Re: This Is Why They Are Called clowns!

haha they're called the clowns because Tiller was ruled academically ineligible?
Wow... nice. And you even made a separate thread?!?! Even better!!!

Re: This Is Why They Are Called clowns!

was Tiller slated to be the starting QB? I haven't paid attention

Re: This Is Why They Are Called clowns!

He was in a three way battle with Steele Jantz and Jared Barnett. Rhoads said at the beginning of camp he would name the starter Aug 20th. Today he named Jantz as the starting QB.

Re: This Is Why They Are Called clowns!

That is awesome news. This may be a really silly question but....wouldn't they have known he was ineligible at the end of the last academic year? Is this based on summer classes? If so he is a bigger yo-yo than Sam aka lakesbison.

You go on academic probation first, which he was on, you then get another semester to get your grades up, which he did not. Really stupid on his part.
However, we're really lucky we brought in a JUCO QB, otherwise, we would be starting a RS fresh or soph.

We thought we had that advantage last year in Ames. We had a 1st team All American Juco QB. The game moves so much faster than Juco as you witnessed last year by our QB. I love the dudes name though. He has not seen this kind of speed.

This is true. The speed of a the game (even at the FCS level) is much much faster than anything he saw at the JUCO level.

Players like Cam Newton aside, who was a Florida recruit right out of HS, JUCO's at the QB position typically don't go D1 and do a ton of great things.

By Ames, I assume you mean Cedar Falls?

I didn't say it was an advantage for us to bring in a JUCO. However, JUCO is better than starting a true Freshman or RS fresh in this situation. Do all JUCO's work out for their team and make an instant impact? No. Do some JUCO's make an instant impact? Yes. I can site some pretty obvious examples, but I won't. Just because Rennie didn't pan out last year like some wanted, doesn't mean Jantz won't at ISU.

Never assume...I meant Ames. Steele will panic, just like Rennie did last year. You would be better off playing ndsu if Steele will be your starter. But that would mean lakes being in town. I hope I am spelling his name correctly. Don't think I am suggesting the kid will suck. I think he is a stud, huge arm. Just know he will have his Juco moments on 9/3/2011.

Will he make mistakes? More than likely.
Will Rennie make mistakes? More than likely.
Will UNI make mistakes as a whole? More than likely.
Will ISU make mistakes as a whole? More than likely.
Will Steele Jantz actually panic? I doubt it.

Don't panic.

And remember your towel.

Yes, because had he not been clowing around he would've made the grades. But from everything I'd been hearing out of the ISU big top is that Jantz was the front runner and should be your starter. Rhoads may have named his starter because of his first name alone because he wants a man named Steele to ride up and down Ames on the back of his Harley with him.
