All aboard the Lanning hype train

[jbindm]

Yeah the announcers on Sat said he had scouts looking at him now for a late round draft pick. I never thought of the fact that his body isn’t nearly at beat as everyone else is gonna be at that LB spot coming out of college.

I don't know if he'll get drafted, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he's in an NFL training camp next August and on a practice squad to start the season. It's become pretty clear that he has some real potential at LB. We'll see what the last half of the season brings. What should be scary to upcoming opponents is that he hasn't even leveled off yet. He's gotten better every week.

The flu has to get a Lanning shot.

I got off the Lanning LB train after the Iowa game.

Who do I need to talk to so I can get back on?

No need to talk with anyone...you are free to board the train whenever you want too.

I'm sorry that your cardinal and gold blinders don't let you see that Joel Lanning, while a great teammate and good football player, is not even in the same league as the Heisman Trophy. He's getting headlines for being a great teammate and moving from QB to LB and being willing to step back in as a QB in spots, but to even think he's a top 5 linebacker in the Big 12 is crazy, let alone the best player in college football.

Didn't say he's a Heisman candidate.

Your intention was to solely bring down the thread.

If Joel Lanning planned his own surprise party he'd be so good at it that he'd still be surprised.

Lanning will punch your ticket after the train leaves the station. After he's finished punching Hitler and Stalin.

Now second. You know what to do, Cyclone Nation!

Ames named a street after Lanning...no one dared to drive on it.

Lanning wants University Blvd changed back to Elwood Drive. He will get his way.

Move over Hoiberg, there's a new Mayor in town. And he's got an agenda!

Already in first place with a 141 vote lead. Definitely deserves this award, not a lot of players play on both sides of the ball in college

Joel Lanning has jumped out of a plane twice. Once over Hiroshima and once over Nagasaki.

Joel Lanning's game Saturday was an all-time Cyclone football single-game type performance. He is already sacrificing so much to the program. Hard not to think if he leads the team back to a bowl game this year and continues to perform so well on defense and offense that he will have to be in the all-time Cyclone conversation. The two-way player is just so rare these days and to do it well at 2 very significant positions....wow!

So lucky to have a guy like Lanning on the team.

Not arguing that. Look at what you wrote about tackles. To assume they have little to no value, while understanding where your coming from, is quite radical. There’s a lot to unpack in the value of tackle stat but saying it doesn’t have value makes very little sense.
