Remind me, why did we not want Woodbury?

Last years team practiced together for a year and started slow. Games and practice are way different. Also the redshirts prob went against the starters last year in practice.

I'm not buying th excuse that for some reason out transfers need longer to gel than a much younger team like Iowa.

Our Senior leaders (and I'll throw Ejim in there too) have been sort of MIA against teams with a pulse

That must be it.

Excuse me for not envying a rival school's recruits. I happen like the guys that chose to go to school here more.

Then admit you are being subjective and saying you don't like him b/c hes a hok. Not that "hes not any good".

And go rematch the game. He certainly had a prescience about him on defense. While he didn't block shots or rebound, go ACTH how many times when he was in the game we even tried to go down low. Not everything can be measured in the stat book. Well, maybe you can. Anyone know the splits last night when Woodbury was in the game vs not? I'm going to guess its roughly +20 or more!

This. Woody simply alters what the other team does...the Hawk D has a drop off when he's out. Been pretty apparent all year.

I'm very happy with his progress so far....

Even if Fred wanted him, I'm glad he didn't come here. There's no place in an up-tempo offense for a slow 7-footer that doesn't rebound all that well. He was okay last night, but im not wetting my pants over it.

I guess the reason you dont want Woodbury is because.....U-want to keep losing because our bigs cant guard a S**T

HOUSE...............We could sure use a seven foot Woodbury right about now...Its gonna be a LONG Season I cant wait to see if Drake High School Presses us come next sat afternoon....

The mcdermott era. But during that time period its not like iowa was any better those years.

It was good to avoid this place this weekend.

Amazing that all of you actually fell for a ******* piece of **** hawk fan on here trying to justify his own existence.

Of course when you look at some of the "fans" that look to pile on, it would stand to reason they would, since they feel the same way.

All of the usual suspects showed up, the only one missing is tornado man ripping JP for firing his uncle dan

I'm a Hawk fan? Trying to justify my own existence? Looks like I've been on this site longer than you have. Although, I have a life so I don't live on these boards and post constantly. I will gladly put you down as just another idiot who thinks any sort of questions about one of our programs must mean one isn't a fan. Mikem, I'm going to guess you're what, maybe 16 years old? Go play kick ball with your friends, leave these discussions to the grown ups.
