I myself was a very good student, but a perfectly awful quarterback. Not even good at the video game football.

Anyone remember that goofball, Larry Miller from '81 to '84?

Yes, I do. I remember him signing a free-agent contract during the strike with the Vikings I believe.

According to this he is going to be an assistant at Syracuse: http://iowa.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?f...id=940&style=2

While I wouldn't take anything from a fan message board as absolute truth without some sort of confirmation (I don't care if newspaper guys do it sometimes, that doesn't make it right), I don't think that would be a bad move for Eric, if he isn't able to catch on with a pro team.

He has some great football smarts (or so his collegiate playing would indicate), and I think he has the potential to make a great coach.

It would be a great move for Syracuse as Eric could show the Orange how to win games in a Dome...

I'm not sure how the pay ranks compared to the beginning levels of college coaching. But does anyone think Eric would excel in the AFL?

Great decision maker, handles the offense, excellent passing accuracy, any questions about his arm strength would be moot.

UNI QB's?

Johnston
Warner
Berg
Fortney
Beard
Helming
Petrie
Sanders

I'm sure I'm missing some in the last 15 years or so...but weren't all of these UNI starting QB's pretty decent students? I'd bet that they all graduated with at least the same GPA as the average UNI student...many were probably higher than the UNI general student population.

You can add Griff Jurgens to the list. He was a decent student.

Does Jason Jones fit in there?

So is the Syracuse thing official? I heard it mentioned on a local radio show, but was wondering if they were going with Hawkeye Report as a source....

I'm wondering if that particular newspaper has a valid source for that article, or if they're going off message board chatter.

or maybe I just question articles that refer to "notre dame university" (that would be like Iowa University, or Northern Iowa University)
