are you KIDDING me?
Shonn Greene does it again.
what an awesome kid – what a huge heart!
You’ve heard the story, a Freshman sensation in 2005 but injury ridden, then grades slipped, wasn’t even at Iowa or playing football in 2007; working at a furniture store going to classes at Kirkwood Community College. He could have gone home to New Jersey.
Today – Two touchdowns – one 75 yards of beauty; the second, more impressive, running OVER people for a 15 yard run… 30 rushes 209 yards for the game – should keep him at least in 3rd place in the country. He’s the only player who’s rushed for 100 yards in each game.
He has one more season of eligibility, but I can’t believe he’ll stay. He’s ready; he’s healthy and he’s 23. He should have a great future in the NFL; we wish him every success (and a Chicago Bear uniform).
Some hokey-pokey in the locker room today….
Iowa 22 – Purdue 17

His play was #3 on best plays from Saturday shown on ESPN this AM. Was watching while getting ready for church and they mention Iowa – and Shonn Green and I’m like “I know about him – that’s Carolyn’s guy!” Good for him. The ESPN guys were speculating whether he’d play for another year or go to the NFL — what do you think?

no, he’ll never play his senior year, no need to. It was lucky for IOWA and good on him to get his life straight and give us this great year.
Hope he gets 100 against MINN next week, then a decent BOWL representation.
Go Greene!
