According to Jellyfish10, "Lots of 'F' words being used." I presume those would be
"F" words like...fabulous, fantastic, fervent, felicitous, fearless, first-class, flashy, flawless, fleet, focused, formidable, and fun? Fantastical...
But really, other "F" words, IMHO of course, have no more business on the football field than they do in the classroom. Teaching is teaching, and good coaching is teaching.
KF says he's not just building football players, he's building men. Well, maybe a ban on the infamous "F" word would be an effective building block in that process.
I had the misfortune of attending several football practices--all of which were open in those days--that were directed by short-term head coach Frank Lauterbur. His staff swore so much that it made Andrew Dice Clay blush.
I've played and I've coached, and I never found swearing helpful in either role. Like I said, the football field is just another classroom, and it should be treated as such...IMHO.
Shut up, Flanders.
He said his source was FOX. So we know the reporting is garbage.

This is getting good. You might want to take your personal pic off your profile on here. National Reconnaissance Office may have you on their radar. Could follow you to your source and shut him up. High value info Jellyfish!

New Kirk should just go for it every 4th down and forego the punt , Results would have been a net gain over the punting unit last year.
i said military
Hey now I was in the Air Force. Lol
I sleep deprived and take this with a grain but my birdie said the following...
1st team WRs looked good. Impressed with Easley and BSmith. Not impressed with 2nd team WR. Smith didn’t drop a ball but very few deep balls.
Both lines looked good and thought Nixon not playing wasn’t the worst thing ever. Good depth there.
This might break the innerwebz, but a new appreciation for JG at safety. A leader, makes all the calls, and practices his ass off.
Dillon Doyle at lb looked great. Needs to add weight but the bird was really impressed. Thinks he will be a stud.
Unhappy with a starting cb (not naming names) and that he had a poor attitude and seemed disinterested. Got into it with another teammate and when the teammate went to apologize, said db just walked away.
Petras may be a little taller than NS. Looked like he was in good shape with a good arm.
As far as AW goes, bird talked to him and he hasn’t made up his mind. AW said he is looking at WR not TE. AW met with Copeland and Doyle. From what I gather, the decision to play hoops was more of a lack of high major offers for FB until late interest was shown. Talked about eligibility as far as 2 years to play if he stays.
Ross squatting around 650#.
One db was told 4 plays in a row to get of the f’n field if he couldn’t guard a freshman. Same guy struggled with the calls.
RBs solid but not spectacular.
There’s more but my brain is mush right now.

Thanks to you and your birdie. For Hawkeye addicts like myself, you're supplying me (and presumably the rest of us) with a much needed fix!
Before nodding off, kindly let us know who is this freshman receiver that the dB coulnt guard.
Brady Ross.
Idk who the wr was that was torching the DB. Like I said, I was working during the convo and I couldn’t ask enough questions. My brain is mashed potatoes right now.
Jellyfish justifying the cost of a subscription in one night.
I will give You credit the chow at Hickam and Wheeler was far better than the slop they gave us at Schofield Barracks

I would bet the CB that had an attitude problem will get it rectified real quick by the staff F Bombs included. Iowa doesn't let cancerous behavior to teammates go . That will be rectified real fast.
@Blair Sanderson I don’t have premium access anymore bc MWxW. If I broke a rule please pm me. Thank you.
I will have to take your word for it, I never had chow at any of those installations. I only ate at Lackland and Kelly. Apparently the Air Force thought I must have felt right at home in Texas.
Oh no, not at all. I just linked this thread there and tagged you in it, saying you had some good info over here. Thank you.
Thought for sure I was going to HR prison. My bird is someone I hold in very high regard and I wish I would have recorded the conversation. I have some other info but I don’t feel comfortable sharing out of respect for him.
This surprises me. Was the defense off getting water? I love that he can make all the throws and that he’s strong enough to throw TDs with guys literally hanging off him, but I haven’t seen anything from his game that screams “running threat.” This is either extremely awesome or troubling that this happened.
Again not trying to make something bigger than it is...bird was just disappointed in his disposition and seemingly lack of interest.
