He said "the up and coming Iowa State University" his rookie year. He switched to his high school after Mac was fired.

I think he'll have more fun in this defense. He'll get a chance to blitz from time to time, and he'll be playing opposite his Super Bowl teammate Assante Samuel again. I'm still a little unsure of who his secondary teammates will be. Maybe Brown will make the shift to safety this season, if he doesn't get traded...

I can't believe people still bring up what he says on the intros...get over it!

Still remember Ellis picking off that Iowa pass when they were top 10 and we spanked them in Ames.

He had a lot of plays like that. I hope to see some more defenisive plays like that soon in Ames!

It's just weird. You hear all these guys spouting off their colleges and then Ellis throws out his HS. I don't really care, it's just kind of annoying. I'll still watch him play.

That was LaMarcus Hicks. Ellis graduated after the 2004 season.

Ellis isn't the only one to do it. Even Justin Hartwig (who went to Valley in WDM) said Valley on the Super Bowl, even though he's just as proud to have gone to Kansas.

Loved whatching the little guy excel in the pros, wish he could be on better team to root for than the patriots and eagles but I will always be a fan of Ellis Hobbs III! Plus he loves Iowa State people, give it a rest.

**A-town Cy** · 04-26-2009, 03:41 PM

Just trying to get my facts straight, did Rhoads ever coach Hobbs or help recruit him? And Ash was his secondary coach, correct? Hopefully that will be good enough for him to say "Iowa State" again.

E-L-L-I-S is now an E-A-G-L-E!!!! Fly, Ellis, Fly!!!

Macklin in an exciting addition too!!! Now I can like him.

I can't believe people havn't realized the ellis hobbs video was taped once and then replayed every game the rest of the year.

Don't worry. That was explained here every time it happened and people kept complaining. They will never be happy.

I would say it's gotten to be about 60/40 players saying their college to their high school. It's become the "cool" thing to do. Plus, when they are featured, they typically show their school name as well. So, maybe some just like to show both? Either way, I've never lost one second of sleep as a result of it. Fact is that people wouldn't notice, if we had more players in the NFL. And I could less which school he announces if he's starting in a Super bowl for the Eagles. ;-)

I'm not a moron, I realize they tape those things at the beginning of the year and then reuse them throughout the season.

I guess I haven't heard high schools mentioned much, so that's why it just seems weird to me.

My husband's just happy I got involved in the Fantasy Football league at my office so I don't complain when he has football on all day Sunday from August-January.
