This is why Jon bans bad mouthing players...

NCAA student athlete have something like a 30-40 percent higher graduation rate than non-scholarship students. The graduation rate for Iowa football players is around 75%. The graduation rate for incoming freshmen is around 50%. They are not as dumb as you think.

And I'm sure most of them put their General Studies or Criminal Justice or Communications degrees to good use after they graduate.

When I was still in college, the starting right guard was my lab partner. Mechanical Enginering.

No, most of them are pretty dumb.

Arrest records over the last few years beg to differ.

Cool story bro...

But a grown man following high school kids on Twitter is ok?

 

[CraigTNelson]

LOL at this thread. Norwalk is a huge gaper. Your outrage is misguided.

 

[Billso]

Here's a word of advice, don't follow athletes on the twitter. It's a little depressing how dumb most of them really are.

Different and dumb are two different things. A lot of what they say is generational and regional. It doesn't necessarily make them dumb.

Well, then some of them must be a dumb generation from a dumb region of the country.



More seriously, Ed Banach was my Electrical Engineering lab partner. Kicked my a$$ when he wasn't kicking a$$es on the mat. Great athlete, great student, great guy.

So you named yourself after him?You are a complete, total, and unmitigated d*u*m*b*a*s*s.

Since you are clearly not educated enough to understand my post I am done, continue with your bashing off all things related to Iowa football, players and coaches. Oh and tell your Mom I said hi.

That was mature.

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

Wow, guess I am sorry I said something then. I thought it was an interesting topic to debate since we live in a world of instant social media but apparently nobody else saw it that way. Whatever. Might as well go back to talking about mopeds and if Coker is still eligible for a redshirt...

 

[9YRPLAN]

what would the graduation rate for all freshmen be if they got to handpick their class schedule ahead of everyone else, had several of their closest friends in every class with them, received numerous extensions and exceptions due to extracurricular activities, had tutors on call 24/7, as well as advisors monitoring their class activities and breathing down their neck when something wasnt up to par?

LOL. I forgot that was his screen name, and I too know the real Tyler's sister but not in the biblical sense. Very nice girl.

What you don't get is---no one was bad mouthing laron taylor. Did you read any of laron's tweets? Again, your outrage is misguided.

Ok, it's misguided. Whatever. End of argument.

I'm not saying what the douches on HALO did was right but think about this way: if the kid is crying about some Internet people badmouthing his stupid tweets, how will he handle 100,000 fans getting on him at Michigan and Ohio State

He'll tweet about it?

I think this Flemming kid has done our program well by helping us recruit some kids. We should at least listen to his point. Some of the jackasses on here that live in moms basement and have nothing better to do than bad mouth young athletes should be banned. Same dumbasses all the time.......get em out. no one will miss them

 

[TylerSash]

Hoffa, do you post on the Rivals site? There is a guy with the same idiotic screen name.
