in Iowa Hawkeyes Football
Email
PrintWith the season fast approaching, it's time to take a look at Iowa's schedule and profile one opposing player who could be an important factor in each game.
Date: September 10
Team: Iowa State
Player: Jake Knott
What you need to know:
Who is this jabroni?
He's a 6-2, 243 lb junior linebacker from Waukee, IA.
What has he accomplished?
Recorded 130 tackles last year, good enough for 2nd in the Big 12 and 12th in the nation with nearly 11 per game. Garnered 2nd team All Big 12 accolades and honorable mention for Big 12 Defensive POY.
Why should you be concerned about him?
- He's going to be on the cover of the Cyclone media guide. The Cyclone media guide is serious business.
- He was offered a baseball scholarship to Iowa.
- He's the chairman of the South Carolina Senate Invitations Committee and a Vietnam veteran.*
Why should you not be worried about him?
- Looks like he probably sunburns easily.
- Had surgery in the spring. Sources say it was either buttock implants or a broken arm.
- He's a poor decision-maker. For instance, he decided to play football at Iowa State.
What is the most likely outcome?
Nolan MacMillan spots him prancing around like a headless chicken on one of Iowa's nine end-arounds and decides to channel Marshall Yanda and plant him so fucking deep into the turf....
.......that his head pops out in China.
(You see, because China is on the other side of the world.)
Final Stat Line: 1 solo tackle and 15+ pile-jumps
*Probably a different Jake Knott.

Is very very true.

He has a brother, we should recruit him
Marvin McNutt all over again, same HS, Quarterback too.
Genius work again!

I am just surprised
that all these college athletes say they can’t hold down a job and play football. I mean this young man not only plays football for Iowa State but is in the South Carolina Legislature. Columbia, South Carolina is like 18 – 20 hrs away from Iowa State.
If he can do it, anyone can without the 18-20 hr commute.
All my good friends at BHGP helpled pick this most awesome name!

The Chinaman picture hurt my head
Don’t you know I’m hungover?

Hungover at noon on a Thursday?
Nice work.
Oh, and to keep it on topic, everytime I am reminded of the Yanda hit, a chill runs down my spine. Of all the games I have been to at Kinnik, it was the loudest hit I ever heard. Maybe not the nastiest, but the loudest. The crack of the pads was so loud, it honestly sounded like the stadium was empty.
Ankles! We don't need no stinking ankles!

You're right about it being the loudest hit
And it was pretty nasty too. I remember I went crazy and was cheering and whatnot and an isu fan right behind me started chewing me out (cause the guy was injured). I didn’t care back then but now I feel guilty about it.

I'm on a 5 week break from school
But who am I kidding? I’m usually hungover at work on Thursdays too.

My husband made it
Amatuer gourmet cook (his mom is an incredible cook and she had 4 boys and no girls, hence the cooking getting passed down). He’s from Ashland, WI (northern Wisconsin on Lake Superior, so that should say a lot) and did go to Johns Hopkins for undergrad, but went to Iowa for his MBA and MHA. I’m an Iowa grad (business major). We like good food. You should see our tailgating spread.

I will be at the ULM game on the 24th with a buddy, his son and my son.

Unfortunately we're only going to the Michigan game this year
But we still make tailgating food when watching games at home.

I was just teasing you
I wouldn’t crash your tailgate. I hope you have fun at the Michigan game though.

HFMR , great work
but a couple of things…..
1) what stadium did you photoshop the headplant to? It appears to have some bluish logo – Duke maybe?
2) contrary to popular beliefs, the other side of the world from Iowa City would put you in the middle of the Indian Ocean almost equidistant from Australia, India and Antarctica.
I swear the "robbed a place" was actually not ment as a smart ass remark. I just forgot that he actually robbed a place for a second. ~ justsomehawkeyefan
using the very website you posted though
If you zoom in and put the marker on Iowa City, in the other window, it says the nearest country is China. I know it’s not, but that’s what it says
Skol!
re #2:
That is presuming that the plant occurred at an angle running through the exact center of the earth, diameter-style. If the angle were off a hair, the result would be a chord, and quite feasibly China.

you missed the easiest one of all… wouldn’t it be dark in China when the sun is out in Iowa?
Anyone here old enough to remember DB? A real old school baseball coach...

Even his face shows that he's ISU through and through.
