And not if our QB's are in the 6'4" to 5" range like Stanley and Petras......
Wagner at Practice Today...

One thing I think we can all agree on is the staff should pursue any and every opportunity to build the talent level at the WR position. Thus far it sounds like they have done great job building a relationship with AW.
To be clear, I was completely joking. That said, I’d love to have him stick with Iowa.
Your sarcasm meter is broken Birk...I know you were joking.
Yeah, I thought you probably knew. I had to factor in your extreme fatigue in my judgment.
Wags should be able to use that speed and long frame to reach Nate’s overthrows no problemo...
If he stays at Iowa realistic expectations would be getting him in on special teams and maybe next year a more advanced role.

Fixed it for you.
Calling it! Bigger stronger faster Randy Moss!
He is definitely bigger and stronger, moss ran a 4.25 this kid looks fast in his video I'm guessing 4.5 range either way get this kid on the fieldCalling it! Bigger stronger faster Randy Moss!
I saw a special segment on Lute Olsen a few years ago before he retired. They said he never cussed. Yelled a good bit, but you could hear on the tapes "Gosh darn it!". Thought it was very interesting and I never forgot it.
Wrong!!!
His pictures suggest he runs a 4.15.
KF swears with the best of them....just words. If that is a problem then you probably don’t fit. Not an indictment on you just not going to fit in that industryAccording 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.
The clergy and the judiciary should probably avoid profanity. As for rest of us, its Katie bar the f***ing door.
I wouldn't mind Wagner trying out for track, if he anchored his relay in HS, although I don't know of any times listed for him.
Well shit with those numbers he'll win the HEISMAN hands down.
This has to be one of the best Threads ever! Usually by page 2 there is a pissing match between 2 posters on some opinion, but this one is excellent!
Thank you, Jelly!
Thank you, Jelly!
Alright Jelly your brain has had a chance to solidify do you have any other nuggets you can remember? Tia.
Lute slipped up from time to time-sat behind bench and heard him say a few in his younger days. Age helps with this and I am sure he was able to control it. I coach and try not to swear but have long ways to go, each year I get better
Go to a Bama practice or Michigan or usc- been to all 3 and holy cow-definitely for MA only
I would argue the "F" word is the most versatile and probably single greatest word in the English language. It can be a noun, adjective, verb, adverb and probably the other things that I don't know the name of (English majors help me out here). It very effectively expresses excitement, anger, joy, sorrow, exhilaration, disappointment. It's a very good attention grabber. It's also extremely therapeutic; tell me another word that comes close to providing the calming effect that a good F bomb provides.According to Jellyfish10, "Lots of 'F' words being used."

And then of course there's the literal translation of the word...
This guy told me one time "I don't know what the F them F-ing F-ers are doing." Kinda like you said, used it as 3 different ways in the English language.
Jelly, buddy, please.... anything to keep this thread from going off the "f" ing rails.
I think hes got to be setting his sights on 2019 but why go somewhere else and completely eliminate the possibility of even stepping on a field this year.
It wouldn't make sense to me, and Iowa obviously has far better resources than an fcs.
Plus the transition should be much in a place you've been living for 3 years vs a new setting.
Wow. That's crazy. So my girlfriend is from Virginia and she literally just used "Katie bar the door" as an expression last night. I gave her a WTF? look and asked her what it meant. I had never heard it until last night. Weird.
Are you from the South by chance?
My father is from Waterloo, Ia & uses “Katie bar the door” all the time... says it at the ends of games.. I’ve always gathered it means, it’s over or finished at least when comes to sporting events! Lol

I’ve never heard it but you’re probably right. Just another form of “turn out the lights”.
Katie Bar the door is a saying used to describe trouble ahead or back in the day the bars and pubs would bar the doors at closing time to keep out troublemakers or maybe keep the drunks in. Used it alot but always get funny looks. Never really knew where it came from. I was in the Navy so I use alot of Navy slang too.. Maybe i heard it well in the Navy. So for an example: If something was going wrong and I knew it was gonna be bad but we proceeded to keep doing it, I would say.... Ok... Katie Bar the door. and shake my head.
Yeah, I think it means look out because trouble is coming.
I never once heard it living in Iowa. I think it's more common in the South.

Heard this from my parents often enough back in the 60's on ...my coaches too (NW Iowa). Always more of a warning, get ready, the opposition is coming, hard and fast.
Nothing great really and some I just can’t share.
The wr beating the DB was Ragaini. Wirfs is a stud (shocker) and Stanley’s feet looked really good. Hankins looked quick and fast and while Turner looked the part, it didn’t translate to the field. Seemed pretty raw.
The most important thing tho, and something that I’ve been sitting on, is that Iowa’s practice jerseys are dated, baggy, and just kinda gross. Man it feels good to get that off my chest.
I was at a funeral dinner once and sat at a table with a priest. They guy was swearing like a sailor, I kid you not.
Ragaini looks like the kind of kid KF gets late that comes in under the radar, and ends up being a really solid player. That would be nice of course to add an impact player to the WR room. Big T Wirfs the FIRST Iowa frosh to start at tackle for the Hawks under KF. This was no fluke. I'd see him 2nd team all BIG next year, 1st team junior year, and AA 1st team senior year, and a first round draft pick after that season. Good to hear Stanley's foot work progressing. Definetly something he need to improve on from his solid first season.
Dude nice knowing you, you seem like a great guy. But I assume you are now getting the banhammer.
Gives Plumb and Kallenberger time to learn. We also have tackles Miller and Endres coming in next year. You may be correct in assuming Wirfs and Jackson leaving early.
