I thought I’d drop this little nugget for you guys. Always cool to see the other coaches supporting each other!

I wish there was a way to get our heavyweight suited up to play a game or even just a series. Maybe make it an annual event: the wrestler game. How much could go wrong to stick him at nose guard for three downs? Seriously? I still love that Stevie Johnson came on and played on one of our better teams.....one of my favorite Cyclones, and I love stories like his or Lannings that make things not boring.
If I was OC and saw a team do that I would run a trap on him first play. He might rethink his 2 more plays.
We would run stingers in those situations. If a Dlinemen got mouthy in practice or hit on somebody’s girlfriend, we would run one at them in practice
That wrestler kid for UNI at noseguard did pretty good against us.....and our OC had, what, 8 months to prepare for that.
Wait, are you telling me a wrestler, who doesn't normally practice with the football team, played against us for UNI?
You’re thinking about this all wrong. Hide Mackall back there on punt team. Fake it. Direct snap to him. Let him sneak around the side for a 20 yard gain. Brilliance!!!
No, he's a multi-sport kid too. Brinkman .......he won at least one state championship. He did OK if I remember.....not great but not bad. He's on the short side for Div. 1, but still did good. I guess the point is I bet our heavyweight played some football past pop warner......I bet he didn't just wrestle and play tennis in the summer. he could take/and give hits. Any state champ Iowa wrestler at heavyweight could play center somewhere in Div. 1....Hell, Ferentz's kid is playing center for the freaking patriots.
