I wish him the best. He seemed to have awesome potential. Always wondered what the whole story was, but no need for me to know it.

So they're protecting Council Bluffs from Omaha? Seems backwards to me.

This is where my dad got the idea for the Reivers - The Reivers (1969) - IMDb

Drummer, had you grown up in SW Iowa as I had, you would know what a Reiver is, for sure.

No doubt. That makes it kinda cool...a regional reference like that is a unique identity.

If all goes well he should be able to absolutely tear it up.

Cool. I will add that to my college team nickname trivia file.

Maybe I could win a few bets with that one. I think some people will think it is a kind of dog, like a Retreiver!

Looks like I got this one last week. Figured what I had heard was true.

Take me to the reiver throw me in the water

So when he runs between the tackles I bet the announcer will say "A reiver runs through it".

 

[MelroseHawkins]

All I can say is talk about a fall from grace. Man, he had so much potential at Iowa. I wish him the best.

So, would it be out of the realm of possibility for him to end up back at Iowa next year?

 

[SDK46]

At first I thought the thread was entitled: Now a receiver

I think he'll make an NFL squad someday.

 

[HaydensHawk]

I assume he is going to CC for one year then looking for D1.... Maybe back to Iowa - who knows... Who would have thought Shonn Greene was going to come back.

 

[ColumbusHawk]

Wegher only can play one year at Iowa Western. After that, he has two years of eligibility remaining without a redshirt year. Technically, his redshirt year was last year.

Is Iowa Western a Division 2 football school? I see that it is a junior college.

Well, I guess looking at wiki, they are just considered a community college football program, not D anything.

Ok, maybe they are a D-1 community college in football:
