Wegher bombs

It's all good. We got our one game wonder at RB and thats all that matters.

And the hype over in your camp is revolving around Steele Jantz? The guy who has not played a single snap of D1 football? I'd say that Clowns like you have no room to talk about hyping up an unknown.

Played as a freshman due to having absolutely no one else but A-Rob at RB. Wasn't going to play as a Sophomore. Thought he should be playing as a Sophomore so he quits. Transfers to Oklahoma and finally realizes he's not going to play there either.

Wegher made his bed and was crushed by it, so no sympathies from me there. Have the Sooners even had a practice since he joined the team? That's gotta be one mixed up kid.

Even if BW wasn't the starter at Iowa in '10, it's not like he was going to waste away on the bench. He was talented enough to get some carries, return some punts, line up in the slot, etc. And since the backup is always one big hit away from being the starter, I highly doubt he got out of town for strictly playing time reasons.

Your hatred of Wegher is pretty baffling to me. For a true freshman I thought he did a pretty decent job in '09. ARob had quicker feet and was better in traffic and MAYBE had a toughness edge, but Wegher had more top end speed, was better in the open field, better at the goal line, and better catching the ball out of the backfield.

There was still plenty of room for both on the team - until Marcus Coker was ready to play, anyway.
 
If he went to ISU, he'd have to play defense...because he wouldn't crack the two deep at RB. That said, I think he might make a pretty solid Strong Safety...so bring him on.

He was a decent player who appeared to have a huge upside. We really could have used him last season. I won't go so far as to suggest that if he had played A-Rob might have avoided the concussions, but ... it sure would have helped to have a strong second back.

We've got Coker now, plus a lot of young talent. But I think Brandon could have been a huge contributor had he stayed.
 
I don't think the question with Wegher is whether or not he had enough talent to play. I think it was more that he wasn't comfortable earning it. Some people get an idea in their head and can't shake it. It's a mystery what's going on inside this kid's head. Hopefully for his sake everything is okay.

Fail
 
Kirk Ferentz stated last August or September that "We're a better team with Brandon. I hope he comes back." Does KF lie? Does KF blow smoke up your skirt?

Now, does BW3 hurt or help team chemistry? idk.

Personally, I missed him last year. I would prefer to have him as a Hawk for 4 years.
