I think some of you guys are completely nuts and should have your keyboards confiscated. Iggy had maybe one bad year. The rest of his time here he kept the Dome full (of #12 jerseys no less).


I believe you did not watch the team sputtering almost appearing rudderless the last year he was here. I think you are right to point out he was not the only one to be blamed but as captain it is your responsibility to help the team in what ever way you could to at least have an appearance of work ethic that was noticeably missing from the team, during the last couple of years he was here. Amazingly after he was gone the work ethic magically reappeared. I am sorry but that should be enough proof something was a miss. Maybe the captains c should have been at least taken away but then his legacy would have been forever tainted.
