Seems like I remember them (coaches) mention a lack of LBs available to help with special teams also.I suspect that in either case they're looking for LBs who can line up and rush the passer off the edge. I keep thinking about that commend Banker made about upgrading defensive speed. He mentioned recruiting ends who can move to tackle, LBs who can move to end, safeties who can play LB, and corners who can play safety.
Not in the least. You can have your fake February rankings, and we'll take actual victories on the field and Top 10 final poll rankings.Regardless of where these 2 end up, I predict our class ends up ranked higher than Iowas after signing day. Has to be disappointing to Hawk fans considering they are coming off their best season in their program's history, and ours was our worst in 70 years.
OK. So we will see you back here in a decade or so.Not in the least. You can have your fake February rankings, and we'll take actual victories on the field and Top 10 final poll rankings.
LOL if we are blessed with your schedule in the next few years, I can guarantee we will get a top 10 finish as well. Stanford showed you weren't anywhere close to one of the best 10 teams in the country. The one great team you played showed just how you stack up. Hell you were lucky to beat us and we sucked this past year. We will keep getting better, whereas Iowa just peaked.Not in the least.

That doesn't work in your favor. Y'all pulled a Blo Peelini in the Rose Bowl, congrats.Not in the least. You can have your fake February rankings, and we'll take actual victories on the field and Top 10 final poll rankings.
Get off a husker sight stupidNot in the least. You can have your fake February rankings, and we'll take actual victories on the field and Top 10 final poll rankings.
I believe you are correct. Not sure how it would work for the Hawks but I'm hoping we find out.If they both wanted to go to Iowa, Iowa would make room for them. On that note, I hope that Nebraska lands Farniok something terrible.
Try not to misspell a word when calling another person stupid. The Hawk Fan will beak(not the evil one!) the heck out of that scab! Never let them get 1 up on you.Get off a husker sight stupid
Really? You got blown out by Purdue and you would be top 10 with Iowa's schedule?LOL if we are blessed with your schedule in the next few years, I can guarantee we will get a top 10 finish as well.

Learn to read, I said in a FEW YEARS. In case you didn't notice we need a QB, and we had a walk on playing in the Purdue game. JUst curious, if 10 point loss is a blow out in your book, what the heck are you calling that debacle in the Rose Bowl?Really? You got blown out by Purdue and you would be top 10 with Iowa's schedule?
Iowa definitely got blown out in the Rose Bowl. However, when you are down what was it? 42-16 to Purdue? You got blown out. You can score some late touchdowns to make it interesting and spin it how you want, but the bottom line is BLOWN OUT.Learn to read, I said in a FEW YEARS.

55-45 with a backup walk on QB.Iowa definitely got blown out in the Rose Bowl. However, when you are down what was it? 42-16 to Purdue? You got blown out. You can score some late touchdowns to make it interesting and spin it how you want, but the bottom line is BLOWN OUT.
There's always a few oddities every recruiting year.I'm not implying anything, but it's really strange to me that a good football player like AJ would consider playing football at Iowa when he has offers to play elsewhere.
Iowa puts offensive linemen in the NFL, that is a fact. Currently, Nebraska does not. It's not the 90's anymore Charlie.I'm not implying anything, but it's really strange to me that a good football player like AJ would consider playing football at Iowa when he has offers to play elsewhere.
John Raridon > any OL committed, or soon to be committed, to Io_a.
This is a pretty ignorant comment. Nebraska has five current NFL offensive linemen (Incognito, Sirles, Qvale, Long, Slauson). Iowa had seven. Don't act like it is some huge advantage.Iowa puts offensive linemen in the NFL, that is a fact. Currently, Nebraska does not. It's not the 90's anymore Charlie.
I know the Pro Bowl is a bit of a farce, but last time I checked we both have the same number of O linemen starting this year... and Wisconsin has 2! Guess these guys should be going to Wisconsin, not Iowa or Nebraska...Iowa puts offensive linemen in the NFL, that is a fact. Currently, Nebraska does not. It's not the 90's anymore Charlie.
Hyde - the 29th highest paid strong safetyThat's a good point with highly paid players, Shawn.
Looks like Iowa would probably go with LB Chad Greenway, OG Marshal Yanda, DT Jonathan Babineaux DT Mike Daniels, RG Brandon Scherff as elite/highly paid players at their positions. Some Iowans might thrown in RT Bryan Bulaga or S Micah Hyde, but I think they are a bit behind.
It'll suck, for either school, a ton of time and resources have been used on Farniok. That's recruiting though.agree - great get
HTO what are thoughts regarding Off Tackle if we don't land Farniok - thanks
Did you say actual on field victories?Not in the least. You can have your fake February rankings, and we'll take actual victories on the field and Top 10 final poll rankings.
As a Vikings fan I can tell you took a paycut to stay with the franchise. He is by far the weak link on the line backing crew and most in purple would love to put him out to pasture.Yanda is widely regarded as the best guard in the NFL.
Greenway looks like he took a 3/mil. Paycut to make his team better. Probably elite if you can afford to do that.
No, no, no. Greenway and Yanda are almost identical to Suh and LaVonte in terms of talent and status. Iowa produces the very best in all things NFL....As a Vikings fan I can tell you took a paycut to stay with the franchise.

Well they couldn't sell out their stadium for every home game last year, when they were winning.while both fan bases can be a little over the top they are passionate overall--one caveat, I am not sure Iowa would have 92,000+ (or however many it takes to fill the stadium) in the building with a losing record.
You sound like an ex-girlfriend of mine. I was talking zero smack, though I'm TOTALLY talking smack to you right now, ssmill777. CoolJust for the record, it wasn't what he said - but how he said it. It was smack.
I think your right.Maybe it's the angle, but No. 1 in that picture looks like he should be playing Pop Warner football.
Well, the debate over Farniok is over but I think your initial point is importaant However, I would caution those who think Iowa will go away next year. They have some key players back and I think they will come in with a chip on their shoulders. I also think we will still be in transition next year, we will be better but we are still a couple years away. Interestingly enough, I think the Tulane QB transfer will be key as a bridge between TA and POB--to me he is a key get for coach in this cycle. Thanks for you post, you brought up some good points.It is a stupid discussion, either team Farniok picks will get him to the NFL if hes good enough, Hawkeyes or Huskers can and will get him there but saying if he doesn't pick our team or vise versa then he won't get there is retarded. Now competing for titles, his best shot is the Huskers. We had a down year this year but we are more consistent then Iowa, Iowa is down, down, down, have a killer season (due to a beyond weak schedule) and then watch next year, they'll go 7-4 or worse. There one good season doesn't mean there suddenly on the rise. Watch at the end of next season, i bet we are the better team with the better record and hand them a 10 point loss or worse.
