Rutgers player from Iowa

Any chance you guys can send us more "big uglies" like this guy??? Look forward to seeing him anchor the OL the next two years.

Injured Rutgers center Dallas Hendrikson: Knee injury was a blessing in disguise

My cousin played high school football with him.

That school (St. Ansgar) won State football in their class this year.

I'm not sure how he got past Iowa and ISU.

He went juco for 2 years, said he had no offers out of high school so he wanted to get his stock up.

I live in Seattle now, but he is from my hometown. Met him last summer. Seems like a nice kid. Everyone that I know who knows him says great things about him as a person.

Tough break getting hurt. I hope he is a two year starter, and I wish DH and Rutgers well following the bowl game.

Iowa Western, right? Lots of D1 talent is coming out of there these days.

Also, I knew this thread would draw the Mitchell County natives out of the woodwork.

Well he was all set to be our starter when he went down with the knee injury. Sounds like he's back to 100%, and that a year in our S&C program is gonna do wonders for him. (Which it has for many of our linemen!) Although we could have used him this year, it's looking like he'll be the rock of our O Line for the next two, which will be the silver lining from his injury.

Yea, he's in my Land Economics class. He's pretty cool.

I don't know the guy whatsoever, but just based on his size and where he's from, I would not advise getting into a drinking competition with him.

Al, this comment and your other comment on Mitchell County are spot on, and there is now coffee all over my computer screen. Thanks!

Nothing wrong with being from Mitchell County and as to your drinking post... Im going to have to agree with you on that also... Living in the county has its perks.. I was able to play football and wrestle with Dallas in high school for one year (his freshman year). It was fun to watch him mature both on the field and the mat. He comes from an amazing family and is a great person. I hope to see him succeed out east.

No problem!

Back in college I had a buddy from the Griswold/Walnut area (sw Iowa) who always claimed that no one could out drink people from southwest Iowa. He eventually set up a case race that pitted two teams (2 guys to a team) from north Iowa v 2 teams from sw Iowa. There were guys from Osage, McIntire, and Elma on the north Iowa team.

It was a landslide victory for north Iowa. Of course, in such a competition the only winners are the spectators.

Its great to place to call home, especially if you're a farmer. Great soil.

Another kid from St. Ansgar (Ryan Hannam) played TE for the Seahawks. Suprising amount of football talent coming from such a small town. Scaled down version of A-P.

Former Hawk QB Matt Sherman was from there as well.

Yes it is, and yes I am.

I found your post about the osage elma and mcintire hilarious. There are some boys from the east side of the county that know how to put them down. Those of us on the west side of mitchell county might be a little more relaxed but we seem to get together and have a great time in Stacyville in July.

Ahhh, Brat Days. I remember getting absolutely smoked there when I was 14, and running into my JV Football coach who was as drunk as I was and all he said was "you better not still be hungover when camp starts." My cousin (who was 16 at the time) had gotten some orange crush and Five O'Clock to make screwdrivers. He made mine last, and when I looked down into the cup, it was completely clear. He just goes "sorry, I ran out of pop". That was rough!

As a McIntire native, I take no responsibility for the occasional Riceville meathead who had to be a tough guy at Brat Days and start a fight right on the tennis courts.

I would agree that western Mitchell County is a little more chill, and I like that. Those of us from the east side of the county get a little bit of that crazy Howard County influence!

Those of us on the west side are not inclined to claim Riceville anyway as the county line runs right down the middle of that town. Although I have played quite a bit of softball in Riceville and Elma over the past few years and for the most part they seem to be good people.

One of the reasons to stick around on the tennis courts was to watch someone from Riceville start something, they were very good at starting and very bad at ending the altercation.

Those of us on the west end of the county have really started to enjoy the Cancer Benefit pool tournament in January and the BBQ Bash in August. Both take place in Carpenter.

Isn't the Red Man Inn the Madison Square Garden of case race battles?
