I'm sure Hawk fans can create something more realistic than that... can't they?  The current ones are ok to make fun of, but there have to be Drafts out there that never made it to Final Production.

In Case You Missed It, jNU Beat Iowa in a Bowl

"The Iowa-Northwestern Outback Bowl vs the Alamo Bowl controversey continues on the boards. Iowa fans are raving about their big win down in the Outback - that's fine. But NU Fan Chuck Herron points out that it was too bad for both bowls bottom line that Iowa didn't get a shot to show what they could do against the much better Missouri Tigers, sending the Wildcats to Florida last week."

KARL KLUG - BIG TEN DEF. PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Hahahaha, Seriously?!)

[Bumped. Congratulations to Klug, of course, but he only dominated the second half of an absolute laugher. Don't most guys who win POTW, like, start?--OPS]

DEFENSE:

Karl Klug, Iowa, SO, DE, Caledonia, Minn./Caledonia


After missing most of last season due to injury, Klug posted career highs with nine tackles and two sacks while also forcing a fumble to help the Iowa defense post a shutout against Florida International. The sophomore defensive end’s second sack forced a fumble that was recovered by Iowa on FIU’s final drive. The Hawkeyes limited the Golden Panthers to 56 rushing yards and four-of-15 on third downs. Iowa posted its fifth shutout in Kirk Ferentz’ nine-plus seasons as head coach and its second straight dominant defensive outing, after holding Maine to a field goal on Aug. 30. Klug earns his first weekly honor.

LAST IOWA DEFENSIVE POW: LB Mike Humpal on Oct. 15, 2007

All Legal Issues Aside, The New Football Roster is Up

Hawkeyesports has updated the Football roster.  The incoming froshes have their numbers; Shonn Greene gets his old one back.  Fun for all.  Although Marcus Wilson and David Blackwell have pages on Hawkeyesports, I don't see them listed on the roster... yet.  Probably nothing to worry about.  Other notes:  Paine is listed as a WR, Staten at LB, and Riley Reiff is still on the team.

HERE ARE THE NUMBERS FOR THE INCOMING FRESHMAN COURTESY OF HAWKEYESPORTS.COM

No. Name Ht./Wt. Pos. Year Hometown (Last School)
8 Trent Mossbrucker 6-0/190 PK FR Mooresville, IN (Mooresville HS)
10 William Lowe 5-9/165 DB FR Cleveland, OH (Glenville Academic Campus)
13 DeMarco Paine 5-10/175 WR FR St. Louis, MO (Hazelwood East)
14 John Wienke 6-5/225 QB FR Tuscola, IL (Tuscola HS)
16 James Vandenberg 6-3/195 QB FR Keokuk, IA (Keokuk HS)
27 Jewel Hampton 5-9/200 RB FR Indianapolis, IN (Warren Central)
28 Shaun Prater 5-11/172 DB FR Omaha, NE (Central)
31 David Cato 5-11/190 DB FR Arlington, TX (Summit)
32 Adam Robinson 5-9/195 RB FR Des Moines, IA (Lincoln HS)
34 Jeff Brinson 5-11/215 RB FR St. Petersburg, FL (Northeast)
38 Brad Herman 6-5/225 LB FR Metamora, IL (Metamora HS)
40 Jack Swanson 5-11/180 DB FR Naples, FL (Naples HS)
44 Greg Castillo 5-11/175 DB FR Mount Laurel, NJ (St. Joseph's Prep (PA))
50 Khalif Staten 6-3/219 LB FR Brooklyn, NY (Lincoln)
53 James Ferentz 6-2/265 OL FR Iowa City, IA (City HS)
54 Steve Bigach 6-3/220 DL FR Cleveland, OH (St. Ignatius)
66 Casey McMillan 6-4/295 OL FR Billings, MT (Central Catholic)
76 Ben Thilges 6-4/260 OL FR Humboldt, IA (Humboldt)
77 Riley Reiff 6-6/250 DE FR Parkston, SD (Parkston HS)
88 J.D. Griggs 6-5/225 TE FR Piscataway, NJ (Piscataway HS)
89 Shane Prater 6-1/170 WR FR Omaha, NE (Central)
90 Jason Semmes 6-3/218 DE FR Clarkston, MI (St. Mary's HS)
92 Jonathan Gimm 6-3/235 TE FR Houston, TX (Westfield)
99 Joe Gaglione 6-5/230 DE FR Novelty, OH (Lake Catholic)

Pretty egregious error on Casey McMillan's height and weight (6'4"/295, who are they kidding?), but we'll let it slide as this is probably just a preliminary release.

How many days until kickoff?

BHGP ROUNDTABLE: Iowa Football 2008 (Part One)

This piece was meant to have been an all-inclusive, one-stop-pop roundtable discussion on the upcoming Hawkeye football season.  All four authors that contribute to BHGP were to answer 12 incredibly written questions and give their expertly expert expertise.  Seeing that I collaberate with a bunch of overzealous, pompous wannabees (I can only assume they were the same guys who, as kids, ran to the front of the class to be first to hand in their math assignments), this story is much larger than I anticipated.  Henceforth (yeah, big word, I know), this will be a double dipper.  Six questions now, six questions later.  Wow.  Fun.

EXPLANATION OF THE LEGEND:  If you were wondering about the basis of the icons for each contributor to the roundtable.  Here’s your answer.  I suppose I could have used everyone’s current avatar, but that would just confuse everyone severely.  The only logical thing to do was to go to Google.  It basically runs everything in the world, top to bottom.  The Google image results were studied and the most applicable images were used.  Sure, JHC gets a flaming unicorn and I get Pearl Jam rocking out on stage, but that’s randomization at its best.  If you disagree, go screw.

 

Now, without further ado, the questions…

 

Well, there’s a little more ado.  The questions are after the jump… so… make the jump… now.
