ADAM ROBINSON OUT FOR 2009 SEASON!

At what price did we defeat MSU on Saturday? Looks like another 'next man in' situation for the Hawks. I did find it interesting that there was absolutely no speculation of this after A-Rob's name didn't appear on the depth chart. In reality, it seemed that his injury was far less serious (or at least it appeared that way) then Colin's or Greenwood's.
So, Wegher will get the start and hopefully develop into more of an everydown type of guy. But - Will be seeing a Paki - Wegher combo like the A-Rob-Wegher combo we became accustomed to? I hope not....
I'd much rather have Wegher the horse, with Paki giving him a blow every now and again...

DAS PAKIBOMB!!!
It would appear that the APAKI-LYPSE is upon us. Not that I think we needed A-Rob the next couple of weeks. Would have been nice to have him for Ohio State though.
Okay, Super Wegher, break out that cape!
Yee-Haw! I ride again!

We are one freak Wegher injury away from…
PAKIBOMB

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Wegher’s got a ton of talent, but he’s not ready to carry the load, especially between the tackles. There are way too many no gains or runs for negative yardage mixed in with his good runs, and that’s the sort of shit that kills drives. He needs someone to split carries with him, and Paki is not that someone.
I guess they could go the 2004 route and start passing on basically every down, but Stanzi, as much as I like the guy, isn’t exactly Drew Tate. STANZIBALLS, ahoy!
What's with all the sreaming in the FanPosts?
O, Pakibomb? YEARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Besides
That one was pretty much known Saturday night the moment it happened. The ARob story is more “breaking” in that we knew he’d be out for a few weeks but thought he could be back for the OSU game.
Irregardless, we’re (poor grammar) fucked!
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Brad Rogers
Apparently Ferentz discussed the possibility of pulling off the redshirt. Also, Rogers dressed for the Michigan State game and is apparently chomping at the bit to get out on the field. Perhaps another true freshman is our answer for the home stretch.

By “Brad Rogers” I’m going to assume you’re talking about “the Cambus”

As I said in the other thread:
I’d like to see more of Morse, he’s not slow by any means…and can obviously catch out of the backfield. I also mentioned to OPS and Morehouse today that fullback dives are not going to help our “style points”….like, at all.
A 6 foot 2 inch 225 lb fullback?
He better start hitting up the IHOP a lot if he want’s to git er done.
Sheeyit, I thought he was gonna be a LB?
At least he was a good OLB in my NCAA 2010 dynasty…

I know, I know...
I’m getting out in the weeds with this, but is anyone here old enough to remember an early ’sixties Iowa Girls Basketball player, think she was MVP during Iowa State Girls Basketball Tournament—FONDA DICKS?
No, but I've heard of her.
My aunt told me about her.

You know her dad had to come up with that name.

After a big win...
she was interviewed on live TV and was asked about her, um, unusual name. Paraphrased, she shrugged and said, “My parents just have a sense of humor.”
I guess
If her mom was fond of them, why not name their daughter that.

It would have been ironic
if Ms. Dicks had turned out to be a lesbian (NTTAWWT).

You're picking up what I'm putting down.
Make the move, Ferentz. DiBona is your new Tailback. Get the t-shirts ready.
Which would the defense want more of...
The Big DiBona or McNutt in their mouth? Or maybe we could just stuff them with DiBona and then have McNutt blow up in their face
Thankfully, we get another 2 years of McNutts and DiBonas in our backfield.

Ferentz confirmed
This story in his press conference this afternoon.

"This kind of hurts."
Bit of an understatement, don’t you think? At this point, Iowa is more banged up than Texas State University before the final play in Necessary Roughness, maybe now’s not the best time to make sure everyone gets to play.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Brinson
has not redshirt…so if he is injured, how bad? How long? Yes, we need to go to this Rogers kid. I hope we demoralize Indiana early so Rogers can get some low stress carries. But, if Wegher can stay healthy I see him doing nice things. But frankly, I think KOK and Ferentz have been playing it very close to the vest. Well, no more. It’s time to line up the four wides and Moeaki…although, do we still have four wideouts???
If we go 11-1 given all thes injuries, Ferentz is a genius. If we go undefeated….

Brinson
Brinson is done for the year. Personally, although I know it’s risky, I feel like we’re going to have to get the Cambus some meaningful carries in this game. If, god forbid, White Lightning gets injured, we don’t want to have Pakibomb and a freshman who has never had a meaningful carry.

by SpanishJohnny on Oct 27, 2009 2:33 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm about 100% sure
that Brinson had the redshirt put on him last year when he was injured in camp so as not to burn that year of eligibility. Obviously, that hasn’t exactly worked out like we planned this year.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
also
have wegher come out of the backfield. KOK could be the new Urban Meyer. He’d have to get a new title to his book though.
i don't wife em...i one night em
I hope not
I don’t want to se our coaches cry as much to the refs like Meyer. Saw enough it last week in East Lansing
The Fridge II? Keggerator?
We need nicknames NOW PEOPLE for the impending Clayborn rushing onslaught!

I WAS CAREER ARMY,
we had a mine, send out a blast that’d clear a 90 foot swath. “CLAYMORE” it was called. The business side was embossed “FRONT TOWARD ENEMY”
It Could Be Worse
We could have lost our ONLY offensive weapon like Minny just did.

Apparently he played against Psycho-T in high school. Scientists are still baffled as to why Psycho-T is still capable of walking.

I'm only going to say this once, and you already know what I am going to say.
Wegher is going to take over the offense. Not the carries, the offense. In 2 weeks you will be looking back wondering why you were so worried when A-Rob went down. With 30-50% more chances to carry the ball, he is going to break some amazing runs. He’s going to be a monster the rest of the year, and you are going to laugh at me now, but I’m going to say he carries us through the rest of the year on his back, near-Shonn-Greene-style.
Time to unleash the wond3RBoy!
Why not Iowa????

I don't know if he can handle a work load...
… he only had 1,042 yards in high school. Oh, wait, that was his sophomore year (when he was, like 15 years old). Hmmm… okay, he only carried 286 times for 2,334 yards- – oops, that was when he was old enough to drive a car.
Actually, last year he carried the ball 362 times for 3,238 yards and 51 TDs, against defenses that were putting 10 guys in the box. I’m not saying this translates to the Big Ten, but I think he’s capable of doing well if the line gets a good push.
I agree it will be good to have a second back to take some pressure and workload off of Brandon, but this by no means equals doom.
Also, I hope Rogers is half as good as his nickname is cool.
by Eyeheartfreedumb on Oct 27, 2009 3:44 PM CDT up reply actions
That would be fine and all
but aren’t you worried about the rumored wrist and rib injuries. If he’s gonna be the savior, we may have to baby him a bit for a game or two. Let Rogers take some carries. Let CUNKNNK’s wet dream heal a bit for the home stretch.

Holy fuck
Good thing I have a year of
eligibility remaining. 6’0 225lb downhill runner with bad knees, bad ankles, bad shoulder, and bulging discs. Yeah I am good for one series.
But seriously we are fucked. Why must we live every week like shark week?
And you can take that to the bank.

Um...
As Hawkeye X has mentioned in previous contexts, he is more of an “athlete,” while Brownlee was more of a “leader” or “lunchpail type” or “route-runner.”
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Damn
Guess that means HawkeyeX does not have “deceptive speed”, nor does he play the game “the right way”.

Being fucked
I have to just say – I’ve never fully understood why “being fucked” is a bad thing. I mean, unless you’re taking it from a guy (and you’re not into that sort of thing, NTTAWWT) or it’s some hideous she-wookie or your sister, “being fucked” is a good thing, isn’t it?
Besides, Iowa’s “been fucked” all season, and it’s working for us.
There's more than one definition of "fucked"
In this case, it’s being used in the drop-the-soap-in-a-maximum-security-prison sense. So, yes, we’re fucked.

I've got...
a client born and raised in Italy, college in Switzerland, naturalized American 15 years now, big ice hockey fan but no other sports, once asked me the difference between a Red Shirt Freshman and a True Freshman, walked in yesterday and said, “I hear your team’s star running back is out for the rest of the season,” and that’s when I realized that the votes were in, the jury is back, the whole world knows that We Are Totally, Utterly Fucked.
