Is there any official word that Park is back at practice or is everyone just taking a random tweet as gospel.
When will Jacob Park return to ISU Football
- Thread starter IceCyIce
- Start date
That's what I'm wondering. I hope it's true, more for Park's sake than anything just because it would suggest that whatever he had going on, he's made some progress in addressing it.
Someone with a username danielyp confirms that the Daniel Park retweet did not come from a relative. Hmmmm.
If he is back with the team that is great news. I sincerely doubt you will see him in uniform for the rest of this season if in fact he is back. He is a very good QB when he has his head in the game. He is also very mobile and escaped with his feet several time when playing. Park has all the tools of a pro QB with some issues holding him back.
For no other reason than we need someone else at QB if Kempt is not able to play at all this week. Noland seemed very well prepared and ready to play.
I don't care who starts next year as long as Texas gets destroyed. They aren't even that good. I'm still agitated that ISU lost to that sorry team.
I think it's realistic to say that Texas will be good in the nearish future, which just last year didn't seem to bode well for programs like ISU. Funny how that changed in one month--can't expect to beat them every year or anything, but the hope is ISU continues to ascend in talent/winning culture and regularly goes toe to toe with the conference's best.
In all fairness, when some random person tweeted that Park was suspended, it was received the same way and most people discredited it...then it turned out to be mostly true. Not saying this tweet is true but you never know..
I really hope Park gets his **** together and graduates and moves on and is very successful.
However, I do not think he should start next year even if he is "healthy" then. Stability matters in a position like quarterback and I'm not altogether confident that Park can finish the season. I'd take a less talented qb with a higher chance of going the distance.

So are we to believe the stories leaking out of the university?
Supposedly, Park has another baby on the way with a different gal and he was smoking something to keep his nerves through the situation and it all became too much. Evidently he has been dinged on multiple urine tests.
Doesn't sound like a warm fuzzy but lets hope that something changes for the positive. All things point to an open scholarship for next year.
My concern is for Jacob to get his life in order, get clean, and then do what is best for his future.

There's no guarantee of the less talented qb going the distance. Have you followed Iowa St for the last 10 years? What happens when your less talented QB gets hurt halfway through the year?
