    Missing Identity

    I agree regarding Gesell. He is what I call the "glue guy", the one who IMHO is a coach on the floor or at least has the potential to be. He is still growing into his own as a "floor general", but has all of the intangibles that make him a great leader, We are so much better organized and...

    Middle Linebacker

    It is BS to throw JM under the bus or to make personal attacks or question his ability or his character. The only valid points I saw were the reference to the adjustment made to have him "spy" the NIU QB, and how he seemed to get lost in the wash when players got bunched up in pursuit or took...

    Thought on next week's ISU game???

    Lots to be concerned about, but also have faith that the staff and players will clean alot up this week. That being said, here's my general overview of what needs to occur. 1) O-line play- JVB (even though he held on to the ball too long) needs to stay upright and have adequate protection in...

    OT: Alex Karras joins lawsuit against NFL

    trapperjon, you sir are tragically uninformed, and your admonishment to "buck up" is seriously out of line. What is happening in the NFL is long overdue. There have been way too many head injuries, concussions and other serious types of injuries that have debilitated ex-NFL players that the...

    UNI/IA State

    Didn't ISU at one time lay claim to "inventing the computer"? UNI will embarrass them!

    Miller: Open Practice Thoughts & Observations

    Bend- Don't get me wrong, I'm not "down" on Keenan Davis, I'd just like to see him develop like McNutt did his second year as a starter @WR. Perhaps that's setting the bar a bit high, but this kid has the ability to be as good or better than the Arrington kid out of CR who played for Michigan a...

    Miller: Open Practice Thoughts & Observations

    Guess I'll chime in here and add my comments from Saturday, & will try not to repeat too much as far as the comments that have already been made. QB's- Vandy is light years ahead of anyone else. Wienke would be my #2 mainly because of his arm/accuracy. Derby, I just plain don't like at QB...

    Best college FB book (exempt IA) that u ever read

    It's an older one but a good read; "Bootlegger's Boy" the story of Barry Switzer and his time as Oklahoma's head coach. A good friend who's a lifelong Sooner fan recommended it to me.
