Iowa's TE declare for the draft and will skip bowl

I wonder how many we have

Lots and lots of opportunities for young guys to get some practice and game action.

How will everyone feel if we have some guys skip the game ? I wouldn't like it but would respect their decision. Some of them come from mighty humble beginnings and have an opportunity to make things better for their whole families. Wouldn't change my gratitude to them for their accomplishment to State one bit.

Like I said in another thread, Simmons, IMO, has the least to gain and most to lose. Sweat a little more to gain, and Abram the most to gain. That being said, I wouldn’t fault any of them for sitting out the bowl game and protecting their own interest. They have done a lot for our university and I thank them for it. Tip of the hat to those guys, either way.

They got a lot from our university as well. They signed up to play, so play they should. You make a commitment...you honor it. Take out an insurance policy against injury and play the game. All those guys are gonna get big bucks if they don't get injured, so the cost of an insurance policy would be peanuts in comparison, particularly for one game.

Not playing Ole Miss so the cheap low shots will not happen and I think Iowa is probably a good clean team to match up against. They better be ready to get hit and hit hard by our defense.
