Has anyone seen Mark Gronowski on campus and if so does he have the sling off?

[CRWash63]

I paid for my season tickets this week. I hate to see the money go but I Love the Hawks more than money. Same as last season sect.. 111. good views of the game from above the visitor tunnel. wow I didn't realize Mark played against Iowa in 2022.

Iowa won without scoring a TD - Iowa had a field goal and 2 safeties and SDSU had 1 field goal - big 7-3 win for Brian's offense.

 

[Birky]

I believe that was his first game back after his knee injury?

 

[BigOHawk]

Sling gotta still be on...maybe 2 weeks post surgery.

That fg was garbage. I wanted the 4-3 win.

Kirk in anticipation.

I hear this, but it was a good idea to pad the lead and put the game out of reach for the Jackrabbits.

But why win by more than you need to. So inefficient.

For votes in the Coach's Poll, obviously.

That was just Kirk showing off

 

[Greenway4Prez]

The good old “Gentleman’s Touchdown”. Wonder if we’ll ever see that again??

Sling should still be on, limited ROM but working with PT and will start getting aggressive probably after 5wks post. At least that was what I went through after my SLAP repair. After 3mths I was pretty much back to normal, it was my non-dominant arm so throwing was a non-issue.

Yup. Those points don't just grow on trees you know.

Hahaha. Now that's funny 🤣

GRONOWSKI WATCH 2025!!!!

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

I saw him at Jimmy John’s ordering the big tuna. Maybe it was the lighting or the angle he was standing at, but it appeared to me that his throwing arm has been amputated.

Good. That means the doctors can put whatever they want in place of his limb.

I vote explosive harpoon launcher. Nobody expects it, AND it gives us a much-needed intimidation factor.

His arm is obviously still in a sling. The surprising thing to me was that huge brace on his left knee. Hoping it was just precautionary. If Cade can still play at a super high level with everything he went through with his knee then I'm sure Gronowski will be fine.

 

[IACub]

Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Gronowski pass out at Panchero's last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

I'd settle for Steve Austin's bionic arm.

We are well on the way to creating the new 6 million dollar man. Bionic right arm and all. Kirk is playing 4 dimensional chess.

You think that’s cringe?

I heard they’re selling a new sandwich called the Gronwich…AND IT’S MADE OF HIM!!!!!

Jimmy John’s is one of history’s great monsters.

i just asked chatgpt to predict mg’s performance this fall. here’s what it said. i’m happy. (there’s also lengthy justification which i left out, only final summary follows)

Summary Estimate for 2025 at Iowa:​

• Passing Yards: 2,700 – 3,000 yards
• Rushing Yards: 400 – 500 yards

here’s the prompt i used:
make an informed best guess numerical estimation for passing yards and rushing yards by mark gronowski this fall while playing football for Iowa. take into account iowa’s strength of schedule, tim lester’s past performances as offensive coordinator, and gronowski’s historical performances at sdsu.

EDIT: @Phenomenally Frantastic if you a couple secs and have access to grok can you use the above prompt and post what grok predicts? thanks

If he does that, we're winning 9 games.

if phil gets his guys to play like they did during 2021-23 maybe even more

I think he should wear the sling every time he goes out in public until opening weekend just to fvck with fans.

That would be awesome. Add a new medical device every other week culminating with an eye patch and clown orthopedic shoes.

This has my vote as best thread of the year (so far)…huzzah, gentlemen

Frankly, this would solve WR's dropping the ball.....😉

Sure, but think about the depth that would be required at the WR position 🤔

That would be a lot cheaper than Oregon and Texas are paying for their QB.

I'll worry when he's in a wheel chair being pulled by a seeing eye dog!
