In Which Jordan Bernstine Likes To Hit People

PrintSay hello to Jordan Bernstine. Jordan Bernstine likes to hit people with great ferocity. (Skip ahead to 0:56 if you want to see him lay a punishing block on a punt return that would make Marshall Yanda's infamous block from the 2006 Iowa State game tip its metaphorical hat in admiration.)
(A massive hat tip to YouTube user c098730 for uploading this clip. Your efforts are much appreciated.)
Someone in the gamethread on Saturday called him BOOMSTINE upon seeing that hit, which may be the best nickname someone on this site has bestowed on an Iowa player since C.J. Fiedorowicz became The Polish Hat. Bernstine is bringing the lumber on tackles with the sort of brutal power that we haven't seen from an Iowa defensive back since, well, probably Bob Sanders. Hopefully Bernstine has a few more highlights in store for us over the course of the season.

Why the over zealous outro crop?!
C’mon man!

He is the middle-class man's Bob Sanders.
Also, Kevin Kugler is a great play-by-play guy. I really do think he’s awesome. He gets names and numbers right. He describes the action well, and he allows his color guy to talk (whether it’s insightful or not).
meh
That was a great sequence, have to think it sent a message to the warhawks

And there were a lot of UL-M guys receiving medical treatment by the 4th quarter. We really did beat them up.
Just beat jNW.

BOOMSTINE
I love it.
He sired a baseball team... An orchestra, if you count the bastards!

He actually takes out two 2 guys with 1 shot
and Watches them fall over
Dear Diary, Kevin is so hot. Today he was raking the yard. God I wish he'd throw me into that pile of leaves.
I didn't see that during the game, but caught it here. I agree, that was beastly.

Go to this
Link. You’ve probably seen it. If you haven’t, don’t watch the full video (it’s bad) and don’t listen to the music (LL SUCKS). Just fast forward to 1:04. Yeah…that’s what it reminds me of.
Year after year
a relatively unheralded senior or seniors step up to lead by example. It is looking like Boomstine and Nard Dawg are taking up the mantle. These are the annual stories that make a season.
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
Anybody remember the 55-0 game
when Bernstine was going down on punt coverage, grabbed his guy, and threw him into the return man, thus causing a fumble. Between that play and the second coming of Bob Sanders I saw on Sunday, it’s a shame he had to suffer all those injuries.
Definitely would have loved seeing a few more years of Boomstine. Hopefully he makes up for all the missed hits this year.

I was thinking of the same exact play
I just couldn’t remember in which game he did it. Why, oh WHY was he not on the field more last year? I would have GLADLY run with 2 LBs and a nickle package all year long if it meant keeping Bernstine out there as a second SS. He could have been a SS/LB hybrid. It should have happened.

I don't think he was healthy all year.

The hit can be seen here at about 1:40 in

That's it alright
Thanks for the link, it’s just what I needed to supplement my morning coffee.

Add the punt coverage helping down the ball inside the 5
and I would say he had a hell of a day.
Damn you super sperm!
I hope he plays for the Chicago Bears.
That way he’d JORDAN BERNSTINE BEARS GET IT AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!11

There was another nice block on that punt return from number 30something, couldn’t really make out who it was clearly

'09 PSU block
Anyone remember the block in the ‘09 PSU game on the INT by Angerer? I think it was either Binns or Ballard absolutely decleated someone but you could only catch a glimpse of it as it was not the focal point of the play. I’m pretty sure it was Binns. I loved that defense.
I think I know what you're talking about and I thought it was Ballard.
I think he cleaned out an OL. Nasty.

Yep, it was Ballard.
Not only did he decleat the PSU player, but the hit made his own helmet fly off as well from the impact. It was beautiful.

Yes, you are right
Found it on an Angerer POW highlight reel. It was Ballard. Someone needs to put together an all-time Hawkeye hits video.
Um
Yeah, I remember. Over and over.

My folks were Lincoln grads... early 1950s
My maternal grandmother lived about 2 blocks from Lincoln (I went to Roosevelt)… I used to park my car at her house when we’d play Lincoln and/or use Hutchens field for a game against another Metro Conference team in the 1970s. (Wow, I’m old).

Yanda's hit
Possibly the most violent hit I’ve ever witnessed in any nonmotorized sport. You know it’s violent when the recipient could be termed a victim. Clearly, that ISU player was a victim.
It's so sad how a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wild dogs.

The Hawks are second only to Florida
Over the last 3 years in team picks. This can only get better with an enforcer like him in the backfield. As a receiver, would you really want to lay out quite as much knowing he’s back there laying the lumber? This equates to more tipped passes and more takeaways.
Bend but don’t break relies on offensive miscues. Bernstein’s a force.
