They don't have to pay everyone and there is no minimum

I see what you did there, St Paul. Very sneaky. Well done, Sir.

Could those guys be flexing their triceps any harder? 🤣

Nice! I wonder if the football team has their own version.

As Midvale Dave taught us, Iowa is PigF*cker U. I guess that’s what was missed in my previous comments. I thought it was implied.

Iowa is an excellent school (for Pig F*ckers, including Brendan Sullivan).

Thanks for breaking it down, @TheC.

Ferentz is such a cheater.

So, what you’re saying is that kids at Iowa aren’t making a bad 40-year decision, right?

(We can all be thankful that ~99% of the population does *not* want to work on Wall St.)

[Usually the terms are ‘reach’ (maybe I’ll make it) and ‘target’ (I’m right in line with who is there) and ‘safety’ (I’m better than 75% of the kids there).]

Anyway, we’ve got football to talk about.

Watching the Big Ten Preview,

It appears that the QB1 is Wright and OLINE is Tiernan, Herzog, Bailey, Thompson, Wrather from left to right. Seems like Knox working with the twos which was a surprise. WR3 and WR4 are Johnson and Ricky A.

Cam Porter was a really dynamic tailback as a freshman.
He was shifty but sought contact and tried to annihilate anybody in front of him.
He delivered serious punishment to anybody under 230.
Then he severed his right ACL and meniscus in practice.
He missed his sophomore season after a major reconstruction.
As a junior in 2022 he was clearly not the same tailback, slower, less explosive, less shifty.
He improved somewhat in 2023, but in my opinion was still not back to where he was.
Of course, the offensive line can make a tailback look bad or better than he is.

Hoping Porter gets better blocking and has a huge season.
