Brandon Wegher

[hawktrooper1]

This board loves it some “what could have been” talk and if we must indulge, I’d say Brandon Wegher is the single biggest FML of the Ferentz tenure. Had he played all four years the trajectory of the program would be significantly higher. For all the “next man in talk” there are some dudes who are simply great and can’t be replaced by any warm body. Wegher could’ve been our McCaffery. (Sigh)

4 times... (99,00,06,12)

3 times if you only consider the regular season.

Yeah, our depth at RB sucked for the years following ... and some of the guys we ended up landing were either mediocre themselves OR they didn't stick with the program. If Coker hadn't gotten in trouble ... and if Wegher would have stuck around ... that would have been one heck of a one-two punch!

Ya, kid made it from Morningside like the poster above said.

What could have been.

Was turning into one of my all time favorite Hawkeyes.

I'm not sure the whole story, but he did get an Iowa track athlete pregnant. I knew her sister and she told the stories. I dont know if they still are, but they had gotten back together years later.

They've been married for two years.

Might not be anymore.

Never forget the run to seal the orange bowl, lightning speed, pulled away from blacks, whites, all races on the planet. Kid was fast.
Took my son, froze our asses off.

"That's a full grown man playing tonight."

Ranks up there with "Superman wears number six and he plays for the Iowa Hawkeyes."

Yeah tough to argue with Waterloo East undefeated for 6 years with a tie. & 44 pt average from 1965-1971.. i might be biased being from Waterloo thou

You truly are the beacon of light. I have seen one person rank all of those teams that high.

1000% correct about the 93 squad. Ahh the good old days of white and red checkered endzones! 2nd best team all time was the 96 City team, 3rd was the 94 team. The Mid 90's put Larry Brown and the Little Hawks on the football map! Hope they can make a new round of Glory Days soon.

Yessir. 93 City High had 8 all-state players. Four more were all-state in 94 that weren’t in 93. That’s 12 players on the 93 squad that were among the best in the state. Nobody has ever been that good in Iowa. If so, I’d like to see it.
