That article gave me a bit of a boner. What a luxury to have a proven backup at RB with the clusterfuck we've got at receiver.

Yep. Pretty good story right there.

Ferentz had an awesome dig yesterday:

Q: You have been at odds with the doing away of two a days.

FERENTZ: Yeah, I think I am finally coming to grips with it. We will have more discussion with the staff next week, but I think it’s finally starting to come into focus. We will make it work. Quite frankly my biggest concern right now is I am worried about the guys getting stale because of the longevity.

I do pay attention and I know the NFL has done this for a couple of years. I also noticed a trend that stuff trickles downhill and that hasn’t changed. The difference is that in the NFL they play four preseason games, so after a couple of weeks, we have a game on Thursday night, so it’s a different mindset. For our guys, it will be like driving across a state. I won’t name it, but we did it in one shot and went out to a wedding in Colorado and it was like man. That’s what I’m worried about.

You heard it here first:

That would be something if the grad transfer is a redshirt sophomore.

You stupid fuck Buffet.

I know everyone talked about, but it's been confirmed this is the guy. He did graduate in 3 years, and he will have 2 years of eligibility at Iowa starting this fall.

From same high school as Marvin McNutt.

You stupid fuck Dougie.

 

[The Full Monte]

Does anyone know if he's actually any good?

He can fog a mirror.

That's all we ask.

Lord knows we wouldn't want someone taking snaps from Nick Easley.

He is probably not very good but we're very much in a beggers can't be choosers situation with WR at this point unless a freshman or two is good right away.

 

[Tugboat]

Does anyone know if he's actually any good?

Combination of Randy Moss and Jerry Rice-so yes, he's good.

What a great Arnie commercial. (Assuming someone else saw it.)

 

[Brownzy]

This is so Iowa it's hilarious, but since New Mexico was such a run first team, one of his best abilities is his blocking. So he's essentially a starter from day one.

 

[Gushawk]

It's weird how these narratives begin with fans.

Out record under KF as a double digit favorite compared to other good programs' is tremendously shitty.

 

[CurdMan]

Good point. That gives me hope that he will actually have a shot at earning PT despite getting to Iowa so late.

Headline doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

 

[Match34]

"Peyton Football" doesn't quite ring as well.

 

[Herky823]

In 2008, Iowa junior incumbent Jake Christensen battled sophomore Ricky Stanzi throughout camp and the season’s first month. It wasn’t until the fifth week that Stanzi became the starter. He eventually led Iowa to three bowl victories.

Fun fact: this is the same number of bowl victories as Iowa State's entire program.

He is shitting on Nebrantska, although in the most boring Kirk Ferentz way possible

guarantee the next play TAj threw the ball 70 yards into triple coverage

 

[maintain242001]

Life would be good if we keep those guy to 20 carries or less per game

Uh huh

Camp hasn't started so I wouldn't read much into the comment.

Q: "Is it possible Mansell could start?"

A: "Uh, I doubt it but sure I guess?"

Everyone: PEYTON MANSELL MIGHT START OMG!!!!!!

I find your lack of beard disturbing.

My beard is in late season form.

First he gets pwned in the ferentz savant memory thread and now lime abruptly stops dhofr.

Not good.

Wirfs won the bale toss.

The pork tornadoes played Friday night and were fantastic.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

17th place at the NCAA track championships seems pretty good for Iowa. I don't remember the Hawks usually making much noise in track and field. Too bad the dude favored in the hurdles only came in 4th.

That's as high as they've ever finished, I believe. NCAA meets are a crapshoot somewhat and loaded toward schools with strong sprinters, which is what Iowa has become under Woody. He gets it.

Ogwo is transferring to TCU to run track there.

unless he was near I-80 he would have had to turn at some point

Who doesn't like to get a little boozy and drive a bit? It is actually kind of fun.

Wow this guy has James Daniels going in the first round at number 25 to the Texans.
