August 15, 200520 yr Iowa ranked 12th.. that sounds about right. Gotta get that DLine some experience and figure out who our RB is. We have about 5 guys fighting hard for the job.. whoever emerges will produce.
August 15, 200520 yr It says Marques Simmons. 902933[/snapback] Unless the writer of that article is Kirk Ferentz himself, it hasn't been decided yet.... but thanks anyway. I'd put my money on Albert Young.. atleast I hope thats who it is. Incoming freshman Shonn Greene is a freak of nature. Simmons is a bowling ball. Any one of those 3 and I'll be happy. Damian Sims, Marcus Schnoor and Sam Brownlee are supposedly in the running but I doubt they'll get many carries.

Ouch. It said that Simmons is supposed to come back strong from injury. And Drew Tate is supposed to be a monster playmaker the playmaker. Anyway, best of luck :thumbup although schedule isn't easy(Ball State, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Ohio State, Illinois, Purdue, Indiana, Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota).
August 15, 200520 yr Iowa is going to be quite good this season. I can't wait for them to come to the 'Shoe though...revenge is waiting. We've got quite the fun little non-conference schedule this year. Miami of Ohio to open, Texas at night, and then the aforementioned Lynell Hamilton and SDSU come to town. And I must respectfully disagree with Buckeye's take on Michigan. I hope they go 0-11, I don't care what their record is when we play them, I don't care what they're ranked, I just want to beat them. And it's always funny when they lose to some nonsense team they're not supposed to because their coach sucks. I hope Wolfe and Harris run for 300 on them, I would laugh with hateful glee.
August 15, 200520 yr YES!!!!! Wyoming is rated, Mountain West conference title, here we come 902853[/snapback] That will belong to New Mexico! DonTrelle Moore and Hank Baskett.. I can't stand our QB.
August 15, 200520 yr In The Triangle: 31. NC State 72. Carolina 98. Duke also the "Mr. Irrelevant" game as SI calls it is FAU vs. FIU :lol
August 15, 200520 yr Can anyone fathom how a team was 2nd to last in the whole NCAA in rushing yet finished in the Top 10?
August 15, 200520 yr Can anyone fathom how a team was 2nd to last in the whole NCAA in rushing yet finished in the Top 10? 903147[/snapback] Yes. Then again, I watched a team go 10-2 and win the Fiesta Bowl with one of the worst offenses I've ever seen in 2003, so I can relate.
August 15, 200520 yr Can't wait for our game Hugg.. just wish it wasn't so early in the season. 903154[/snapback] Tell me about it. One thing I do know though, if we're 4-0 after our game... it's on.
August 15, 200520 yr Author Hey, Krenzel was a stud! So was Clarett(SP). Anyhow, I assume you two are talking about Ohio State and Iowa, which sohuld be a really good game, although it looks like Ohio State has the harder schedule leading up to the game.

All eyese on the Big House, so when we beat them it's on and on and on and on, SUN.

We need to win our games, who cares what they do?

August 15, 200520 yr And Krenzel was not a stud. 903182[/snapback] For the 02 team he sure as hell was. He played his role perfectly and had alot of big gains with his own two legs and big play after big play during the season. There have been alot more players with alot more talent that will never be the winner Krenzel was.

The offensive line was garbage and we ran too much anyway. This was the year McMullen brought us back vs. Penn State and people here were actually calling for him to keep the job. I really don't know how we won 10 games that year.

It was gut renching watching KSU come back and keeping it a game because of that god awful prevent D.

We "had no chance" and we ran them off the field. Kind of like the Alamo Bowl this past year, although we were just underdogs, not TD+ dogs. That game only won me about 600 bucks. If Tressel has time to prepare, I'll pick us every time.
