Sam Brownlee- Please pray.

Dude got abused on Saturday's, so Lord knows we all know how tough he is. Here's hoping he's able to be just as tough against whatever it is he's dealing with.
Well. Said another way. Sam was true warrior for Iowa in 2004 when Iowa needed him the most.
Best of luck to Sam and his family.
Wrong time for a thinly veiled cheap shot. Shame on you. I'm sure you could have done better. Prayers sent for Sam. Once a Hawk...
Hope things go well for him. Still hard to believe Iowa split the conference title that year with literally no running game.
I don’t think it was meant as an insult. I took it as a fifth-string walk-on RB gets thrown into a starting roll, took a beating by Big Ten defenses on the way to a Big Ten Title. Sam is tough as nails.
This isn't about you, it is perfectly acceptable to just say, " I am thinking about Sam and his family.".
Yeah, you'd have to stretch pretty hard to take that as an insult and not a compliment. Odd accusation.
Get well Sam!
That's our culture right now. It's almost like people look for a reason to be offended.
How was that a "thinly veiled cheap shot"?!?! I was referring to the fact that he played running back when we were dealing with injuries all over the team and working with guys deep down the depth chart. He got hit hard week after week, and yet kept coming back for more. Dude was rock solid and tough, but you go ahead and read what I said however you want. I guess I didn't word it letter-perfect, but cheap shot it sure as hell wasn't, and I'll pass on the "shame" you're casting on me.
You're right, sorry I was so offensive. I'll edit for you!

Dang. I just saw a video last week with him reminiscing about the 6-4 win at PSU. He was the starting RB for that epic defensive battle.
I’m not sure when it was produced.
I’m not sure when it was produced.
I think any sane person took it exactly the way it was meant - tough kid who laid it on the line when the Hawks needed him to do so and you wish him well. Pretty sure you must have "offended" the poster on a recent topic.
Praying for you Sam! You were one gutsy football player! God speed.
Was unnecessary but asking non believers to pray is ridiculous when there are so many, OP could have worded title better but I'm glad he brought it to our attention. Thoughts are with Sam and family, hopefully he's got the best doctors in his corner. Great hawk
I remember the 2004 game in Kinnick when the Hawks walloped the Buckeyes. If I recall correctly Sam had a carry for about 13 yards, likely a career long! That fall he lived the dream.
Thoughts and prayers Sam, and thanks for the memories.
Kind of like some of the Paki bomb stuff. Kid did nothing but show up everyday with his lunch pail and give 100% and loved being a Hawk...
I don’t see where OP asked non believers specifically to pray. Just as easy to put Sam in your thoughts.
To paraphrase the sainted 'ol John Hayden, Sammy, you just put your head down and keep on drivin'.
I didn't really care about the prayer comment as much as maybe just swallow your need to criticize and comment and just extend your well wishes. I don't care if you say prayer or send thoughts but maybe this thread is about Sam and wanting him to be well. Yes, I realize there is some hypocrisy in my pointing that out but let's just wish Sam to have good news and not make snide comments about whether you pray. Things are bigger than us and there is nothing wrong with
Good time to have an internet fight. Wtf? Good luck, Sam. You got this.
A former Hawkeye is sick and it devolves into whether a quife approves of Christianity.
Our OL was really shaky for a big hunk of that season. I wouldn't say that was a cheap shot at all ... at least, not at Sam. One could easily interpret the "abuse" as coming as a result of the fact that our OL didn't permit much more than a 1-dimensional O. And, since we're a play-action team ... Sam had to still run down the throats of our opponents anyhow ... otherwise we could sell our bread and butter.
It's also perfectly acceptable to wonder what exactly you're praying for
I think it was 2014. Eddie Hinkel already looked like he was 50 then.
That said, I am hoping and praying for a swift and complete recovery. 2020 is almost over - let’s get 2021 started off on the right foot.
Why is this thread full of BS? Just give your thoughts on Sam and move on. Not really a time to bicker
thanks for that. Maybe I’ve read too many posts saying a player “got abused” as a euphemism for “played poorly” and translated that to your post incorrectly. I understand your comment now. I may have gotten a little defensive. Sorry bout that.
FFS. If you're a non believer just ignore the connotation or ignore the thread. Believe it or not, there is no such right for you not to be offended.
