Every four years a secret lab somewhere in a Des Moines-area cornfield spits out a mysterious Caucasian child who eats nothing but lightning bolts and runs like a cheetah over brief distances. When the child turns 17 he signs a letter of intent with Iowa and becomes their next Inexplicably Great White Wide Reciever (IGWWR). Ladies and gentlemen, Andy Brodell:
I remember that first clip, when Brodell took what looked like a simple first down, juked a Longhorn out of his shorts, then ran past that hyped secondary. In that instant I knew: like the Dalai Lama, the Iowa IGWWR's soul passes down from one player to another ever few years. He is reborn. Brodell's coming out party sets the stage for another era of inexplicable punt returns, screens taken for touchdowns, and other shenanigans. Thankfully, I don't have to put up with it for a bit: Iowa is off Michigan's schedule for the next two years.
