Welcome to the community!

yes, welcome aboard!

Welcome to the community!

Thanks,  but I should admit that I am not actually new.  I am just an old guy posting with a new user name and new email.   I am known in my alternate profile as LittlePig,  but I've wanted to change my user name for years to something that identifies me more as an Iowa fan. 

I was originally thinking of changing my LittlePig username to ManHawkPig, but decided to keep it short instead, so now I am ManHawk!

So thanks for the welcome everyone,  but really I guess I should be saying it's great be back in a new form.

Maybe there is a way @Drew4UTk can merge all of your posts to the new moniker. I don't know.

Or if @Drew4UTk can just change the old username LittlePig to ManHawk, that could work too I guess.  Otherwise I will just start over fresh.

Pretty sure you can change your own username. I did. If not, Drew absolutely can.

Interesting that you rebranded to ManHawk.

I have used the moniker ManHawk playing fantasy sports elsewhere on the internet. I live in Manchester. The local high school team was known as the "ManHawks" when I was a kid growing up. I did not grow up here.

The local high school was Manchester HS, but after consolidation in 1960, the high school was rebranded as West Delaware, and the term Hawks has been in use since 1960, but the newspapers continued using the nickname "ManHawks" possibly into the 1970s. I suspect it was after the proliferation of girls sports, that the ManHawks name was phased out completely, prior to my arrival here in 1991.

That's so wild.  I had no idea there was a high school with the ManHawks team name. 

My inspiration actually came from an old cartoon character.  I was considering a username like HawkPig,  and I remembered an old cartoon character called ManBearPig.    So I thought why not ManHawkPig for a new username?  But by the time I finally created the new name,  I had already decided to shorten it to just ManHawk.

What is wild is I do not view SouthPark and have no idea about what is involved other than recent political jabs, which we all should allow for as we did when Johnny Carson was our night show. Humor has its place.

hey, Gronowski had more completions to WRs (4) than to TEs (3) or RB (2)

"Iowa offense run,run,pass,punt.Fans in the crowd wearing shirts with "I root for the Punter" it's great to show up and wave to the sick kids but they shouldn't have to watch that offense. But nothing else moves the needle there."

Ferentz had to have someone's party pictures to keep getting that money.I can see getting contracts but they made him higher than Jim Tressel/Lloyd Carr and Paterno/Alverez also. But he is consistent and seems to play the Blue Bloods close
