Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
They moved them because MLB sets the minor league schedule now and they could not guarantee the stadium would be available.
They moved it up so there could be a dead week between baseball and football starting.
Just saw this local news drop here this afternoon. They talk freakin' Vikings all season long up here. Not a Viking fan but cannot avoid it.

Well, you are surrounded by a bunch of Scandinavians. Either that, meat raffles or lutefisk you can read about.Just saw this local news drop here this afternoon. They talk freakin' Vikings all season long up here. Not a Viking fan but cannot avoid it.

Injuries suck. Hope he pocketed some decent cash. Has always seemed like a nice guy.Just saw this local news drop here this afternoon. They talk freakin' Vikings all season long up here. Not a Viking fan but cannot avoid it.

My extended family are hawks. (Forgive me). Actual alums and donors, which is rare in hawk fandom. Big Ten snobs. It's insufferable.
But it was unanimous for all of us that Hockenson was clearly the superior player. Fant made more big plays, but was much less clutch, more finesse, and did most of his damage in space. He's not really a red zone guy. Hockenson was tough as nails. I hated watching him play because he would rip the opponents heart out and he enjoyed it.
Hopefully a good experience being on a pro squad for a couple of years even if injured one year. Making a squad at all is pretty good for a 7th rounder. Hopefully our 7th rounder Purdy can find a spot and stick around some also.

No wonder he hasn't been on here in awhile.
The absurdity of it all even to the point of thinking Iowa did this on purpose for press coverage.
No, I could have worded it better, but at iowa, you rarely see them get guys that are not NFL prototype size. At ISU, we may get guys that are a few inches shorter than what the NFL wants, or a step slower. You don't see iowa taking a chance on someone like JaQuan Bailey, who was a really good college player, but not an NFL talent. No doubt someone like that could have played for them.
Everyone wants players that can help them win. I just think that iowa has a slightly different strategy in that they go more for NFL type measurables. Getting guys drafted pays off in recruiting. I don't think that you can argue that they've done less with more NFL talent than most teams out there. Still, they've been very successful.
99.9999% of people had no idea you could attend a high school playoff baseball game in IC and watch the Hawkeye football team practice from the stands instead. Now they do. I expect to see a LOT more people going to these games now to watch the football team workout.
I didn't think there are supposed to be organized team workouts right now are there? Maybe that's just practices.
Someone might see players having to run around with garbage cans on their heads.

Iowa home games against ISU and Michigan are sold out. I'm guessing Wisconsin will sell out as well. Probably be hard to sell out SDSU and Nevada. Depending on how the season goes I could see Wisconsin selling out along with NW and Nebraska.
Tickets to the general public go on sale tomorrow.
