren't as bad as your jinxing thoughts? :)
 
At this point it's comical. Not in the sense of the injuries but how frequent it happens and the same position. Then some of those players leave and have healthy careers elsewhere. It's to a point now where i wonder if recruits may even be on edge about playing at Iowa or even schools using it as negative recruiting against Iowa?

First, not all RBs that left IA are knee issues. Now that I got that out of the way, I think there needs to be a look at the strength & cond. for this unit...I do. I am guessing the turf is similar to other places around the country. We are wearing similar cleats, etc. I know Doyle is the best in the universe and should not be questioned on anything, but that is the only variable I can think of. There is not a curse but there has to be a reason.

I don't disagree, but this kid has been conditioning with the team for like 2 months tops....

That was my thought as well. They could look into long term effects from his program for RB's. But when it's a kid that's barely been here, you just have say "that's football".
