I couldn't help myself. I love to talk about anything, Hawkeye. With football season just weeks away I thought I would throw out a few tidbits just for fun. The football team is a good week into practice and here are a couple of insider pictures.
On the left is of course All Big Ten quarterback, Drew Tate. My prediction is that Drew is going to have a Heisman type of season. Set back and just enjoy watching him run Iowa's offense this fall.
The young man on the right is a true freshman from Youngstown Ohio by the name of Derrell Johnson-Koulianos (DJK). He was a late commitment that slipped through Ohio State's fingers. I was able to see some video of this kid and was very impressed. Pending his production in camp, don't surprised to see him on the field in some capacity (probably returning kicks). The only reason I throw out his name is because he adds another intagible on special teams that wasn't there last year (Iowa was last in the Big Ten in kick returns last year). We know Iowa is going to have a good offense with many weapons. It's always nice to get those one or two extra touchdowns from special teams play that you don't always count one. Here is a link to a story about DJK if you would like to learn more about him.

One last thing. If you are hungry for some Hawkeye football, here is an Iowa Football Highlight Video to whet your appetite. (If you have dial up internet it will take a long time to load, just so you know.)
