Yeah but after 4,000 you gotta believe a little "old-timers" sets in. Then we just respond to make you feel loved although we discount everything Grandpa.

I'd prefer you'd direct your responses at the ludicrous statements of his posts and not the number he or she has made. Give a little break to us newb's.

Noted, but I wasn't the one who made the comment regarding number of posts. I was just clearing it up for the confused poster who made post #10.

Easy! I'm 19 and got lots of life ahead of me (Iowa State is probably killing me faster than necessary though

)

Coming from a Marshalltown native and knowing Coach Loney and and the family of of new S&C wife to say I am a little worried is to say the least.

What are your qualifications to make these judgments? Many years as a coach or the fact that you are from Marshalltown?

Well let me try to decipher this mess.

My handle is bobcat. My name is robert and i like kittens. I know coach loney by way of the newspaper and my cousin Rodney had a crush on the new S&C wife and she didn't like him. My hero is yoda and I enjoy speaking in code and only letting other jedi masters figure out what I'm saying. After minutes of studying youtube tapes of the new S&C I firmly believe he's not right for our program. Please excuse me while I clean the litter box.

McKnight isn't from Iowa, his wife is. Does that make him a bad hire? CPR knows what he is doing.

I'm curious as to what standard you're judging this by--going by the only objective standard I know (results at the NFL Combine, let alone on the field), our S&C coaches have been mediocre at best going back to Donnie Duncan.

I do not like the continued loyal ties to "native" Iowans for jobs on the staff that did not coach at BCS schools.

Now, this one I can't argue with. Hiring Iowans just because they're Iowans can be just as bad a premise as recruiting Iowans simply becase they're Iowans. The talent has to be there in the first place.
