Pryor Picks Ohio State

In a story I was just reading, It is official:
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, the nation's No. 1 high school football player, has finally made his college choice.

When Signing Day arrived in February, the 6-foot-5, 235-pounder from Jeannette, Pa., wasn't ready to make his decision.

As time progressed, he knew he was headed to the Big Ten. However, he had yet to decide between Ohio State and Michigan. After much research and discussion, Pryor announced on Wednesday he's going to be a Buckeye.

Hopefully, the University of Iowa Hawkeyes will pick up some good recruits, as our team struggled last year, and needs a Great Year to redeem itself!!

Cool Florida Quarterback In Record Books

Congratulations to Tim Tebow of Florida, who is now in the history books of college football.

Florida coach Urban Meyer didn't tell his players they were eliminated from the Southeastern Conference race Saturday. He didn't have to, either. Tim Tebow became the first player in major college history with at least 20 touchdowns passing and rushing in the same season and Andre Caldwell broke the school record for career receptions.

May this young man receive the Heismann trophy and then make history in the NFL!

Hawkeyes Look GOOD In Loss

Alright the University of Iowa Hawkeyes lost this evening, but I was very impressed with how well this young team played, and I think we shall have a good year this year, and an excellent team next year. We are going to beat Indiana next week for homecoming, and will have other wins, and perhaps some stunners.

No. 9 Wisconsin needed a fourth-quarter rally to avoid an upset bid by Iowa, turning to P.J. Hill for the go-ahead score in a 17-13 victory Saturday night. Nothing came easy for the Badgers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten), who gradually overcame a stingy Hawkeyes defense to extend their winning streak to 13 games — the longest active streak in major college football.

Wisconsin was given one touchdown by the officials and lucked out when a flag should have been thrown in the 4th quarter, but was not!

Congratulations to these freshman who took to the field and made a fine showing against Wisconsin!! Keep up the spirit and the fight will be yours next week!!

Happy Homecoming!!

Cool 15 Year Old Goes To College

Thought we would start the week out with a cool person of the week story from now on. This first cool person is a girl heading to college.

Brittney Exline is too young to vote, drive a car or go to an R-rated movie, but at the age of just 15 she is beginning her Ivy League career Wednesday when classes start at the University of Pennsylvania. She said she doesn't really notice the age gap between herself and her 17- and 18-year-old peers, and neither do they.

Hopefully, she will have fun in college, excells in everything she does, and finds a career that benefits her and the country as a whole. Good Luck!!

If you have any cool person stories you would like to send please send them to me at danielcarvelkepler@yahoo.com.

Thanks and have a Great Labor Day!!

Hawkeyes WIN 16-3

Congratulations to Coach Ferentz and the Hawkeye team. May this winning start continue!! HOORAY!!!

Albert Young gave Iowa some good news. The senior ran for 144 yards and a touchdown to lead the Hawkeyes to a 16-3 victory over Northern Iillinois in the season opener at Soldier Field on Saturday.

With the memories of a 6-7 season still lingering, Iowa took another hit when leading receiver Dominique Douglas and backup Anthony Bowman were suspended indefinitely for their role in a credit card scandal two weeks ago.

Hopefully, everything will be resolved and the team well go on stronger than ever. Best of Luck!! And Again HOORAY!! Go Hawks!!
