Okay so everybody sit then so it is FAIR. I guess that is the way of the world now. Everybody gets a trophy. Everybody is the same. How is it FAIR that a graduate can go play right away and non-graduate cannot? At least my proposal allows more to play right away if they so desire. Can't they borrow money like the rest of us kids had to?? I paid my way. But maybe kids nowadays can't even find the means to pay for 1 year???????????????????????????????

That’s obviously not the way of the world I guess.

You mean the prototypical Iowa TEs that just signed NFL contracts for $20 million in guaranteed money?

C'mon man it was a joke. Who in their right mind thinks of Oliver Martin as a prototypical Iowa TE? I think of guys 6'4" or 6'5" like the ones in your comment. Use your brain.

I really don't remember this but if it's true I'll eat crow


I don't remember any official news reports about us being interested in Martin. Maybe there was something said in one of the pay-forums.

The first I knew about Martin was our camp. He was darn impressive. Best on the agility drills that I've ever seen in person at a camp. In the very last best-on-best under the JTS lights, Martin put a great cross-over move on the DB and Coach Hofher gave him a beautiful toss for TD. But I don't ever remember anything public about an offer or even interest in Martin by ISU.

Just a heads up to the OP, one of the nice features on this site is the ability to edit the thread title. Just in case you wanted to change it to something like 'popcorn farts' for instance.

Almost as much as you’ll miss Montgomery and Butler?

TBH I think a lot of that depends on the o-line. If our run blocking is improved we shouldn't need a David Montgomery type to gain yards. If we can be a run first offense that will completely open the passing game too. I do think we have enough weapons to replace Butler. Will we miss his ability to hit the home run? Absolutely but from an all round production standpoint the guy is replaceable.

So he was super impressive at the ISU camp, wanted by a lot of other P5 schools including blue bloods, but Campbell didn't want him? LOL
