Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God Strikes Again
This time it's true freshman Barkley Hill. Knee injury, and it sounds bad.

and the statistical probability of this happening is approximately 1 in Craig James getting elected.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:00 AM ^
Craig james getting elected=o
so 1/0=nothing?
August 19th, 2012 at 8:07 AM ^
lim x->0 1/x
equates to infinity.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:26 AM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 2:04 AM ^
That's becuase Craig James* killed 5 hookers while at SMU
August 19th, 2012 at 8:37 AM ^
..... allegedly ..... let's not smear somebody's reputation .... even though Craig James has neither confirmed nor denied that he KILLED 5 HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU(!)
August 19th, 2012 at 1:24 PM ^
Remember the five.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:02 AM ^
I like those odds..^
August 19th, 2012 at 2:05 AM ^
Injuries are to Iowa RBs >/= Death is to Hookers who cross paths with Craig James
August 19th, 2012 at 2:10 AM ^
I think it is fairly clear that Craig James is AIRBHG
August 19th, 2012 at 1:25 PM ^
That's him on the right, btw.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:08 AM ^
There has to be an Iowa blog somewhere that has a "Never Forget" mural ten times the size of ours. This is beyond absurd.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:08 AM ^
This is ridiculous...wtf are they doing in their practices?
August 19th, 2012 at 2:13 AM ^
Maybe their dong forest is made out of aluminum baseball bats?
August 19th, 2012 at 2:35 AM ^
would it still be a forest?
August 19th, 2012 at 2:58 AM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 6:16 PM ^
made of wood.
August 19th, 2012 at 8:46 AM ^
Have they forgotten how to stretch? (we could give them pointers)
This goes far beyond statistical anomolies here. Time to hire some paranormal investigators.
August 19th, 2012 at 11:52 AM ^
who has the family guy clip of peter trying to be the human jack for president Clinton's car after it has a flat tire and explains the correct procedure for doing so.
Edit: Found:
Starts at roughly the 1:12 mark.
August 19th, 2012 at 12:10 PM ^
Obviously.
The only question now is who is pushing the pins. I don't know a lot about the history of Iowa football, but it shouldn't be hard to come up with a list of the usual suspects.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:24 AM ^
Still laughing.
(Edit: Okay, not laughing any more. And now I feel bad because no matter the odds of it happening at the same position, it seriously sucks for the player and I wish him a full and speedy recovery)
August 19th, 2012 at 10:37 AM ^
I share your guilty confession. If I were an Iowa fan, I don't know how much more throw my hands up in the air I could be doing at this point.
August 19th, 2012 at 12:16 PM ^
I'm pretty sure Iowa fans hit that point when Coker transferred. They're broken and planning a straight air-raid offense instead.
August 19th, 2012 at 12:23 PM ^
This will only serve to anger AIRBHG. His bloodlust must be slaked or his wrath will be awesome and terrible to behold.
August 19th, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^
Had to know it would enrage him.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:20 AM ^
3 RB ACL's ago you had to feel bad for them , now this is just getting ridiculous. It's got to be an inside job! Some kid who was buried on the depth chart is systematically eleminating his competition with a bat and a cleverly hidden saw
August 19th, 2012 at 2:51 AM ^
It's either that, or Tanya Harding and Jeff Gillooly must really hate Iowa.
August 19th, 2012 at 8:49 AM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 2:22 AM ^
there have been so many i lost track of how many RB's they have lost.
someone please remind me.
always hate to see a young man go down.
August 19th, 2012 at 3:00 AM ^
I think it is number 7 just this year. Coker transferred, McCall left the team, Michael Malloy lost his scholarship for being arrested, Canzeri tore his ACL, Garmon got arrested, De'Andre Johnson got kicked off the team, and now hill.
August 19th, 2012 at 9:45 AM ^
But part of me is astounded that this is ACTUALLY real.
August 19th, 2012 at 12:19 PM ^
This post does a good job of summing the period prior to wolverine_chemist's summary:

Last thing they need right now is for Vandenberg to get some injury because hes playing RB
August 19th, 2012 at 2:57 AM ^
he would than become a quasi RB and probably get hurt as a result.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:46 AM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 3:41 AM ^
After all this, Iowa may need an exorcist. Or five.
August 19th, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
Can you exorcise a god?
August 19th, 2012 at 6:21 PM ^
says yes.
though you'll probably get stiffed on the bill.
August 19th, 2012 at 4:43 AM ^
Tough for Iowa when there was a thread with the exact same "Strikes again" title less than one month ago: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/angry-iowa-running-back-hating-god-strikes-again

According to HawkeyeNation, it was the final play of the scrimmage actually, so not only is AIRBHG, well, angry, he has definite poetic flair. Depthwise, it leaves them with Damon Bullock, a guy who splits time at linebacker and air, I think. Still, you hate to see athletes go down with injuries which, depending on the severity, could significantly alter their football career.
That being said, they are one more visit from AIRBHG away from having to pass on 3rd and 1, or if not this, then Vandenberg can pick up some of the rushing game. His 78 attempts for 61 yards last year sounds very promising
August 19th, 2012 at 8:00 AM ^
Has to consist of 10 RB's each year just to keep up with AIRBHG.
August 19th, 2012 at 9:01 AM ^
At this point, what RB would agree to go to Iowa?
August 19th, 2012 at 3:05 PM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 9:48 AM ^
Let's not go overboard here. If they lose 7 RBs a year, then they only need to recruit 8 to have a healthy RB. So 10 is probably too many.
August 19th, 2012 at 8:19 AM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 8:33 AM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 11:15 AM ^
August 19th, 2012 at 11:14 AM ^
Next year they bring in Mike Leach and go all Air Raid on the B1G? That's as likely as Michigan going to a spread based on small yet fast athletes.
