It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It Sets the DVR

Now we can see this on network television
Check Your Local Listings. Hot on the heels of news that Iowa's home opener (now just 95 days away!) will kickoff at 11:00 CDT comes Friday's television announcements. First, the somewhat surprising: Iowa-ISU, now scheduled to start at 2:30 CDT on September 11, will be aired regionally on ABC and elsewhere on ESPN2. That game had been aired on the likes of Versus, Big Ten Network, and Fox Sports Net in the past few years; expectations for Iowa, last year's relative success for Iowa State, and a weak slate of games in week two likely get the credit. Also, Iowa's game in the desert with Arizona previously announced as a 9:30 CDT kick on September 18 will be shown on ESPN.
Yeah, but Will He Make the Junior Goodwill Games? Iowa freshman phenom and NCAA wrestling champion at 125 pounds Matt McDonough qualified for the Junior World Championships with a victory over Gopher recruit Nick Dardanes at last week's Junior World Qualifiers in Colorado Springs. McDonough will wrestle at 132 pounds at the Junior Worlds, set to be held this July in Hungary.
SQUEEZE PLAYZ: Fresh off its victory over Iowa in the Big Ten baseball tournament, Minnesota draws (gulp) Cal State Fullerton in the NCAA regional. In future news, Minnesota has been bounced from the NCAA tournament. Speaking of Gophers, former Brewster recruit/Minnesota fetish object Sam Maresh, who missed out on pretty much his entire Gopher career after being diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, has apparently failed out at Minnesota and will transfer to a community college. Our friends at Eleven Warriors pen the definitive case for a cold-weather bowl game. Doc Saturday profiles Arizona quarterback Nick Foles. And, for those of you in the legal field or simply interested in the business of professional sports, Smart Football's writeup of the Supreme Court's decision in the NFL/American Needle case is pure antitrust law porn.

I'm thinking that many were hoping that American Needle
Would be the case that took the NFL down a peg or two. But in the end, it’s just another USFL v. NFL. Except this time there was no 3 dollar check.

Well
It really was a case of the NFL reaching too far. They, the NFL, didn’t need the decision, but pushed the case trying to get a very, very broad anti-trust exemption. In the end, it bit them in the ass (and possibly weakens the case for a more limited anti-trust exemption for the league).

was a subsidiary of BALCO.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

Brodell return
I’m hoping for many more returns like that in the coming seasons. I was at that Iowa-ISU game in 2008, and I think in my 4 years at Iowa, I only ever saw that one punt return for a touchdown. I honestly don’t remember any other special teams returns for TDs…
The only one I can even think would be close
was Jovon Johnson vs Ball St. That was Tate’s first year though so maybe not.

You're not mistaken.
There was a major drought in special teams TDs for a while. Until DJK’s KR TD against OSU last year, Iowa hadn’t had a KR TD since CJ Jones’ KR TD against USC in the 03 Orange Bowl.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Remember when
the NCAA moved back kickoffs to the 30 (in 2005 I think?) and everyone was talking about the coming explosion of kickoff returns for TDs? Turns out all that happened was that the average return ended up 5 yards further upfield than before.

Excuse me for my bellicosity. And spelling. Bellicosity and spelling.

Lets not forget the greatest INT return of them all.
ADAM SHADA! 101 yards wasn’t it? All I remember is that Klink ran with him for over 80 yards and had a keyblock to spring him across the line.
Think it was more like 81
But an epic return nonetheless. Against Purdue I think? I remember thinking when that INT happened that Shada was kind of feast-or-famine, either he’d pick off the opposing QB or get totally abused in coverage. Unfortunately, it turned out that being James Hardy’d was more the rule than the exception.
As a side note, I picked up Hardy way, WAY too early in a mock draft in my fantasy league when he was a rookie based solely on the logic of “Hey, he made Iowa look like a special-ed high school team, with his size he should be solid in the pros.” I was so very, very, very wrong. yet another example of Shada causing me angst.

It was actually 98 yards
It was against Purdue, and he picked it off just short of the goal line and took it the other way for the TD.

Ha Ha!
I was in school during the Tim Dwight era. I was surprised when the Hawks DIDN’T get a return score.
I was at that game.
Brodell’s return was the pulling of the plug, for the machine that kept the cyclones hopes alive. Beautiful return and some REALLY solid tackling by I.S.U.’s special teams.

I was jumping up and down in my living room with my three day old son...
…screaming silently. I called out “Touchdown Iowa, Touchdown Iowa” like Dolph, my son woke up and I sang the fight song to put him back to sleep (later that day I sang him back to sleep again, only this time with the “Hawkeye Victory Polka.”
Both songs make him smile a lot now. And he’ll know the words before this fall.
