I could go back one year if I wanted to take shots at KF. Bison, bowl games, etc. I'm saying him recruiting kids with character issues is no surprise
If I wanted to take shots at ISU football, I would write a book chronicling their successes every year from 1913 to present. And it wouldn't even be that hard....the book would probably only be about two or three pages - including the preface from the all-time wins leader Dan McCarney (with 56 wins).

Writing a book about a rivals football team makes you seem worried

I get what you're saying because ISU's been so bad/marginal at best with football, but get back to anyone when anyone outside of the participating teams/schools can mention pretty much any Outland Trophy winner.

What about Doak Walker, Thorpe, Mackey or Groza Award winners?

Williams was declared ineligible according to the clearinghouse. He then went to Purdue where he had legal troubles. No legal issues for the few weeks he was at Iowa but Cy Twins knows that.

Keep obsessing about Iowa. Not sure you can do anything else.

Sound the Sirens.

Look even one of those linky things Cy Twins.

So KF recruited a guy that couldn't get eligible and then got arrested for rape? Whoa

Any suggestions for finding additional content? I could probably include the glory years of 1911 and 1912, but would that really get anyone excited? How many people are still alive, that even remember those great teams. Ughhh....back to the drawing board.

Maybe you could start by saying something original. We all know ISU isn't a powerhouse football team

Couldn't name any tbh.
Cue the response of something about how of course, because ISU never has a player up for them, which is true.

I literally don't know winners of any of them....not even sure I can name the last few Heisman winners...I think the kid from Louisville was in discussions last season.

Did Tim Tebow win one?

But I bet you can name the 5 finalists for the Cousy Award this past season since Monte was "robbed" of it.

So, after 365 pages, has anyone convinced anyone else of believing anything different than what they thought before this thing was started? No? I'm just waiting to see if Frostydickheadmilitia can actually put two pages of anything together.

Who knew Cy Twins wouldn't read the link? Who knew? Nobody knew. I guess no one ever needs to give you a link ever again since you don't read them anyway. I am willing to bet it wont even slow you down from demanding them though.

Now Cy Twins can return to obsessing over Iowa and Hawk fans will poke fun at him for it

Kirk recruits some really questionable kids that's for sure

Actually I can't, and I have no idea who won it either. Nice flame job though.

I know his stats were up there, but what kind of idiot constantly uses stats and numbers to justify their reasoning for debates on what makes a player good, anyway?

I live out of state and discuss sports with plenty of major Big Ten Homers...I reference Robert Gallery when Iowa comes up as that's from a time when I knew a bit about Iowa football...they've never heard of him.
