Starting RB

. . .I think Hill will be a better version of Adam Robinson...and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

We can only hope!

My take is still the same - being a fast, shifty ball carrier with good vision isn't going to get someone any starts until they have a good, proven, knowledge of the blocking schemes in the new O.

Robinson was a great example of a RB who would block his assignment. Brad Rogers is going to be back there because of his proven ability to block and is going to get some carries just to keep the opposing D honest.

As for the rest? Who really knows at this point? Look and see how the RB core blocks during the Kids Day practice. The ones that are getting the job done then are likely to be the ones that will see playing time. Or not. We will just not know until Sept 1.
 
Garmon plead guilty today in Pennsylvania. Hopefully he's on his way right back....

You are hilarious. Something happened to you in HS that wasn't good right? You can't let that go. You mention my HS glory days, but you fail to realize I've followed the game very closely for 20 years. Do you know how many times I've seen college game day and NFL crews break down tape? Most on here have similar experience so they aren't drawing on just their "playing days", they are using their whole experience. Maybe it's a little strange to you, but I'm one of those guys that will watch a Hawkeye game 4-5 times to be able to see who's playing well and how plays were executed...and why they failed. I find it enjoyable to focus on the offensive line play for an entire game, and I will admit I love Gamefilms analysis each week.

I think some psychological counseling is in order Stache, you obviously haven't let it go from your HS days, or maybe you are a really young guy and it's all fresh in your head. Time heals dude. Did you hate the jocks that bad that you are still harboring ill will?

HEY! I am the one who was great at psychology in high school, and have been intensively studying the social sciences for the past decade. I think I have a little more experience analyzing and diagnosing psychological problems than you do.

Frankly, I am a little insulted that a jock like you would even try your hand at it. It helps that in doing so, you've completely embarrassed yourself even further. Either way, advantage Oates!

"i think in a plea and sentencing, you gotta be there in person."

It depends on the particular judge's preferences on cases where the sentence is a fine.

Oh Christ, I've been matching wits with Curly from the Three Stooges. Hey *******, so what you are saying is that your experience (in High School no less) makes you more adept at diagnosing psychological issues? Do you see the irony here? So essentially you have now decided to argue against me with my original argument. "I don't think you know, what you don't know". Brilliant stuff there Einstein. Why don't you google "moron" and read the results very slowly, then look in the mirror and own it.

And I'm the one who has embarrassed himself. When you say you've been studying the social sciences, are you sure they aren't "special" classes, cause you certainly are special.

The only advantage you have is a much better chance of applying for long term disability with the next year or two...you are well on your way. Do you where elbow pads and headgear most of the day? Just curious.
 
Is Andre Dawson still in town? Not that I think he's a likely starter but I'm guessing we'll be glad he's around. He has more experience than anyone mentioned so far other than Rogers. JUCO is not the B1G but I'm not counting him out if he's on the roster. I believe he has the potential to be a significant contributer.

You know what, this is no fun if you refuse to play along. Your inability to see the game unfolding right in front of you just makes me more skeptical that watching football on your couch for the past 20 years has made you a better coach.

At least tell me you have a dynasty on X-Box or something!

is it ok if it is on playstation...that's what i use and the hawks always go perfect for me (dont know why it is so hard for kf to pull off). and i always seem to get 4 and 5 star recruits (again dont know why that is so hard for kf).

i think hill will be solid so does that make me more credible or would it if it had been if it'd been an x-box?

The real question is, who's going to be the next Iowa RB to actually play all 4 years in a row, he11, let's make that 3?

I think Albert Young was the last RB to actually play 4 yrs in a row.

You forgot about Paki O'Meara 2007-2010 very dependable special teams player and running back! I attended the game he started against UNI.

Nice...the old "I meant to do that" defense. Excellent choice.

From now on, your Delta Tau Chi name is "Flounder"... or FlounderStache.
