Mackey Award Watch List
Iowa's tight end Tony Moeaki has made the preseason watch list for the 2009 John Mackey Award. The watch list is comprised of 30 players including 6 from the Big Ten. Moeaki, who has been plagued by injuries, is ready to have a great season and lead the team to a Big Ten Championship. And, he certainly has the potential to do so. In 2005, he was the number 1 tight end recruit in the country, and when healthy, he has shown why with a career 46 catches for 566 yards and seven TDs.
Media Fact Book
In case you have about 10 hours to kill, he is the Media Fact Book for the 2009 Iowa Football Season. It's 205 page full of Hawkeye glory, including bios, stats, previews, factoids, and just about anything else you can imagine. I'm on about page 30 myself.
Water Tower Petition
I know I just posted about painting the Kinnick water tower a couple of days ago, but I thought I'd re-share the link to the petition in case anyone missed it. As of 12:30 PM August 2 there are 2,366 signatures. There are a couple more good ones on there too including a previous player and a previous president:
1891. George W Bush - If you could paint it with, um, those, um Weapons of Massiveness Destructionism we never did find in Iraqistan
1857. Brad Banks - TIGER HAWK
Angerer Among Big Ten's Best
Here's a good article from the Quad City Times on Pat Angerer. It highlights his high school years up through last season. I don't have a lot to say about it other than to give it a read.
