This is what happens when semi-literates have access to a keyboard.
We'll call this, "Example B."
From another thread:

You know who was a part of 1990 and 1991? Matt fucking Rodgers. That's who.Kirk Ferentz, except for the 1990 and 1991 high marks, has been a part of the 1981 to 2016 successes. He has been a part of some lows, as well, but he has left the program far more memorable, than not.
CID: 1-10 in 1999, 4-8 in 2012, so will we see a 2-1 start as this projection suggests? [This was the thread title, btw]
Legend: "Free Wifi Sunday" at the asylum is a tax on Rivals' servers, that is for sure.
CID: Happy Independence day to you. lol

As he raved about RB Akrum Wadley during Iowa's 14-13 win over Michigan replay.
Akrum Wadley, James Butler, Toks Akinribade and Toren Young will lead the running game most likely in 2017 for the Hawkeyes!
In 2015, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz was moved to run game coordinator, after a disappointing finish to the 2014 season.
How much of role did Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz play in the offense success in the win against Michigan?
Will the transition in 2017 be bumpy or can Iowa compete in the race in the I am a giant douche West division title?
Iowa's OL clearly improved from 2012 to 2016, over the 5 years Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz has been back.
Worse loss: 2012, PSU best Iowa 38-14 at home, despite the Hawks were a -2 favorite. Sadly, Iowa has lost 3 straight in the series.
Biggest wins: #2 Michigan in '16 despite +21 underdog
Next: 10-6 win at #19 Wisconsin in 2015, despite +6 underdog.
Northwestern in 2015 was ranked #20, when Iowa beat the Wildcats 40-10, as the #17 team. Last Top 20 showdown for Iowa, in the regular season.
How much of a role did Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz have in shaping Iowa's run offense over 2015 and 2016?
How will Ken O'Keefe and Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz and the other offensive coaches mesh in Year 1?
Phil Steele gives Minnesota plenty of props heading into 2017, despite the fact he projects Iowa with a stronger run game than the Golden Gophers.
What if?
Other concerns in 2017 for Iowa:
- The OL is hopefully be better in 2017.
- The running attack now with Akrum Wadley, James Butler, Toks Akinribade and Toren Young ...
- Iowa struggled in 1999, 2000 and 2012 in the passing game, in the running game at times and often on offense ... is 2017 more of the same?
- Of course, the best defense is a good offense in 2017, right?
Does Iowa have a Top 25 defense in 2017?
- The 2017 special teams certainly is a wild card for Iowa in all phases, except at long snapper?
- No Ron Coluzzi at punter this year.
- Trust in Iowa's FG game?
- Return and coverage units for 2017
- Depth in the interior defensive unit
- Coverage in the middle secondary, as Brandon Snyder is missing, at least for part of 2017?
Do any others in the Big Ten have a top flight defense?
- Ohio State
- Michigan
- Wisconsin
Minnesota and Penn State were Top 30 last year, but look at Nittany Lions in Rose Bowl, losses at Pitt and at Michigan in 2016.
Defense generally wins Championships, as Clemson and Alabama can attest to as they have enjoyed success nationally over past several years.
Iowa returns 8 starters from last year's 6-3 Big Ten team on defense.
BTW, did we get a tip of where athlete Trey Creamer will start out at Iowa. New WR coach Copeland didn't have Creamer over with his receiver unit recently. So, it appears Creamer will begin as a DB.
- 3 of 4 DL starters are back for Hawkeyes, but Iowa must see players step up, as Jaleel Johnson (7.5 sacks) and Faith Ekakitie have departed. Who fills the void of Faith?
- Iowa returns every LB. But, how good of an unit is it really?
- Is Josey Jewell an all-American?
- The secondary must reload, with four new players working as a unit. SS Miles Taylor was a former starter and CB Manny Rugamba appears to be Iowa's next star.
- Phil Parker knows how to reload in his secondaries, as his peers often remind us.
Iowa heads to the Big Ten media day on Monday and Tuesday, as Kirk Ferentz brings all-American candidates OG Sean Welsh and MLB Josey Jewell, along with comeback WR candidate Matt VandeBerg to Chicago.
Can VandeBerg be Iowa's version of Northwestern's 2016 WR Austin Carr, who went from former walk-on to Big Ten WR of the Year?
Carr caught 90 passes for 1247 yards and 12 TDs. Heck, Iowa fans would likely take 45 receptions, 6 TDs and explosive plays simply to open up Iowa's ground game?
BTW, Northwestern's RB Justin Jackson ran for 1524 yards and 15 TDs from his running back position. It is pretty nice in Iowa City to field a team with the nation's only duo who gained over 1k last season.
Clearly, Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Northwestern are ahead of Iowa at this point.
Iowa and Michigan State ended the 2015 B1Gs in Indianapolis ...
Soon, the road begins for 2017. The odds are barely what, 10%, like 2015 for Iowa.

The throw from Nathan Stanley to Matt Quarells appears to be one of the reasons Tyler and Nathan will continue to play out the starting position. Hmm.
Hmm.He's out of control right now.

Being P.J. Fleck
It will be interesting to see how this educator becomes "elite" in the Twin Cities ...
Talking to the camera, about recruiting services that "stop giving stars" since the player commits to the Golden Gophers.
Welcome to a 12 step course, the Spin Zone and the constant man of swag ...
He will push the envelop, as he talks about how 70 schools turned him in for a Camp Tape, that showed recruits, but since it is a Camp Tape, the Golden Gophers compliance office found the "gray" area in the NCAA regulations.
Not surprised Ivory Kelly-Martin was mentioned. James Butler was a huge transfer for 2017. I hope he has a great senior season, with Akrum Wadley.
It should be said Ron Coluzzi's story has opened the eyes to reach out to grad transfers. I think by season's end Matt Quarrels may be mentioned more, as well.
This program over the next 5+ years is going to be on the rise. However, the Big Ten will provide more than its share of hurdles.
2013 was an 8-5 season, and the three senior LBs set the tone. Iowa won at Nebrantska to get the monkey off back.
What if? 2014 would have not had such a huge loss? The personal impact of a death in the Ferentz family must have played a role in some of the ebbs and flows?
Did it contribute in 2015 to the character shown in the Class of 2015?
As mentioned, Kirk Ferentz does it the right way. However, never say never that ill cannot occur. Iowa has had setbacks in the program, in the athletic department and at the school.
There is a lot to be proud of the Hawkeye program. There are some that view 19 years as too long. However, the past 39 years or 44 years, when I began attending games at Kinnick has been special with Commings, Fry and Ferentz.
Iowa will be looking at another methodical season like 2015 or 2008 or simply 2017, which will make its own memories in Hawkeye history.
Here's to success to Nathan Stanley, Tyler Wiegers and his Hawkeye teammates in 2017. Chuck Long is right, we will see and likely need both QBs this season.

Maybe if he stopped after the first paragraph.That was actually coherent

*mythological?Iowa will be looking at another methodical season like 2015 or 2008 or simply 2017, which will make its own memories in Hawkeye history.
I'm sure that Stanford offer is coming shortly.If he wants to stay close to home for family, Iowa would be a solid choice. If he wants to play in the SEC and for Nick Saban, then Alabama is certainly #1.
However, for his NFL prospects, neither program would be bad. Iowa has done well putting both OL and DL into the League. Iowa has an excellent reputation, as does Alabama and Stanford.
OT: How many shirts actually go to 3rd world nations
. We hear it from time to time, but was really happens to the other team's championship shirts or any event where two sets are printed, when only one will ever be used here?
Does anyone have any interesting trivia or backstories on this subject?
And then moreChris Doyle does appear interested in technology, so his innovation has taken a different angle.
I suspect the discussion of the individually fitted helmet may have included Doyle's input, as well.
Change for the sake of change vs. keeping it simple or basic? Doyle doesn't appear to be stuck in a previous decade or does he?
Hayden Fry - 20
Kirk Ferentz -now approaching 20
Chris Doyle - now approaching 20
Remarkable in another sport, Darien DeVries had to wait 20 years to get his first head coaching job. Sometimes it is better to wait?
Correct me, hasn't Phil Parker entertained a couple of other options over the past 19+ years at Iowa. He also is near 20 seasons at Iowa.
DC Bud Foster at VA Tech began there as a position coach, as Phil Parker became a GA at MSU back in 1987.
It is remarkable to see longevity examples in intercollegiate atheltics.
Luigi "Geno" Auriemma born March 23, 1954 in Italy. Since 1985, when Kirk Ferentz was entering his fifth season, as an OL coach, he entered his head coaching position at UConn, as women's coach.
Wow, talk about longevity in intercollegiate athletics
. Yes, they broke the mold in my household
As I listen to Maroon 5 Misery (acoustic version now) in the background, ha ha.
Yes, I am a TMI poster! Such is Life
Back to subject ....
Chris Doyle, Kirk Ferentz and Phil Parker are heading into a remarkable 20th season at Iowa.
Who were Hayden Fry's S&C coaches over his 20 at Iowa?
Glass is certainly half full with Doyle and our S&C program ....
However, we are not #1 as a development program, but we likely are near top in NFL readiness. Alabama and Stanford are pretty good in NFL readiness, as well.

cidsports:Which team had Matt Rodgers?
Matt was a junior in 1990 when Iowa beat Michigan in Ann Arbor. That was a fantastic trip to the Big House. Loved it!

Ok he has to be to fucking with us a little bit on thisCID is just saying it’s 50/50 whether Iowa has a great year or a standard year.
“the I am a giant douche house”
yep
Taliban Banks 4 TD runs and Tim Dwight 3 receiving TDs in Iowa's 63-20 win. Win 136 for Hawks under Fry.
