First Scherff now Ott

[Beyerball]

it looks like a pretty good hit by a pickup in the video, but he does get up pretty quickly and doesn't seem to be limping. Hopefully he is okay.

Don't forget that it was SR who crash his moped before the Iowa game last year and he played.

That video was another player couple years ago. Hope OTT is ok though.

Yeah he played, but he played like ****.

Are you thinking that video is Ott? It's not. That was last year's accident.

That was about 4 years ago now. We watched that in my methods class senior year.

For the life of me, I don't know why Kirk doesn't require helmets. Other UIowa athletic teams have helmet rules, but not football. He does ban twitter, but no helmet requirement.

helmets are bad for instagrams.

 

[CyCloned]

Opps, I guess I should have read closer. I do remember that now. Hopefully Ott is okay.

 

[DodgerHawki]

So the news site says uncertain. Is he for a fact out?

Probably won't know anything official until the game starts on Saturday. Iowa is usually pretty tight-lipped on these things. If in fact it's a concussion the team probably won't know until Saturday.

Ott has really come on this year, by far the most improvement on the DL. 3.5 tackles for loss in two games, couple of sacks, forced fumble.

Is that a reliable source?

If I recall correctly back in the day they were the first to report the DJK stuff. Everybody poo-poo'd them until other sources confirmed it.

Yeah, living over here, unless it's outright sarcasm, if you see something from KCJJ as news, they stand behind it and it's probably accurate. They're not big (they're local, not one of the media conglomerates), and they're huge hawk fans, but they're not homers either. They'll blast the school when they need it. They're also not the typical 'local' radio in the fact that they're just burnouts that can't do something else and aren't good enough to get picked up by the conglomerates, they're just old school radio guys that decided to cash out of that system and do what they loved. They are straight shooters.

Marc Morehouse reporting on twitter that Ott will be fine. Not seriously hurt.

Or some motorcycle safety courses? No sure what rules are in Iowa but anything over 50cc here in Minnesota requires a motorcycle license and testing. Under 50cc and anyone with a drivers license can jump on one and go get themselves in accidents.

Same here, last I knew. Mopeds also have to stay under 25mph and have an orange flag at least 5' in the air. I used to get pulled over for speeding and my flag being too low (it was on an extendable CB antenna that when all the way down was at about 4'8"...) Being a member of the Rubber Knife Gang meant living on the wrong side of the law... :biggrin:

Good news that he is ok. Same goes for Scherff, hope he is ok.

Thanks for not being ********, fellas. Too bad some of our own fans can't display the same class over here.

@marcmorehouse: Hearing Ott is, in fact, rubbing dirt on it and should be OK. Seriously, doesn't sound serious.

 

[Cychedelia]

How can he rub dirt on a concussion?

 

[clone52]

How can he rub dirt on a concussion?

Rubbing dirt on his head might be a sign of a more serious head injury.

 

[Cyclonepride]

How can he rub dirt on a concussion?

I told my son yesterday to rub dirt on his strep throat. I'm a bad parent.

From KF meeting with the media it sounds as if Scherff might be able to play and Ott is good to go. He said Scherff will be day to day. Good to hear.

EDIT: Here is the article with the info about KF's presser:

He totally dodged both questions, his responses were pretty funny. Good to hear both are ok but I doubt we see either one on Saturday.

And he played...like crap...

This is just a game - get these kids healthy and for goodness' sake sacrifice some chickens to the Angry Iowa Moped Hating God - he's a distant cousin to AIRBHG but saw a power vacuum and is swooping in to establish his new reign of terror

 

[cytown]

Ott and Scherff out........

Scherff won't play. He is a maybe for the Pitt game and hopes to be back in time for B1G play.
