His QBs were bacon, mcnamara and broken Gronowski

It’s extremely weird to have next to the guy who is going to be a front runner for the Mackey Award.

Lol, first time following Ferentz and Iowa?

They play 2 TE's much of the time. This is a way of reflecting Ostrenga as a Senior and the fact both will likely start when they go 2 TE's.

lol!!! It’s just really fucking stupid.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

It's less stupid than getting bent out of shape about it

 

[Revolver]

I’m not bent out of shape. Dayton Howard has been on the team 4 years and there is no “OR” next to Tony Diaz. Is Howard less deserving of this recognition?

I pointed out that it is dumb. Because it is.

 

[Thrawn II]

Revolver please lower your voice and calm down

I’d tell you get bent but clearly you already are

Yes, Howard is less deserving and also won't start. Again, part about the recognition but also not unusual for Iowa because they ultimately play with 2 TE sets enough that both can be starters.

Also, who fucking cares. @hawklax would be so disappointed in you Revolver.

 

[Gushawk]

I think Thomas Meyer plays more snaps than Ostrenga this year. Looks like a beast.

 

[R2-D2]

WTF - Most people have been posting here 15+ years, it’s not our first rodeo. None of this is new or surprising.

I’ve heard that said about Meyer but he’s only listed at 232#.

 

[Gushawk]

The Big Ten Network guys implied he was an NFL TE.

 

[douglasbader]

I’ve heard that said about Meyer but he’s only listed at 232#.

He might be the best blocking TE on the team already.

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

I’ve heard that said about Meyer but he’s only listed at 232#.

We talking Thomas Meyer? Because he’s listed at 248.

 

[Monster]

It is motherfucking game week! I could just feel a difference in my overall mood. Football is the best.

 

[Lee Beevers]

I’m so PISSED!!! the first game weeks depth chart is doing a bunch of stuff Kirk Ferentz always does!!!

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Gonna be hot as fuck. I feel like Brant, because I got offered free tickets. Any of you fuckers headed over?

 

[Gushawk]

Me and the young child will be there to celebrate the dawn of the Hecklinski era.

 

[kmurp]

I see that now looking at the roster, and that makes more sense. I must have read the depth chart incorrectly.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Do better for fuck sakes

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

This is game week, fellas. The offseason is over and we need to dial in.

 

[Gushawk]

Not knowing that young Thom Meyer is going to be an absolute menace is pretty darn sloppy

 

[cloudhawk]

Lol this is why I barely follow college football anymore

Great- then you won't be sharing many thoughts and takes!

 

[BBK]

This is game week, fellas. The offseason is over and we need to dial in.

Im taking one game at a time and recommend all of you do the same

I’m bucketing them in 3 segments. That’s the best way imo

 

[BBK]

Don't ruin this for the rest of us!

 

[bihtime]

I will be in attendance. Can’t remember the last home opener I was in town for.

 

[Kamala]

A little over 100 hours away. Now that Lil’ Kamala is a U of I student (I don’t raise no gd Tavern Hoks) me and the Mrs. are once again season ticket holders for the first time since 2014.

Tavern Hawks are repulsive in every conceivable way.

 

[Monster]

Tavern Hawks are repulsive in every conceivable way.

That's not even close to the most repulsive thing about me.

 

[RazHawk]

This is probably the best TE depth Iowa has had since Hock/Fant, I hope they run a lot of 12 and use the shit out of the TEs in the passing game.

Pods never fails

 

[jbincr]

My late wife and I moved back to Iowa in 1985 and I’ve had season tickets ever since. Haven’t missed a home opener in 40 years and will be in section 104 Saturday, if’n the creek don’t rise.

125 09er

Agree but it’s weird to actually be excited about three WR. If RVZ, Diaz and James are all out there, then only one TE can be.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

That's not 100 percent accurate

 

[Talkin' Goat]

That's not 100 percent accurate

Yeah I guess empty backfield would work.

 

[brantshawks]

5 Wide Iowa is what they use to call jr's wife.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Yeah I guess empty backfield would work.

Put Zach Derby wide.

I can't imagine not attending a school and then investing so much of your life and emotions in the success of their sports teams. Tavern Hawks are hangers on of the worst kind.

You’re a liberal user of ketchup, aren’t you?

My uncle has went to every game but 2 or 3 since 1971. It's his favourite thing to do in the world

Well you and @Lee Beevers buttfuck each other, and I don't judge you.

 

[KitKatApples]

Nor should you

 

[Captain Willard]

I can't wait for Saturday!

 

[Monster]

Sweeeeet Baby Rays, Holmes.

kudos on finding a higher fructose condiment option

 

[Bovert]

I fucking love ketchup
