According to ESPNEWS bottom line, Broderick Binns and Jewel Hampton have been suspended for the first game of the year against Eastern Illinois for the alcohol related "incidents" in which they were involved. In related news, over at Cyclone Fanatic there have been at least 3 suspected suicides and 2 civil disobedience arrests. All are believed to be related to the University of Iowas control of the state judicial system and thier bias of all things related to the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Ferentz Covered This
Yesterday in the 15 minute side-bar press conference that took place prior to him going on stage. Not sure if that means they will only be suspended for that game, or if that is just the first game. I didn’t read any follow-up on that.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

Not able to watch the Pre-presser presser.

Oh no...
What the fuck are we going to do without a running back who hasn’t played in a year anyways and a defensive lineman that has a replacement almost as good as him on the best defensive line in the country? We might actually only beat Eastern Illinois 42-3.

It's the boilerplate
One game at a time, but I really hope they buy into it. We should be good, yes, but I hope they don’t overlook anybody.
It never gets to be easy

UNI would beat
Eastern Illinois 42-3. Come on now… Nobody shows UNI any respect when they would beat I’d say at least 30% of the teams in D1 football.
Please, not this again.

The old...
REALLY GOOD FCS TEAM IS BETTER THAN LOTS OF FBS TEAMS argument.
A Voice From Kinnick - A Hawkeye Blog
Fine, don't bite on that argument.
I can let that go. But can we agree that last years UNI team would do work against Eastern?
Well...
(Preamble: I’m sure most people know this, but when I say FCS in this post, I’m talking about Division I-A, like UNI. When I say FBS, I’m talking about Division I, like Iowa or Eastern Michigan).
EIU made the FCS playoffs, and UNI did not. Here is what the teams did against common opponents:
vs. Illinois St (UNI lost @ISU 22-20 in the last game of the year, EIU won at EIU 31-6 in the first game of the year).
vs. Southern Illinois (UNI lost @UNI 27-20, EIU lost in the playoffs @SIU 48-7).
vs. Indiana State (UNI won @UNI 62-7, EIU won @ISU 31-0).
Obviously, UNI played at Iowa close but lost 17-16, and EIU got beat at Penn State 52-3.
I’m sure EIU was helped by their weaker conference, and if the teams had played in the first half of the year (when UNI was killing everyone except Iowa) UNI surely would have won.
I think UNI might have won toward the end of the year also, but UNI could not beat the better teams in their conference at that point. In their losses, UNI never put up more than 20 points. I could see EIU making a game of it toward the end of the year, especially if the game were played at EIU.
I want to say that UNI could beat a bunch of FBS teams, but you must limit that to the absolute worst teams (bottom of the MAC, bottom of the Sun Belt, maybe bottom of the WAC, maybe a bad BCS conference team once in awhile [like Iowa State when they were quite down]).
But, UNI would struggle to beat a lot of FBS teams, you can look at Western Kentucky’s record since they moved up to FBS as a case study.
In terms of resources and fan support, UNI is probably on par with the absolute bottom of FBS (like Eastern Michigan). And (whether good or bad) UNI has been taking chances with players with character issues in the last few years, which allows them to bring in some transfers who were FBS-level players in terms of ability and measurables.
However, the FBS schools probably get those guys more often, so if the FBS coach doesn’t have his head up his butt, he should probably beat UNI more often than not.

Never count the Sex Panthers out, they're formidable, and illegal in nine countries...
…they’ve done studies, you know— sixty percent of the time it works they win, every time.
The rest of the time they smell like Bigfoot’s dick.

Barring more information/details
This sounds about right. Though I wouldn’t have been upset with a longer suspension for Binns because it is a DWI (though the particulars of his case make it a close-ish call).
And until David Sims sits a game, methinks the good folks at Cyclone Fanatic should shut the fuck up.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
God, you're such a hypocrate.
Think of the poor Iowa children, won’t you?!

You're right, I was mistaken
Clearly, Hampton drinking/being in bar underage is such a dire threat to civilized society that he should be immediately thrown off the team. And Binns, well he should spend the rest of his life behind bars for his cavalier disregard to the safety of the children of University Heights, who were probably out playing stickball in the bright sunshine of midnight, by driving home.
Sims, on the other hand, was doing nothing more than trying to help society by demonstrating the perils and relative ease of credit card fraud that exist in our modern life. I’m quite certain he was probably even acting in some sort of state-sanctioned action, thus the whole thing is a big mix-up. And who doesn’t need $400 worth of shoes? (though, to be fair, at least it wasn’t $2000 worth of hats)

$2000 worth of hats and $400 worth of shoes...
So that is how haberdashery is staying solvent in today’s economy.

I committed haberdashery once...
…when I was younger, faster, and needed the money.
(Wait, what?)

My mind is all over the place...
…while reading your comment I imagined Binns driving a Chevy (?) Cavalier like my folks had in the early 90s, and wondered how he’d fit behind the wheel (not that he’s that big, just that they are not roomy cars).

Did anyone else notice the absence of Jordan Bernstein and Adrian Clayborn
From these suspension comments? Have their punishments already come down the pipe, or are they pending?
Me gustan los estados unidos.
From what I recall
Clayborn basically got “time served” – Ferentz apparently never believed he was in the wrong enough to justify suspension. Read somewhere yesterday (Mas Casa? Link from FOTP Planned Sick Dayes?) that Bernstine wasn’t going to be suspended.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Clearly
KF thinks that Bernstine’s suspension is the fact that he allowed another sophomore to pass over him on the depth chart.
Are you saying Bernstine's suspension has been passed by another suspension...
