Wasn't Duke Slater the aid that worked in the same Quanset hut with Sgt Carter on the Gomer Pyle show?

Corporal Slater. Same guy. Named a football field after him.

Hunter Deyo’s family says hello. After the day of reporting that nonsense, any ounce of press credentials he had were gone.

Barnes probably guaranteed him a spot in their "propaganda hall of fame" if he helped peddle that little lie of his

Duke Slater

Corporal Gilbert Slater, better known as "Duke", is Gomer Pyle's best friend in the Marines. Unlike Gomer, however, he has few scruples and is not above putting one over on Sergeant Carter, much to the consternation of Gomer. Eventually, Duke attains the rank of Corporal. Gomer Overcomes the...

What did I miss with this Deyo story?

Basically an Iowa reporter said he wouldn't qualify at Iowa and some speculated that reporter was told this by the Iowa coaching staff. It was more or less Iowa fans trying to feel better about themselves since Deyo committed to us. It all appeared to be BS as Iowa and Iowa State have the same academic requirements.

Nobody west of Des Moines?

You mean Nebraska?

This is an awesome award.

Why? An Iowa media award? BFD.

 

[Cydkar]

What did he do to get this award? Wash Dockerman’s car every week?

Oh, he washed something of Scott's.

Interesting words from Petras. This was exactly what Leistikow wanted I’m guessing.

Petras tell your mom not to read message boards, sheesh

Did Chadly ask KKKIRK if BF’s job was secure? Doesn’t have the testicles to ask that one as it would jeopardize his credentials. Let the meltdown in IC commence!

 

[Rogue52]

Chad Leistikow restricting responses on that tweet is funny.

 

[IceCyIce]

Interesting words from Petras. This was exactly what Leistikow wanted I’m guessing.

I'm glad my kids are no longer in sports for this reason. Made it through their entire HS and college careers with no significant injury, and quite successful. It's tough being a parent of athletes.

Hlas' game story is the typical 'what could have been'.
But he really goes all out for those crying tavernhoks by opening and closing his article reminding them that the mighty hoks were once rated #2.
Pigs do fly in the state of Iowa.

Padilla likely to enter the transfer portal tomorrow then. Hawk fans about to melt down on local radio this coming week at the prospect of yet another season with Petras at the helm.

That's a really, really classy answer.
Feel for the kid.

I really like Hlas but “what could have been”?! Today was the only loss that wasn’t a total curb stomping. What could have been was about 4 more losses if their opponents would’ve caught a break or 2.

Agree, but Hlas is smart enough to know what sells with the tavern hok brethren.

I agree 10-4 was realistically about best this team could be.
