    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    It is confusing, but KF was quoted as saying there are "special circumstance" that would allow a 6th year and the Tony fits the bill. I don't make the rules and I don't run the team, I just pass on what I have read.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Call it what you will, but saying coaches never say anything but positive stuff about their team is a asinine statement at best. But once again, I will challenge anyone to find the last time NP was quoted saying his D would be better. If you know Iowa ball you know NP is a straight shooter and...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    A redshirt and a medical redshirt gives a player 6 years. Moeaki came in with Jake in 2004. Jake would have been a RS Senior this year. Moeaki will get an extra year from a medical RS. You do the math.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Really? You had better tell KF that, cuz if you followed Iowa ball at allyou would know he purposely comes out and downplays his teams chances every year. Man, do you even know the name of the stadium they play in? "Coachspeak"... I'm still rolling with that one. lol

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    The process is a tad complicated, as one would think, but just don't be surprised to see him in an Iowa uni in 2010... unless he stays healthy all year, then he'll be packin for the NFL.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    That's the idea. He had a non-medical RS early and KF was quoted as saying it looked really good as far as him getting a medical RS as well. I feel bad for the guy, he has huge talent but can't stay healthy.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Tell you what, since you fancy yourself an expert lets make a little wager. I will bet up to a grand that Iowa's D will be statistically better this year than last. Put your money where your mouth is... Better yet, learn to read between the lines. KF is rarely big on players before they have...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Find me when the last time an Iowa coach has said they will be better, smart guy. Man, it's easy to play devil's advocate when you don't have to burden yourself with facts. lol

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    ISU isn't exactly Iowa either. 4 players do not make a team. Norm Parker was quoted last week as saying that his D should be even better than last year. I think the coach might have more of a clue than us fans. Iowa puts a o-lineman or two in the NFL every year, yet we continue to win games...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Bmuff, you are being blinded by your hatred of the Hawks. Iowa loses more key players than that every year... how do they keep making bowl games? lol You don't know much about how college ball works if you think teams of any caliber fall off the map from losing 4 good players. And Moeaki...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Moeaki was a Junior last year and will more than likely be granted a medical redshirt, thus givng him 2 more years eligibility. Fletcher is not as athletic as Bernstine, by the end of the year he will be better.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Teams lose great players every year. I love how some people think that when a great players leaves that the entire team will unravel. How did ISU ever win a game after Seneca left? Bottom line is that losing 4 good players isn't a big deal. It's actually a small number.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    This thread asked for a breakdown of the 09 Iowa team, which I was happy to oblige. However, I think most college football fans understand that anything can happen in a rivalry game so I doubt that the Iowa players, staff or fans will take it lightly. Even if someday ISU became the stronger...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Allow me to clear this up for you all so you know exactly what you'll be dealing with come September. First off, the loss of SG will not be as big as people think. SG was at 80% when we played you guys last year and Hampton/Brinson (you will know that second name very well by the end of the...

    You are obviously the kind of person who would argue with someone what shade of blue the sky is, just for the sake of being "right". I have no interest in "winning" any form of debate with you, the simple fact is FR was fast and considered to be fast by anyone with a IQ over 30. If someone...

    This James White kid looks like he could be a gem. A Texas RB with receiving ability. If your new OC runs the same offense he did at Rice, this kid could make some noise. I'd say from watching your boys this year you need a stand-out RB and some meat in the trenches. Maybe score a good juco or...

    Not all Iowa fans say that, and when they do it's usually out of spite or ignorance. The ISU/Iowa game is a big one for BOTH teams, I don't care what anyone says.
