I still can’t get over how slow Petras is

[CamelTones]

He transferred

 

[ChipHilton]

He transferred

Has he not found a school?

Doesn’t appear so.

One of TOS claiming that Deuce Hogan has been really good this spring and is making a legitimate push.

 

[douglasbader]

Lol, so we have everything from media members saying that everyone other than Petras is a total disaster (including Hogan) to now that Hogan has been really good and is making a legitimate push.

Spring!!!!

Deuce getting 1st team reps, and while Petras is still considered the starter, Deuce is impressing.

He'll definitely be the backup come game one. Say goodbye to Padilla.

I can't dispute he's getting runs with the 1s. There is a photo of Deuce in a pocket with Linderbaum blocking from yesterday. Although maybe Linderbaum is taking some snaps with the 2s since Fenske flamed out.

The report is from Eickholt, he's not particularly prone to fall in line

It's not just Linderbaum in the shot, Tracy and ZVV are also starters and Jacobs is known to be in the mix for a starting spot.

I hope he's like CJ, but can stay healthy.

 

[CUIHAWK]

Let's let him for one play and take a photo.

You think that KF and staff would purposely stoke a QB controversy to troll us? That seems slightly out of character...

Eickholt is claiming multiple sources on this.

 

[douglasbader]

I agree, was more laughing at the range of reports. Eickholt's boss was the one saying that everyone but Petras was terrible.

It's a joke, Bob.

Jay Niemann also said Yayha Black is now up to 300 pounds. 6'6 300 lb. DT. Holy shit.

 

[Silky Johnson]

No one will replace Nixon, but if he can be even solid in the middle that would help a ton. Also wouldn’t be surprising for someone like Shannon to take a big step forward.

***If*** Iowa can get above average QB play this year, they will win 9-10 games. Please God let it happen.

Hoping for Christian Ballard Part 2

Hoping for Christian Ballard Part 2

That dude might have been one of the best pure athletes to ever play here.

6'4", 285, ran a 4.75 40, could play inside or out.

Yep. I was always suprised he didn't have a better NFL career.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

It's a joke, Bob.

HaLo is srs bizness

 

[BVHawk95]

Yep. I was always suprised he didn't have a better NFL career.

I think he was on track to, but he stepped away after 2 years so he could go sell weed.

[Floyd R]

A nice 35 yard pass from Deuce to Hutson @ 1:36

Also Alex Karras. But not Webster

 

[Kerky]

Also Alex Karras. But not Webster

Was wondering why Karras was not already in the HOF, then remembered the dark clouds of gambling and association that plagued him and that probably impacted things up to this point.

Remembering Lion defensive tackle Alex Karras - Vintage Detroit Collection

In the pages of The Sporting News, Alex Karras was once described as “Jackie Gleason wearing cleated shoes.” The defensive standout who played tackle for the Lions for a dozen seasons from 1958 to 1970, minus one year when he was suspended for having bet on NFL games, passed away in Los Angeles...

He was just a pawn in the game of life.

He retired early. His heart wasn't in football. Kind of soft on the field. Never had Clayborn's desire.

 

[CamelTones]

Other than when he lifted that Penn State offensive lineman on Angerers interception.

didn’t he also knock up some crazy chick and have twins

 

[HiawathaHawk]

He was kind of like the 6’10+ guy in basketball that was always good but didn’t really love the game. Crazy gifted and a good kid. Just had a lot of interests and football wasn’t the top priority.

he had a kid shortly after college with his gf but I dunno about the girl being crazy. I know he left her when he went to the NFL.

Enough about Sean Sonderleiter.

Jealous of those of you who get to attend Kinnick on a nice spring day today.

It’s a little chilly now, bud. But I’ve got enough nips in this flask to really warm things up.

Driving in on Dubuque with a shit eating grin. Damn I missed this place, and holy shit is it crazy to see these days. High rises everywhere

I might swing by then too. Got some errands and yardwork today I want to get to.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Who is the receiver #12? The roster I’m looking at doesn’t list a 12.
