It had to be tough on Ulis. Fran's always got his eye out for new talent at the guard position.
I heard that just last week, Coach offered a Falbo Bros driver a preferred walk-on spot, after Fran noticed his fluid movement and start/stop capabilities, as he dodged the rocks that the McCaffrey family were throwing at him for taking longer than 30 minutes to deliver their pizza.
It's the harsh reality of playing the guard spot at Iowa. There's always some 6' 2" kid from Solon waiting to replace you.
