That just isnt of interest to the local media for the most part. Here is a rare article from earlier in November pointing out Iowa's Academic All Americans. Iowa also has several ex-players doing very well. In the NFL and otherwise that are fine representations of the University. In the NFL you have all pros Aaron Kampan, Bob Sanders, and Nate Kaeding. You also have several others who have had solid careers including Casey Wiegman, Jared Devries, Colin Cole, Sean Considine, & Marcus Paschal among others. Outside of football you have Matt Whitaker who is a US Attorney, Chuck Hartlieb who is in finance in Des Moines. Mike Haight who runs the meat market in N Coralville. Robert Smith was or is a supervisor in Blackhawk County.<BR/><BR/>Most of the players go on to have normal productive lives, but of course the Press Citizen and it's corporate master Gannett don't want to cover that for the most part.<BR/><BR/>http://www.press-citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071108/HAWKS0104/71108006/1053/RSS02Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30130444.post-82887684469355040102007-11-28T11:09:00.000-06:002007-11-28T11:09:00.000-06:00You watch...Grassley will not kill this thing.
