You didn't love the 2017 class? Look at the contributors already!!! And that's not including some DB's that I think are going to be good before they leave (if they stay). We've had a problem with that at times.
Ben VanSumeren to Michigan
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
Now Seth Wallace can go find a different LB to knock him out of the game next time Iowa and Michigan play.
If you're not my friend, you're my enemy

I was joking, as @cmhawks99 gwrciously pointed outNow this is the stupidest thing I've read all day.
2014
2015
2016
2017
2018
The 2014 class would graduate this year if they didn't redshirt, correct?

This isn't a new thing, it's been happening forever. And absolutely no one cares about a job opportunity you once had and the analogy you're making isn't relevant. The kid is going you his dream school, any one of us would have done the same thing if we were all being honest.
The only thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth over this whole thing is how the principal and his high school coach acted. When Michigan came calling chances were pretty slim Iowa was going to hold on to him being he was from Michigan.
It remains to be seen how much he's going to play at Michigan, so there's that. And if he was truly elite, wouldn't he have gone to Minnesota?
Who cares. Will never touch a blade of turf in the big house, likely even Kinnick. Will end up at a Western Michigan or something similar. Following the kid on twitter, he sure does love himself. Good luck to ben but no huge loss for Iowa imo
Let’s leave Dave out of this.. I’m sour he was never poached by Iowa still!

Honestly this kid was the most non Iowa player I've seen in many years. He makes Eno look good. Let's think about this for a second. He commits to a national level program with a photo of him on a weight bench with make-up on. Then says I'm going to sign my loi on a weight bench. Blair asked him what his favorite part of the visit was and he said the photo shoot. Seriously this guy is an attention whore if I have ever seen one, total locker room cancer.
Ben wants to play on the offensive side of the ball (TE or FB). Iowa has plenty of them. Iowa, of course,had him slotted as a LB.
Oh, well.
Gentlemen he was “barely “ a 3 Star. More a high 2 Star. So he decommits, so therefore really no big loss at all. We will survive w/o the kid.
What’s really intriguing is that Harbaugh can’t recruit and is falling back on Iowa’s leftovers to sum up his class at the last min. This is a tell Vegas style that Harbaugh is reeling. Not getting it done v tOSU and that will be his demise. Grab your microwave popcorn and enjoy the UM debacle!

Where were all these posts when he was committed to Iowa? I'm not devastated he left...seems like kinda a non story.
Enjoy being recruited over by Harbaugh. Tell Oliver "hello" for us when you're sitting next to him on the bench, for the next 3 years.
Schrodinger cat joke, I would presume?
Myself, I meant the phrase in the sociological, colloquial sense. My apologies for being so banal. What can I say, I have a soft spot in my heart for mr. wonderful.
Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't. Can you be alive and dead at the same time?
Given that a cat is 'technically' a classical state of matter - all the ill-effect of decoherence have done their damage. Thus, we needn't worry about all the cool properties of superposition states.
The metaphor of a dead-cat versus an alive-cat was simply intended to both elicit a visceral response by the lay- populace while simultaneously emphasizing how fundamentally different spin-up versus spin-down states are. The very fact that a quantum state can, in fact, be in a superposition state ... simultaneously a mixture of very different physical states ... is part of what makes quantum mechanics so cool (and so challenging for those early pioneering physicists to develop intuition for).
I'm so so much simpler than you. Quantum physics suffice for me. The effects of randomness in nature. We studied Planck's constant at Berkley. I graduated U of Iowa. Spent 10 years at Moody's. Then went to school at Berkley. Now watch football in Not Cal.
Pfft. Then don’t commit. It’s a dick move. I hope he never sees the field. Honor your commitment little boy.
So you'll be rooting against the 4* QB we just flipped from Oregon St. and hoping he doesn't see the field during his time at Iowa I'm guessing?
Probably goes to Ohio State and wins the Heisman, being asked one day in the future, "did you ever consider Iowa?", and he will say,
"Who?"
If we don't win a national title in the next 4-5 years, somebody needs to take the blame.........
The odd thing is that much of quantum mechanics is inherently deterministic. The perceived indeterminism arises more out of the interpretation of the states and also the very fact that we measure quantum things with instruments that are effectively "classical" objects. If we were to "measure things" with quantum devices and judiciously track the quantum correlations in our measurement apparatus - we'd never really have to deal with things like "collapse of the wave-function." Of course, the scenario I paint is essentially impossible, because the state-space for quantum physics is so large (effectively infinite-dimensional).
Anyhow, I did grad school over at Santa Barbara ... James Van Allen always gave me crap for going to such a beach-bunny school. However, while he was occasionally setting fire to his print-outs in his 7th floor office back in Iowa (he'd still sneak smoking his pipe in his office) ... I was enjoy hanging out with the likes of Ed Witten and Stephen Hawking, something like 100 meters from the ocean, at the institute for theoretical physics (I think that it's now referred to as the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics).
I don't get too upset by recruiting one way or another, but the kid had the worst commitment video I have ever seen when he committed to Iowa.
