More Charges for the Hawkeyes..

Iowa right tackle Kyle Calloway was charged with a DUI early this morning, and confessed to the cops that he drank "seven or eight beers". But yet he blew a .106? I call shenanigans on that one.

Kyle Calloway is 317 pounds. Meaning, he's one beefy dude. So, using a trusty BAC Calculator, we find that Calloway would have had to drink those eight beers in less than 10 minutes (which, if that's the case....what a beast!) to have blown what he did. So I think that somone's fibbin'....

Either way, it means the same thing to the Hawkeyes. One half of what may be the Big Ten's best pair of tackles is suspended for a game. Granted, that game will probably be one of the two cushy nonconference matchups (UNI or Arkansas State...scary!), but it's slightly unsettling that so early into the summer we already have a suspension. Foreshadowing? God, I hope not.

What's Going On Today

Stuff you may or may not care about…

The University of Iowa reinstated the three football players (including Ferentz’s son) who had been suspended because of public intoxication charges. All three players pled guilty. Had they been a little wiser, they would have hired the Florida Gators' lawyer… now there’s someone who knows how to get a football player out of a jam.


Next week, members of the FBS plan to propose changes to the current BCS system to the Bowl Championship Series Oversight Committee, being thoroughly peeved at the BCS’s diss on Utah last season. Raise your hands if you think they stand a chance in hell against the billion dollar conglomerate that is the BCS. Yeah, me neither.

Finally, for those not sick of hearing about how the Big Ten needs to add another team to the conference, here’s another article about the big debate.
