Your school's all-time team - past 30 years

That'd be a good team.

Weisman worked out at the gym I used to go to, before it got locked down for Covid. 

Good guy.

Cool, Weisman was always one of my favorite players.  He started out at FB and got converted to Halfback due to injuries to Iowa's other RB's.  Then ended up starting at HB for 3 years.

When Weisman was healthy he could actually show some surprising speed bursting through a hole,  and was pretty dependable at always picking up that extra yard needed for that first down.  He must have incredible strength I am guessing even still today when he works out at the gym.  Too bad he  always got worn down by the end of season but he legit was Iowa's best option at RB at that time. 

His final stats were not too shabby either.  2602 yards total, 4.3 ypc.  32 TD's

Definitely a beast in the gym, and did not skip leg days.

airbhg liked him cause he wasn't really a rb, but a fb in disguise.

It's amazing to think about. The Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God (AIRBHG) cursed many a RB over the years.

Just leading up to the game when Weisman finally took over as starter in early 2012,  the previous starters and back-ups from 2010-2012 left because

One guy got his girlfriend pregnant and dropped out as a sophomore.
One guy got a career ending ACL injury as a sophomore
One guy failed a drug test and had academic problems and transferred as a sophomore
One guy got accused of rape, the girl ended up dropping the charges, but his career at Iowa was still over, and he transferred out as a sophomore.
Another guy had frequent injuries but finally made it back to starting in 2015
Another guy had academic problems and transferred after his freshman year.

This would be a fruitful exercise of program strength/depth through the eras to do a 5th-team all-time team.
It would be a big job, actually mapping out your top 4 teams of all-time first, then who is next one up? 
.
I think the QB quality across programs would vary wildly.  Some school's 5th-best were all-american caliber guys and other's were Joe Schmoe. 
.
Plus, they wouldn't all be super-teams.  That's a prediction, but I think we'd be surprised how weak the 5th-best-DE pair-ever winds up being for some programs.

This is kinda why I'm listing honorable mentions. Probably gonna stop at third team.
