Josh Volk interview on picking Iowa
- Thread starter bradnjen
- Start date
He just wanted to go somewhere where they can use straps when they do cleans
Maybe I am being too critical, but it just feels like the OL has been the weak link in the improvement of the team. Crazy how the team looks loaded on the DL after years being a patchwork mess.
Strange comment, for sure. Sounds like he was intimated by the ISU Ag dept.
No shame in admitting he was in over his head. It'd be intimidating to come into that if you really aren't ready for it.
And no shame for wanting to go to Iowa for OL. That's definitely the deal-maker.

I actually thought he came across well in the article. I agree with him that it was the right thing to do to call CMC personally and took some guts. A lot of kids would either have had a parent do it, or would have not given an opposing coach a heads up at all. Seems like a good kid, good luck to him.
Not a big deal IMO and it seems classy to call Campbell - the fact that he was nervous about that phone call says he's probably a high-character kid.
If I wanted to work for Pioneer or a big ag company I'd go to ISU, but plenty of people work for those companies with degrees from other colleges.

Ahh yes, everyone's fallback to the fallback plan... the business degree.
I always thought business would be a fine minor, which is why I have one with my enginnering degree.

I remember one of my floor mates switching from Engineering to Business and he would literally be rolling on the ground laughing at the difference in work load all the while making fun of us doing 30 physics problems for 5 hours. He was also a degenerate partier/drinker. His grades went from D- to B+ in two semesters lol.
It’s like CMC has never hosted a recruit and is tone deaf on how to market the program.
Good luck to the kid. Nobody on this board can question his decision since his thought process is unique to him and him alone.
It’s a better option for him because that’s where he wants to go. For most degrees it matters little where it comes from. It only matters what the person chooses to do with it.
Are there any degrees the schools have in common that Iowa is better at.?
Lots. Just like there are lots of majors they have in common that ISU is better at.
I'm an ISU grad, but isnt Iowa's writers workshop (I assume for English majors? Journalism?) nationally renowned? Think their art program is very good too. They have a biomedical engineering degree that I'm not sure isu has.
The English/Creative Writing school at Iowa is top notch. Biology might be equal, they do make doctors at Iowa. Maybe Business? IDK I hear ISU has grown a lot in that field since I was in school '03-'08. I don't really think that much about U of I tbh.
For undergrad:
English, humanities, journalism/media, business, polysci, most of the fine/performing arts advantage Iowa.
Mathematics, STEM, many of the hard sciences, ag sciences, graphic design, interior design advantage ISU.
Lots of programs probably pretty even between the two. My daughter will be starting at ISU this coming fall in elementary ed, and we absolutely loved the faculty advisor we met with on our campus visit. Those programs might be equal but ISU completely won us over.
