Alot of high character coaches sure do miss when selecting high character players. Oh wait, I was thinking about St. Tress and Marky D not Kirk.

Kirk better GTFO before anymore peeks behind his curtain.

Haha, oh the typical Iowa jokes are too fresh.

 

I've heard he was suspended for something he and Kirk Ferentz felt was not a suspendable offense. Kirk wasn't happy and obviously Coker wasn't happy. What he did has yet to come out. A lot of speculation and most of it says he violated the UNIVERSITY code of conduct, not the teams so TTFWIW.

Wow, this is huge. Granted, I still think Vandenberg is underrated, but now that Coker is gone, and McNutt may very well declare, Iowa's could be in for a long season next year.

Then again, Ferentz has shown he's able to bring in quality talent (Stanzi, Clayborn, Coker, McNutt, etc.), so who knows who will emerge on Iowa's depth chart now.

How people get in trouble at Iowa such that they get suspended is beyond me.  Not to be a jerk, but what IS there in Iowa that allows you to do anything that offensive?

Too bad. He was a good running back, on his way to following in footsteps of Shonn Green; not as good, but Marcus has Sunday potential. Hopefully he lands on his feet somewhere else. But cheating is cheating, so in that regard, he needs to make some changes and better himself as to not stoop to the lows of cheating (getting caught anyway!).

All in all, as aleady stated numerous times, glad Michigan doesn't have to (try and) contain him again next year up in AA.

hasn't had a running back who started a single game finish out his four years with the school since Albert Young in 2007. Not that I feel bad for them having Shonn Greene jump ship early, but this run they're on is beyond ridiculous.

The reasoning behing his departure may have something to do with an "alleged" sexual assault back in October.  No charges are being pressed from what I saw.  No proof that this is why he is leaving, but is evidence to suggest.
