for the past few years ,we have had some goliaths on our offensive line-brandt,zehr, the two 320 and 330 lb 6-7 boys that played tackles-none these goliaths could hold a block for bret meyers-meyers had to run for his life trying to make a pass-no holes were opened up for hicks- was hicks even a running back. were these goliaths strong or physically weak-or were they poorly coached. back in the dirty thirty days we had farmboys that were 200 lbs and they could block. does one generation create a generation of weaklings in our iowa farm boy population or is it we had to work our asses
off behind a baler loading 140 lb bales of hay onto a hay rack for our weight training programs in the 50's i had to work on a baler brhid the cyclone great JIM DORAN and jim did not stop.doran was one of the strongest athletes i have ever been around. he could pick up two 120 lb bales of hay and hold them with his arms extended for minutes or more than an hour.
we should be able to recruit all of the big farm kids to iowa state for study in agriculture and possibly for football. why don't we have some of these
300 lb giants in the starting lineup for the cyclones or "was marty fine's
and blarney cotton's coaching techniques not good enough to coach to develop a superior offensive line for the cyclones??????????"
