Toward the sky and not at anyone they would injure? James Vandenberg is an avid hunter, I'm sure he's killed bears with guns in addition to his use of bow and arrow.

Or is it okay that he likes guns since....

Really I don't see what the distinguishing difference is here. Please enlighten me.



Please. No more photos of bear/man sex.

Uh, I didn't take any gun safety courses but I assume one of them is "don't take a picture with 2 guns pointed at your head".

But I know that's just an assumption.

Ahhh, you just don't understand how a photograph and depth perception work. I understand now. I had been giving you too much credit.

What is with the JUCO running backs though? I thought that is a position we are pretty well set on. That would already be 3 this class, not to mention at least one that is a heavy lean us to commit soon.

Again, we lose our three "top" ones next year. You then have 3 in Standard, Nealy and Brown. It would be nice to have at least another, especially a power type. Jackson may or may not be power but he certainly isn't in the mold of Brown or Nealy. RS him and let him try to fill in for Woody like Hollis could have. Wimberly is dual purpose. He could do a bunch of different things.

So lets say in two years our defensive line is Coe, Pompey, Aka, and David Irving. I think that would be one of the better groups we have ever had.

Probably a good reason why he no longer has an offer:

He sucks at backing up a trailer?

They aren't pointed at his head. They are pointed to the sky and both of the guns are empty. I have plenty of pictures of me holding guns but it obviously isn't the best thing to put on the internet if you are a big time recruit. If he had committed to Iowa I bet a lot of people here would be singing a different tune about Rodney Coe and his gun picture.

I don't know if you can call them one of the better groups without seeing 3 of the 4 play.

He posted that when he was still supposedly coming to Iowa. Did not get the best reception.

You are probably right. He probably shouldn't have posted it without context - I'm not sure if there was a "did some target shooting at my buddy's place last night" posted with it.

I think it is stupid to condemn him for it now just like I would if he was/becomes an Iowa commit.
