God smites another Iowa RB

Submitted by m1jjb00 on September 4th, 2011 at 9:58 AM

Freshman Iowa RB, Mika'il McCall broke his ankle yesterday and is out for the year. He had 9 carries for 61 yards, and so he looked to be an answer to the terrible lack of depth at RB. This is a big blow to the Hawkeyes.

More smiting of Iowa running backs, less smiting of Michigan defensive backs please.

Personally I'd never like to hope for smiting of college athletes.

Ideally yes... but if we've learned one thing these past few years, it's that the gods have an insatiable hunger for the bones, joints, and ligaments of young American athletes. They must be appeased, one way or another.

Would it be negative recruiting or simply be the menschy thing to do to let Harmon know he is taking his life into his hands if he goes to Iowa.

I hit 5,000 yesterday on a Thomas the Tank Engine post. Needless to say, it was awesome.

Coker got yanked for McCall because he couldn't hold on to the ball. If Coker can get that problem fixed, he will be a a top-three Big Ten running back. In his defense (to some extent), the Iowa game was being played in a monsoon as well (they had a half-hour, maybe more, lightning delay). It was unfortunate when McCall went out. The missus knew somehow immediately that it was all over for him, and she was PISSED.
