Yeah, too bad ISU has to play teams from that South too. Oh, that shoots your argument all to hell.

None of us doubt that if he were to return that he wouldn't be one of the front runners for the Heisman next year. Most of us doubt he'll be back for next season, regardless of his grade situation. Right now he's at the top of his game - the only problem is he's not getting any younger. He's what - 24 right now? If he sticks around for another year he'll be 25 and will be yet another year closer to the decline age that the majority of running backs hit, not to mention every hit he takes next year at the college level jeopardizes the payday waiting for him in the Pro Bowl. Few teams were willing to take a chance on McGahee several years back, and this was a younger guy with tremendous upside. If Greene blows out his knee playing for Iowa next season, will any pro team take a risk on a 25-year old with a damaged wheel who hasn't even proved he can run at the NFL level? Somebody probably will, but I'd place money on him not being a day one pick in that scenario.
Simple fact of the matter is the risks far outweigh the rewards in terms of a RB sticking around another year. Greene is a fool if he's at Iowa next year.
For someone hoping this thread has run it's course and will end, it sure is funny that you have posted 12 times since page 12 up until now.
9 months till the game and you and your DB hawk cronies are over here on a Cyclone message board telling us why we are idiots for thinking we can win next year like history hasn't taught you to shut your pie hole until the 2009 game is over.
We haven't heard that before have we.........
Probably not. If Iowa wins their first two games, ISU will not beat Iowa. That's a tautology if I ever sawded one.
He'll be 24 in August. McGahee was picked 23rd overall. Not top 5 like everyone thought, but still a lot of guaranteed money up-front. The pro bowl?
I assume since you claim that's a tautology you realize the Iowa/Iowa State game is the second game of the season next year?
Strange, we all must have missed ISU playing Texas, OU, and Texas Tech this past season.
I haven't guaranteed anything. Look back a few pages and you'll see my opinion on the game, I'm not going to re-write it. I've merely said that come State Fair (caps?) time next year, the guarantees of victory will be flying from both sides.
Well the end of the fair is usually when I start getting "fired up" for football season. You seem to hate the Packers. Who is your team?
I actually believe the pro game blows..and I have been to lambeau 4 times (from WI) sterile, no atmosphere.
I would love to get there someday, and everything I have ever read/heard about Lambeau is the exact opposite of what you said. Granted, it is hard to get "into" the game as a fan when there's a tv timeout on every change of possesion.

Don't get me wrong....good atmosphere...for a pro game.
nothing compared to a college game however (yes, that includes Iowa)
