I like this Stanzi better than the ****-you Stanzi when he doesn't get his way.

It is possible that his uncle helped get him through the door to be on the team. I seriously doubt Kirk is just going to play him over punters that are better because his uncle is a big donor. Otherwise, why would Kirk even be kicking the tires on this Australian guy?
For the season after? Clearly, you haven’t been following the action if you don’t believe this stuff doesn’t go on

I do not believe Kirk played an inferior punter to sooth a donor. I say that because I remember the other kid punting and he sucked too. Therefore, I do not believe Kirk has been bought, I believe he stinks at finding scholarship punters.
I concur.
This one looks like a specialist.
Because honestly I am old and I was thinking about trying out for a scholarship if we didn't do something.
I mean I was never a punter but I played kick ball as a kid, so I think I would of had a real shot of beating out the competition we had going for the job.

Robs mute button finger on Twitter is getting a workout.
So, all you dad-jeans wearing fools out there in twitterland hoping to hurt this kids feelings with a mean tweet better think twice.

Sleep-Dalton has already played three years and had a redshirt year. He has one year of eligibility left.

So is Kirk going to pay back the million Brucie gave him to give to the hospital, or can he turn that in to Barta on his next expense report?

Do you guys carpool to Flat Earth meetings?
How many head coaches do you know of that take multiple private flights to the hometowns of ultra-rich uncles of super sucky punters, especially when they know the punters are super sucky beforehand?
Didn’t catch that. My bad. Hats off to the captain as a punter is about the most valuable commodity in the ferentz engine and we/he needs an upgrade badly

Fry, please send me the tape of the kid sitting on the bench who is ready to boom 60 yard punts, but doesn't have the cash to get on the field.
Now, if you want to make the argument that KF purposefully shanked his recruitment of punters to get this kid an opportunity, okay, I will wear my tinfoil hat and listen. But, I saw the competition on the field with Gersonde with my own eyes, and Rassy was the shiniest turd on that pile . . . unfortunately.

Rastetter is a big donor, but Iowa football is waaaaayyy bigger than Bruce rastetter. If Kirk honestly believed gersonde would give Iowa a competitive advantage gersonde be punting. Winning more football games pays off way more than a million dollar donation.
I love conspiracies as much as anyone, but doesn’t the fact that they are landing a grad transfer to
Compete with Colton rastetter preclude the chance of a conspiracy?

Your article mentioned the position he played when playing Australian Style Football because of his kicking accuracy.

He has been a below-average punter but it's not like this is like playing Jon Lickliter at point guard for awhile. If CR was as bad at punting as Little Lick was at playing point, I'd buy into this theory.
It's fair to criticize Kirk's recruitment of punters but to think he would intentionally put the team at risk to lose more games through bad punting to please a donor is absurd.

I’ll do you one better. Give this an honest to goodness watch (it’s only six minutes), and tell me how the statistically worst punter in D-1 not only doesn’t get benched, but his backup doesn’t even get a chance. In effect you’re saying that Gersonde was worse than the worst punter in college football. So, Iowa has the two worst punters in America on its roster? What are the mathematical odds of that? And not only did the guy keep the starting job, he came back as the starter again for christ’s sake. No coach on earth keeps repeatedly playing a kid who is that bad unless there’s some back room shit going on. Watch this honestly and tell me he’s not petting Bruce.

In 2017 he was worse than Lick! By a mile!
