Speaking to the Des Moines Register, Bo Porter addressed what we could be seeing with the Astros in 2013, and used throwback former Iowa football coach Hayden Fry as an example:
"You can't be afraid to make changes. You can't be afraid to be different. People said (football) coach (Hayden) Fry was crazy with the tight end, when they couldn't get the tight end involved in the offense and get him down the line...Coach Fry said, 'We're going to stand him up.'...Now, how many times do you see the tight end come across the formation and stand up in the NFL?"
This better mean that we get to see a Rover at some point in 2013...
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
