Tarp broke his hand?

[PJHawk]

Has this been posted? I didn't know about it - per Marc Morehouse:

Morris, 6-foot-2, 215, has been installed as the No. 3 middle linebacker. With senior starter Jeff Tarpinian slowed by a broken hand, Morris has been a two behind junior Bruce Davis. Kirksey, a 6-2, 195-pounder from St. Louis, might be seeing time at outside linebacker. Both will help on special teams.

You must have a life........unlike the majority of us around here. It has been pretty well documented, at least on the message boards. Sounds like a 2-4 week injury. I'd bet we see him for ISU in some sort of a cast. Maybe just a giant foam finger for extra protection.

Iowa linebackers do not require thumbs, or hands.

Nor do their brothers' dogs.

Since I've never played Linebacker, how the hell do these guys break their hands?? Klinkenborg did a few years ago also... If I recall correctly, he was still awesome, just couldn't make interceptions.

It's just the reality of football, injuries happen.
