It's official... being a RB at Iowa is like being the drummer for Spinal Tap. Perpetually doomed.
We'll still give 'em a game.

Coker out for Iowa vs OU in Insight Bowl
- Thread starter Max57
- Start date
I only saw one Iowa game, but is it that big of loss? Imo the OL made Coker as much as Coker made the OL. Iowa must be in sadder shape than I thought if they do not have a guy that can run through a hole and fall forward for a yard or two more.
Yep, those astro physics courses are cake, how could anyone struggle. Seriously though, I could see a kid, even though he is smart, have problems just due to the time commitments of football. If that is the case it sort of sucks that it is so hard to use a scholarship to actually get a useful education.
Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
This is what I was thinking. What the heck do you have to do to violate conduct rules at Iowa? In the past the only guys that were suspended were guys that clearly screwed up, selling drugs, raping woman, stealing, etc, or were caught using roids..... KF is famous for deferring legal matters until the bowls are over....
Coker seems like a good kid and a great student, so this surprises me.

Coker is pretty darn good, think of Woody only faster and stronger. He is a guy that turned a lot of 2 yard gains into 4 or 5 yard gains. It doesn't sound like a lot but that allowed Iowa to have a lot of makable 3rd downs and a lot less 3 and outs.
Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
Like suspending both DJK and A-Rob before the bowl game? Interesting theory.

More disciplinary trouble for the Hawks...
right before their bowl game:
Iowa Hawkeyes suspend Marcus Coker for Insight Bowl vs. Oklahoma Sooners - ESPN

Re: More disciplinary trouble for the Hawks...
Already posted multiple threads.
Edit: Looks like they've been merged into In-state rivals so most people won't see them.

Did I miss my turn? I did take a quick nap not long ago, so I'm not sure.

Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
Or like Albert Gary's robbery and only getting a three game suspension, with further punishment pending the court decision after the bowl game?
Oh wait, that's Iowa State.
Or like Jacob Lattimer assaulting a police officer and only missing one game?
Oops, that's also Iowa State.
I could go on, but I think I made my point.
I love the posters passing judgment on Iowa, claiming KF's "lax" standards and sweeping things under the rug. If you're going to do that, make sure you're not currently residing in a glass house.

Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
Not to nitpick or derail what you have going here, but "assaulting a police officer" can be as little as telling the cop to "F*** off". Now, if it was battery, it'd be a different story.

Aww. I took a peek at the recent threads and didn't see anything. I had too much to do and didn't have enough time to get on CF much today. :sad:
**** me I guess.

Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
since he is famous for it I am sure you have an example?
Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
Do you really want to start an Iowa State player did this and only got this compared to an Iowa player did this and only got this type of battle?

Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
No argument, and personally, I was OK with both players' punishments.
I just think it's a little ridiculous, given ISU's recent off-field transgressions, to make comments like that.

Re: Coker suspended for Insight Bowl
I understand. Honestly, it seems that school A will have a couple of problems, giving school B's fans some ammo. School B's fans will say a bunch of stuff, and then some players from school B will get in trouble, giving school A's fans ammo. It's a vicious cycle.
