Sid: Gophers football team has built a good relationship with Iowa Western CC

Iowa Western connection

The Gophers football team has built a good relationship with Iowa Western Community College, and has three players from that school on this year’s roster.

Linebacker Cody Poock played in 12 games as a sophomore last season and finished second on the team with 99 tackles, including 5½ for loss, and was named All-Big Ten honorable mention by the media.

Defensive back Ace Rogers played in only three games last year because of an injury, but he played well when he had the chance, including six tackles in the opener against TCU. Rogers is expected to be a starter this season.

Merrick Jackson arrived from Iowa Western this season after being named a NJCAA first-team All-America last year. Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said earlier this year that Jackson should add a lot of depth to the defensive line.

Unfortunately the Gophers didn’t have a good outcome when top recruit Jeff Jones ended up as Iowa Western, as the Minneapolis Washburn product was kicked off the team in April for violating team rules, charged with felony drug possession in May and landed in Hennepin County jail in July for violating the terms of his bail.

Great god, I hope Sid is not their spokesperson. If he is I won't be able to understand anything that is said.

In all seriousness Sid seems to be getting worse faster. It is sad to hear him struggle on the Sports Huddle.

I wish I could find the link to the post-game press conference where Rodney Smith was on the mic and couldn't understand a thing Sid was asking. Not knowing who Sid was, his expression was priceless. A high point of the early season.
