Being more stable than Mad Fran is not exactly a resume builder.
My wife's family has a few tavernhawks in it. One has their son going to Iowa. Kid was home for the weekend and was telling us that his roommate helps with the equipment. He was getting in trouble because his job was to take care of the balls, make sure they are right pressure and they are where they are needed. He was always short. They thought he was actually stealing the footballs.
They went to a practice tape and found out he was not stealing them. Apparently Nate Stanley thought they looked like beef jerky and would accidentally eat one every so often. Now they require him to wear a helmet at all times while at practice so they can stop losing balls.

“Nate Stanley it is said never gives up his dead when the meals of thanksgiving come early.”
I think Barta should send letters to all of their opponents about this.
Co-worker's kid is an equipment manager for Hawk football. Reports are that Fant has attitude problems, also drops too many passes. Classic entitlement syndrome.
Not a hard thing to decipher for me. Sounds like Fant has moved on, and Kirk has done so in return. They have a fine replacement in Hockenson. I've heard rumblings well before this that the kid has an attitude issue.
Also, did he engage in the huge Iowa "no-no" of visiting somewhere after he committed? I seem to remember him visiting Nebraska after he gave his verbal. I imagine that didn't set the tone very well.

I was watching this live with a few Iowa fans of mine. Made me so happy
The funny thing about that play is that Hockenson should have been flagged for offensive pass interference. He literally makes contact with #7 while the ball was in the air taking him out of the play.
Wow. I bet I have seen that play a half dozen times and hadn't noticed what Fant did. Not sure that I agree that it is on Stanley. It is a timing play and Fant was supposed to run a short slant
I don't understand how it wasn't a false start. Seemed like at least three guys were still moving when the ball was snapped.
You don't try to call an audible with five seconds left on the clock on the road in Happy Valley. Stanley should have called a timeout or just ran the play they had called. There wasn't enough time to change the play without it being hectic. It was 1st and goal, either call a timeout, run the play they had called or throw it away.
Coaching is largely about motivating kids and getting the best from them. Sounds like KF and his son have failed to do so with Fant.
Unless Stanley had his eye closed until he threw it he would have known the timing was completely off. He panicked and hoped he'd turn around by the time the ball got there.
Call a timeout, throw the ball away, even taking a sack there is better than throwing into a broken play.
At least you have Stanley for all of next year too!
I think it is because that video seems to be faster than actual time. It would have been far better as a false start versus the int.
Fant was giving the audible to the WR. That was definitely on Stanley
Stanley said yesterday that defenses are keying on Fant and taking him out of the game which is opening up more opportunities for guys like Hockenson.
Ferentz is such a genius that he's one step ahead of the defense. Take your best player off the field and the defense doesnt have a chance to contain him. Brilliant!!!

Is it too early to make fun of the Iowa fans that put a "specialist" on the all Iowa team over Allen, Hockenson or Kolar?
