Young might have a shot at practice squad for the Vikings, I would love another Hawkeye.

Hey another Hawkeye fan

You betcha, I was born and raised a Hawkeye. I have had the pleasure of watching a couple games at Kinnick (best place to watch football imo) and I have been to a few basketball games. I have actually got to witness a Bob Knight meltdown in person, which is one of my favorite memories.
