Strong, short, decent feet, OK speed... sounds like we had someone very similar to that about 7-8 years ago. How's his "hustle"? ;-)

I'm hearing good things about Johnson. How does he look, Marc? I'm really looking forward to seeing what Coker brings to the table when he's healthy... what's his status health-wise?

You may be looking at the front page of HawkeyeReport where they only list the highest rated commitments. If you go to the complete commitment list, he is listed there. http://rivals.yahoo.com/iowa/football/recruiting/...

I'd say Iowa has done a pretty darn good job at converting QBs to many different positions. Orloff should be no exception. Looks like a college athlete already with how fit he is after looking at the video. Could be another diamond in the rough for the Hawks!

GazetteOnline.com : My No. 7 -- 2002 Purdue

Thu, 8 Jul 2010 19:21:52 +0000

Best game I've seen in person. I still can't believe what I saw that day... 51 yd FG, TD on a blocked FG attempt, TD on a blocked punt, 5 yard catch and 90 yard run for a TD by a tight end, and a 4th and goal TD catch with a little over a minute to go. Unbelievable.

Yeah, Ladell deserved that game for sure.

GazetteOnline.com : My No. 10-- 2001 Indiana

Thu, 8 Jul 2010 18:41:31 +0000

This was the first game I made it to as a student at Iowa! Had it not been for a spectacular catch by Marquise Walker the next week (a catch that I witnessed about 10 feet in front of me from the front row of the South Endzone), we may have had that 2001 Michigan game at this spot in the list.

I think he was simply speaking about Iowa fans. For Iowa fans, Iowa is the only team in the state that matters. There's no pro teams, it's Iowa.. and that's it. It was a just a poor choice of words. It's not an easy thing to answer questions on the spot for the media, especially for young guys like this. Think how easily Stanzi's answer to Chris Myers question could have gone a different direction... thank god Stanzi is very good with interviews! Love it or leave it!

GazetteOnline.com : Top 10 games of the Ferentz era -- Let's hear your picks

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:13:51 +0000

I can't believe I left out 2009 Iowa @ Michigan State. That deserves to be in the Top 10.

GazetteOnline.com : Top 10 games of the Ferentz era -- Let's hear your picks

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 19:56:28 +0000

I would say...I would say... 10) 2000 Michigan State @ Iowa - First Big Ten win under Ferentz. Snapped a 13 game losing streak on homecoming against an MSU team ranked 25th at the time. 9) 2004 Iowa @ Penn State - 6 - 4 game. Ferentz making the call to opt for the safety and play defense was gutsy and genius. With today's style of football, we may never see a game like it again. 8) 2002 Purdue @ Iowa - I was on the sidelines for that game, one of my favorites I've ever seen in person. Special teams won that game for us, Dallas Clark 95 yd TD and GW catch, Adolphus Shelton interception to seal it. 7) 2004 Ohio State @ Iowa - Iowa completely dominated the 23rd ranked Buckeyes 33-7. Ferentz's only win over OSU. Drew Tate's windmill arms. 6) 2001 Alamo Bowl - Iowa vs Texas Tech - Gave Iowa their first winning season since 97, first bowl victory under Ferentz, and was a springboard for the magical run of 2002 and the Ferentz era as we know it today. 5) 2002 Iowa @ Michigan - 34-9... Gave Michigan their worst loss in the Big House since 1967. Big games from Jermelle Lewis and CJ Jones. 4) 2009 Iowa @ Penn State - White Out in Happy Valley. Kirk Ferentz's dominance over PSU continued as he is now 7-2 against them. 3) 2010 Orange Bowl - Iowa vs GT - Iowa's defense completely shut down the high powered GT offense. Big game, big stage, big win. 2) 2008 Penn State @ Iowa - Last second field goal to win the game over #3 ranked and undefeated Penn State. The win kicked off a 13 game winning streak for Iowa. 1) 2005 Capital One Bowl - Iowa vs LSU - The Catch. Enough said. Honorable Mention: 2002 Iowa @ Penn State 2002 Iowa @ Minnesota 2003 Michigan @ Iowa 2003 Outback Bowl - Iowa vs Florida 2003 Iowa @ Wisconsin 2004 Wisconsin @ Iowa

I'd be happy to see him grab 10. There's got to be a use for that 6'5 - 6'6 frame... especially being a 5th year senior walkon out of small town Iowa who's put in his dues. Rudy Ru...Donny Donny Donny!

I've been waiting to see Don break out for a while... I hope he gets his chances this year!

GazetteOnline.com : Poll: Who was the best hire in Hawkeye sports history?

Wed, 7 Apr 2010 21:29:20 +0000

Anyone who was responsible for the hire of Hayden Fry, Dan Gable, Lute Olson and Tom Davis gets my vote. Where would we be without Bump Elliot? I don't even want to think about it.
