Could say a lot, but will keep it short and sweet. The 'journalism' in this state has been pathetic with this.
 
Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information that confirms or support one's prior personal beliefs or values. It is an important type of cognitive bias that has a significant effect on the proper functioning of society by distorting evidence-based decision-making.

You think you’re not guilty of confirmation bias? Many of the Iowa State posters on this site would believe anything anyone said about the Iowa football program right now, as long as it painted them in a negative light. Seriously...there were people on here talking about how damning and revelatory it was that Wadley’s mom revealed that Ferentz hates mixed couples. All it would have taken was five seconds to stop and think how ridiculous and obviously made up that claim is, but many here bought it hook, line and sinker.
 
If the Fales, Downs, Iowa beat writers, etc. want to call it good after this press conference so be it. But miss me with any faux outrage over any other matter like this going forward with other schools. If this were any other school they'd be all over it, and I guarantee that.

If you don't think this is a big deal, fine. But quit acting like you are sympathetic to the underlying issues, because you clearly aren't.

Scott Siepker even acknowledged that if this was at Clemson or Alabama they would be viewing this completely different. Then proceeded to say that they know Kirk and that he can fix this.

WTF!?!?
 
Wow after listening to Murph/Andy/Iowa Dork’s reaction I’d have thought this press conference was right up there in terms of meaningfulness as “I Have a Dream” and “Tear Down This Wall”.

How?? He doesn't even know what is wrong, because he even said he hasn't listened to the accusations.
 
So let me make sure I didn't miss anything. The ONLY mistake he actually acknowledged was how he handled the Twitter ban. And that was for the players protection.

He actually took full responsibility for the entire situation, and said that as head coach everything falls back onto him. Are there actually people on this website who are saying he refused to admit he made a mistake? Because that would be a pretty stupid conclusion to draw from that presser.
 
I am filling in for Roberts on Saturday Morning Pregame tomorrow from 8-10. Probably good that I have time to digest this but I have thoughts.

They'll try to paint you as a Cyclone shill. When actually the worst thing that could happen to Iowa is let them get their way by continuing to employ a racist staff.

but yet he wouldn’t apologize to any former players?
And he says he hasn’t read any accusations but 1 article? GTFO

When you admit you make a mistake, you generally apologize to those you wronged. Kirk said he had no reason to apologize.

Iowa fans, university & athletic department administration, and most local media are all going to either say nothing happened or that it was in the past and has been fixed. So ultimately nothing will change other than Kirk telling his staff to be careful not to be blatant racists and some lip service to racial equality. Other than that some negative recruiting against them on the topic and that'll be it. Doyle will be back by the kickoff of the season.

I love how you always use words like moron, stupid, idiot.

Do you have children? This is the equivalent of when you make one kid apologize to the other, and they walk over, stand 5 feet away, whisper sorry, and run away.
