Iowa Football Recruiting

No one literally tests players’ 1RM. Everyone knows how that process works. Claiming that Epenesa was stronger in HS because his 1RM (which was almost certainly calculated using a 1RM conversion) was 315 is beyond idiotic when said player can now rep 225 pounds 17 times, and the same 1RM conversion that was used to calculate his 1RM in HS spits out a number much higher than 315.
1. I already said no one test 1RM anymore, so not sure why you brought it up again
2. The bolded part is all that matters. You have ZERO idea.
3. It seems you don't understand the difference between strength and muscle endurance

Lol - you say no one tests 1RM anymore, and then you immediately turn around and say you can’t be certain whether Epenesa tested his 1RM or not. Way to be consistent.

And literally anyone who has ever lifted a weight in his life knows about the difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance. You clearly don’t have much experience in either of those departments, or else you would be able to recognize how ridiculous a claim it is to state that someone who can rep 225 17 times might not be able to bench more than 315 pounds.

I don’t know what Alabama was doing with Purdy - hosting someone on an official visit and then refusing to tell them whether you would accept their commitment is pretty telling. Something about the visit clearly didn’t sit well with Saban.

As for Nixon, Alabama offered him sight unseen after watching his highlight video - takes a pretty rare and exceptional talent to warrant that treatment.

So you think Nixon is better CFB player than Purdy?

Yes. Just place your vote right here on whether Kirk Ferentz should be in the College Football HOF. The only requirement is that you put your jealousy and hatred for University of Iowa to the side. I have no doubt you will make the right call.
Now, now, now you are changing the words.
This is the question "if Kirk retires today, does he make the college football hall of fame?"

God you're stupid lol. You realize time has passed between when Epenesa was in high school to now right? In high schools all across the country you can find them posting 1RM videos. Never seen it in college. But way to still be an idiot and prove you literally know zero about health and fitness

See my point above how you are still are an idiot and know zero about health and fitness. Because whilst I have picked up many weights and train frequently, a statement like that from you proves just how idiot you continue to be.
 
You're definitely entitled to your opinion. I honestly believe they would make an exception. I think they would look at his overall winning percentage at Iowa (which is 61%).
Thought about it more, and honestly I could get passed not making the winning percentage. The thing that, IMO, really hurts/destroys his case is no outright conference championship. If I was a member on the board i'd be looking at his resume and seeing all these wins but no conference championship. It would make me question what happened. Did he just have the benefit of playing a majority of powder puff teams? If we are being honest with ourselves, yea, kirk has benefited from playing in an absolute cake walk of a division for years. Not his fault. It just is what it is. And Kirk has down what good coaches do, they beat those teams. But 2015 was his absolute best chance to win a conference championship. I mean my god that team had an escalator ride to conference championship game. They had to beat one maybe two good teams to get there. Then in the two most important games of that year, kirk and the team really crapped the bed. That just stings a lot. If Kirk goes and wins a Big 10 championship, he's in. But he isn't today because of it, IMO

In this post, you (a) used “I know you are but what am I” as a comeback and (b) called me an idiot while demonstrating your inability to put together a coherent sentence. Are you 12 years old?
