It probably makes a difference on the required class load if they have already graduated before their senior season starts.

I agree....please remind people of this while JVB goes through growing pains......Remind of it when they start calling for Derby, Rudoch or whoever.

Oh yes you can. You've spent enough time in cyberspace reading message boards that you know all too well how many tightly wound people there are in the USA. According to the last gov't census on that subject the number is 145,712,981.

I pray you are wrong. That's why ALL America's politicians suck - they would rather be politically correct than tell the truth.

As a teacher myself, I sometimes get irritated when people say how much people hate the subject I teach, but it doesn't bother me enough to make anything of it. I would be she was trying to be funny and it was taken out of context in the article.
I JVB can live up to the hype, I think the next two years are going to be pleasant surprises.

Met JVB at I-Club in Okoboji. Impressive young man. Hoping for him to succeed more now than ever.

I know that Vandenberg was taking Chemistry during the spring and it impacted his schedule during spring camp ... and that fact actually irritated O'Keefe a little bit.
On the flip side though ... now that his degree will be out of the way early, he'll have fewer things distracting him in future camps.
Anyhow, I'm always stoked when I hear about Iowa players making sure that they take their education seriously too.
By the way, of the academic all-B10 players, Iowa was the only program who had multiple guys who's "home department" was the math/comp. sci department. If you ask me, that's pretty impressive. When you add Coker's physics major to the mix ... I think that really reflects positively on our program.

Not to mention, Jake Rudock is also enrolling pre-med. It is nice to see that we don't encourage taking "football majors".

I have been following Iowa football since '81 and the graduation rate has always been between 55-75%. Basically, for every 10 guys that come into the program 6 are graduating within a 5 year period. That is on par with the regular student body and above the national average for D-1 football programs.
With the legal woes Iowa has had in recent years that is one of the things I point to when people start making comparisons to renegade SEC schools.

Every doctor thinks that chiros are quacks. And they are correct.
Coker is majoring in physics? He might be the smartest kid on the team.

You're simply wrong on both points. MD's refer to Chiropractors daily and vice versa. And if they were quacks, why is it that nearly 465 million Americans see them on an annual basis (which is MORE visits than to general physicians, 395 Million, on an annual basis)?
JVB is smart and he realizes this. That's why he is basically ignoring his father and still considering the field. Props to him for thinking alternative.
On that note, he does strike me as one smart cookie. And yes, Chemistry sucked (and I aced it, so that opinion is not because of a bad grade).

Why does everyone think you need to be smart to study physics? Physics isn't terribly difficult or convaluded. Like any other scientific field, it has its own rules and language, but it has more practical applications than just about anything on the planet. It is incredibly approachable, but people seem to think all but genuises need to apply.

If you have a truly bad problem, a chiropractor cannot help you. Believe me, I know.

Fix a blown out knee or dislocated shoulder? No. But the day to day minor displacements that can cause a lot of discomfort? They can definitely help with that, and those things are hardly worth seeing a doctor about. I was a regular patient during football and baseball season, and it definitely was helpful for me.

This. And I know first hand that in the event a chiropractor finds something that is wrong they have no problem referring you to a specialist. I had a herniated L5S1 that required surgery last year (still bitter it forced me to stay home for the last 3 home games) and after dealing with the pain for 4 months and what seemed like weekly trips to both my chiropractor and family physician, it was my chiropractor and not not the physician that finally referred me to a specialist.
The fact is regardless of the public perception, they both want what's best for their patients and are willing to work with eachother to help someone get better.
