All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

@YeahBuddy

I went to an event yesterday and it included a tour of the locker rooms. There is no TOE countdown, just a countdown until the next game which is SDSU. I'm sure the week of the rivalry there will be a countdown for TOE but there is a continuous countdown clock until the next game.
I said this weeks ago
 
I will take a respected journalists word over yours, anonymous message board poster.
It wasn't there. I was at the event yesterday as well.
There was a Cystic Fibrosis benefit (young girl named Charlie) at the Jacobsen Building at 11:30 that Hyvee catered. Campbell arrived at about noon from Dallas, and had to get back on the plane to head back at about 1. Joel Lanning was there to give an update on what he's been up to and when he heads back to camp (23rd).
Just after 1, we did a tour of Jack Trice, locker rooms, Bergstrom.

2 things of note to make everyone feel good. Campbell came back from Texas for this event only. Second, the money raised specfically is sent to Univ of Iowa for clinical testing, and the child's Grandmother said a cure is within grasp.
 
Well, it sounds like whoever is recruiting and coaching WRs needs canned.

They were. Iowa took scholarships from other positions to give to WRs while Greg Davis and Bobby Kennedy were here, and none of them planned out. That’s one of the major reasons why they were both fired.

Are you expecting much different this year?

Aside from Easley and Vandeberg (who was a shell of his former self last year due to injury), Iowa’s next best receivers last year were both true freshmen. I think it is fair to expect improvement out of both of them, as they both came in as good athletes but very raw. It sounds like they have made strides during the offseason and have looked impressive, but who knows. I am cautiously optimistic. Don’t think it can get any worse than last year (barring injury).

Was Davis fired? I thought he retired?
Quote from Kirk:
In a statement, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said, “I cannot thank Greg Davis enough for what he has meant to Iowa football these past five seasons. Greg possesses a great football mind, and he brought a perspective and expertise to our program that made every one of our coaches and players better.

You never answered my question. Kempt came in and got wins last year vs the easy part of our schedule?

Davis wasn't fired

Believe it or not I agree with this assessment.

With that said, I still think you may be a little overestimating the rest. Stanley has NFL potential, the OLine is probably average to a bit above average at best by national standards. Fant as I said before is one of the top TE.

Even if the receiver corps were the worst in P5, I still can't see that position unit having that much of an impact.

I think it is very fair for fans to expect promising young players to look improved after an off season of training.

There are several young players I expect improvement from on ISU's roster.
