2013 football captains announced

[ISUAgronomist]

Guys, I'm good with the captains. I just would have liked to seen a guy with longevity and the crazy amount of responsibility he has on every single play be recognized. What's wrong with that?

That his teammates don't think he's worthy of being a captain over those that they voted for.

You should see him in games. 26 consecutive starts. Longest on the team tied with Jacques. The next man has 15. Oh, but that doesn't matter right.

If he is not a leader then NO it doesn't.

I am going to tell my boss that he will be answering to me now because I haven't taken a day off in months and he stayed home Thursday because his kid was sick.

Keep that mindset. One day you'll need it.

Farniok is not much of a leader at this point.

Glad I could bust that one out again.

No doubt Woody is a great kid, great interview, and clone to the bone. He deserves it but not in my top 5. IMHO, I would have rather seen Farniok. Especially with the excitement the board has about Klenakis....one of his boys should have made it and Farniok is who he'll lean on. He makes all of the protection calls for OL and other than the QB, touches the ball every play. It would bother and worry me as a fan that the punter and 3rd or 4th RB made captain over an OL that has started every snap. Especially with the role he has and a young QB. No big 12 contender will have the type of captains we have outside of JG, James, and JW.

He's a situational back. Even if he shows up as 3rd or 4th on the depth chart that doesn't show the role he plays on the field.

I was talking about my point of view.

Nope, I'll just let it be. Obviously, a man can't have an opinion on this board.

Just because you aren't labeled a captain doesn't mean you can't be a leader. You really think just because a punter is named a captain that means ISU can't contend? The players select who they want to be captains. You are digging way to deep on something that doesn't need dug.

Chris,
I love this board! Every post I make seems to fire everybody up! I should get a "like" for sparking traffic.

 

[Tre4ISU]

People, I'm not saying Woody or any of the other guys doesn't deserve it. It's something they've obviously earned and I congratulate them. I'm coming from an on the field perspective not locker room or popularity contest. At the end of the day, that's what really matters. We want to be a Big 12 contender, correct? We are not going to get there until the guys that are in the trenches every game day, play after play, become our true leaders on and off the field. I'm just saying, check the national polls and conference. You can count on both hands the teams that have a punter and 3rd or 4th RB as captains.

Once again, they earned it and I congratulate them. They will be great captains!

Farniok has never struck me as a leader off the field. Yeah, he has a ton of responsibility on the field but being a captain is as much, if not more, about off the field stuff. He's a junior and will be a captain next year.

You are staking your opinion just as I did. You make valid points. I just chose to respect your opinion and not challenge every post you make.

That's a flat out lie. I think he's a great kid! He just gets the homer vote.

I have no idea who you are or if you have connections to the team, but I find it hard to believe that anyone not associated with THIS YEARS team can judge this. I think TF is awesome. For all I know, he was next in line with the votes. But he didn't get it. I have problem with who they picked.

Neither do I.

 

[CrossCyed]

Don't forget that a holder was captain last year. It just comes down to who the players think deserves that honor.

I didn't have a problem with him either. Thought Bueker was a great leader with coaches mentality. Thus, he now coaching.

 

[CYphyllis]

It's the players team captains, not yours. You can have your opinion, but it isn't worth **** no matter how hard and meaningless you try to argue it.

Well sheeeot, if YOU have a problem with who the TEAM picked as captains....then perhaps there should be a re-vote. Should I let Rhoads know or is someone else already on it?

Thank you. It's like people forgot Bueker was a captain in 2012. Just because you aren't on the field every snap or show up in the stat sheets doesn't make you less captain-worthy.

I think poster meant to say "don't".

Hey my friend, I was just trying to get everybody else off YOUR back.

Very true. BTW, I don't expect to see any more post from you on this board simply because 99-100% of the stuff on here is opinion and it isn't worth a damn anyway.
