To Catch A Predator, Part Two
Good evening. I'm Stone Phillips, with Dateline NBC. Yesterday, we brought you the harrowing tale of Danny Hope, a 52-year-old teacher of football, who tried to recruit our 15-year-old decoy, "Brian Allen." There are more targets of this investigation, however, and here's Chris Hansen with To...
A Day In The Life: How College Football Recruits Are Really Scouted Before National Signing Day
/Scene: At a Division I-AA college football practice facility in the middle of nowhere approximately 300 high school football players are loosening up on the practice turf and running drills. The players run the gamut from Sophomores to Seniors, all hoping to be noticed by the scouts and given...
HE'S A DUZEY OF A PLAYER INASMUCH AS THAT IS HIS LAST NAME
Little caring is creepy update. Continuing last season's trend of knocking out recruiting earlier rather than later, Iowa picked up yet another commitment on Thursday, verbally securing the services of MI WR/TE Jake Duzey (now do you see what we did there with the headline? DO YOU?). Duzey's a big...
It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It Is Going On Tour
We haven't seen a buddy comedy this potent since Heat Wave and Jack: It's spring, which means it's I-Club tour time. For those few unfamiliar, the I-Club is a group of Hawkeye boosters, and there are chapters scattered all across Iowa as well as strategic locations nationwide (Chicago, Minneapolis,...
Maize n Brew's Guide to Jackassery: How to be a Creepy Recruiting Troll on the Message Boards
The off-season does strange things to us. We no longer cry over the split second decisions of teenage athletes. We leave that last half inch of bourbon in the bottle when we throw it out and start another (because finishing it would be the sign of a problem). We spend time with our families in our...
CREEPYPALOOZA 2010: Linebackers, Defensive Backs, and Centaurs*
Sure, caring is creepy. That's why we generally leave it to the Rivals guys. But once their signature goes on the dotted line of an Iowa letter of intent, caring ceases to be creepy and becomes essential. So, without further ado, your objects of affection and/or scorn (sometimes both at the same...

Happy Creepy Day, everyone! Today's Wednesday, February 3, so it's time for the letters of intent to go out and get signed. Re-acquaint yourself with the commits, make your heart-filled glittery Blingees to Marcus Coker and James Morris, and let's get this party started. We'll be providing some...
Iowa Picks Up Commitment From Hitchens at Strong Safety
We're happy to announce Iowa's latest (and possibly last) commitment of the season. In response to David Cato's inevitable transfer, Iowa offered a safety in every sense of the word: he plays safety, and he was a safety pick, one who wouldn't have been offered unless something went wrong (see Cato,...
It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It Holds Its Breath
We thought the Superman cape meant you were impervious to this stuff, Jewel. We still think the Kryptonite kneepads were a horrible mistake. Um... uh... uh-oh. There's an ominous tone around Iowa City these days, and it's all revolving around one Jewel Hampton. There was a Bleacher Report...
