Keokuk Chiefs Football....
- Thread starter Speedway1

Yep James Hurt I believe. Had to defend him a couple times with a 5 yard cushion. Vandy-Hurt connection in 2006 won them the championship
Keokuk will probably have more kids out for Football than they ever had.
I know folks in Keokuk and they tell me this is definitely creating buzz.
Keokuk needs all the buzz it can get.
Assuming you mean zero experience specifically coaching WR. Because that is definitely the only criteria to ensure a coach is successful.........
In the " 7 got 6" game, I was in a very packed bar in Iowa City, and I vividly remember that the place got dead silent at the snap and for a second after the delivery it was still dead silent, like everyone was on pause and shock for a full beat , then the place exploded, pretty cool experience all courtesy of Stanzi and the new football coach for Keokuk. Good Luck Coach #7!
Its a tough spot. Remote, and the old industry that supported the good jobs are mostly gone.
I am not from Keokuk but have some deep ties to the area. I have ideas on how it can survive, but they would likely be too radical for those there now.
Was in the stadium and it was very loud until McNutt caught the ball and then dead silence except the Iowa section.
Don't believe he was a huge fan based on general comments regarding the offense on the radio and tv shows. Wasn't like BF is stupid or anything, but in general.
While everyone knows that John Wayne was born in Winterset Iowa ... Did You Know: he also lived in Keokuk? Apparently lived briefly in an apartment over the pharmacy his father worked at.
I also gleaned from the same little ditty that while attending USC he played under ... Howard Jones! Cool, huh?
The More You Know ... amirite?

I could see that turning into somewhat of a St. Louis pipeline for Iowa.
I'm watching the Parade of Champions at halftime of the Iowa girls high school basketball championship. Both Keokuk and Ottumwa are reigning state girls bowling champions.
If Fry had done that KF would not be here. If KF had done that BF would have never been OC.
Like the one Andy Dufresne crawled through?
So McNutt takes a high school HC job 3 hours from St Louis and that turns into a pipeline of St Louis area players to a place where he's not a coach. Right.
I can smell the broasted eats served in the bowling alleys.
Ottumwa and Keokuk share the distinction of being the worst place in our state to live by far, with Keokuk taking the bottom spot. I couldn't imagine raising kids in either of those towns.
FD is a tired town, but median household income is substantially higher, and the number of college bachelors, Masters and PhDs degree is significantly higher in Fort Dodge compared to keokuk. Also the average home value of Fort Dodge is singnficantly higher than Keokuk. Fort Dodge has a regional Medical Center affiliated with unity point. Keokuk has ZERO healthcare options as they don't have a hospital at all. Keokuk has no post secondary education and Fort Dodge has a community college. I've traveled the state of Iowa for 15 years, trust me Fort Dodge aint no Keokuk. It might be a rough town, but is nowhere blighted as keokuk. Statistics on the two can be obtained from Citidata.org.
Keokuk didn't used to be like this. It was a great town growing up. Hopefully, it can rebound.
Keokuk has SCC (Southeastern Comm College). In fact, the women's basketball team @ SCC played their games @ the old Stritch High School when the program first started.

Born in 54 moved away in 74. Back in those days Keokuk was a great town to grow up in. When I visit now it saddens me what has become of it. Still have friends and family there.
