    EIU Athletic Deparment Story of ESPNW

    Oh, no, KF doesn't much at games at players. He doesn't really do a lot of hands on coaching during games. Some quotes: Eubanks - "Coach Ferentz's biggest outbursts were always directed toward the offensive line. I remember a bad practice I was having where he likened my blocking to an "old man...

    I guess if you ever attended games or seen any practices you would have.

    EIU Athletic Deparment Story of ESPNW

    However, females and males are different. Males are not going to complain about feeling threatened or that they are being verbally abused because they are men are supposed to take it. In our culture, men are supposed to be tough. If Tom Brands took over a female sport, they would probably all go...

    No he hasn't what? Mishandled things? Yes he has and most UI fans would agree with that.

    EIU Athletic Deparment Story of ESPNW

    I am not saying that some of the coaches didn't need to go, but that doesn't mean there weren't bias against them. I think the point that is being made on some of this is that Barta allows the coaches of the men's sports to be "verbally abusive" and they don't have the same consequences. We have...

    EIU Athletic Deparment Story of ESPNW

    Iowa is violating open records laws....again. As for Beth Beglin, she may be biased, but unfortunately for Barta, she is waging a campaign and getting help from others and they are making noise with Sally and the BOR. One of the telling things is Faye Thompson, long-time trainer, resigned...

    Why would you not care if ISU had no success in anything else? I see Beth Beglin is on a rampage. DMR is accusing Iowa of open records violations, which is BAU for UI. This could end up being Barta's updoing. It would not make sad.

    EIU Athletic Deparment Story of ESPNW

    For years? Not really. Once women's sports became part of the NCAA, Christine Grant built the women's programs up. Women kind of peaked about the same time as the men. Then Bump retired, then Christine. UI decided to combine the departments. Big, big, big mistake. Having a separate AD was one of...

    Derrick Willies leaving Iowa

    CJ also committed the Cardinal Sin of not keeping it behind closed doors and also revealed he had not been practicing with the 1s.

    AJ Derby

    He was not in good standing when he left, as KF would say. Punched out a bus window while intoxicated. Dropped down the rung at QB, then they wanted him to switch to LB.

    Proposal

    Not true. But it is mostly 100, fka JWR, stirring the point as usual. Fewer ISU threads because they turned the rivalry board into a paying board. 100/JWR normally would have 4-5 new ISU threads a day.

    Iowa vs Pitt

    A few times? Sadly, it's been more than that! Oh wait, sorry fans don't attend practices. It is the practices that count, not actual game day production. My bad.

    Iowa vs Pitt

    Of course. BAU. The only reason we won is because Roduck got injured. CJB wouldn't have seen the light of day otherwise. The chances that KF gives JR another shot are pretty high. JR manages the offense the way KF wants it managed, low risk. CJB presents an issue, sort of Rebelish like Stanzi...

    "Ferentz teams always get better through the season"

    Heck of a lot closer than Norman.

    "Ferentz teams always get better through the season"

    The reality is the programs at Iowa and ISU aren't too far apart. ISU doesn't seem to have depth most years and can't quite get over the hump. The schedule does not favor Rhoads trying to turn it around.

    "Ferentz teams always get better through the season"

    Well not really. That is why we have to keep Kirk. The ol' 'it could be worse, remember FXL and Bob Commings" mantra. I also contend it could be better. Ha.

    "Ferentz teams always get better through the season"

    No, the financial situation was vastly different when Commings was brought in. The facilities were not good. There was not much put into football before Hayden. Then it was decided to put a lot of money into football - upgrade Kinnick, the bubble, etc.

    Why can Iowa fans say they're bad, yet deny is Big Ten horrible

    You all should join the B1G. Be a heck of a lot more entertaining to have ISU in the B1G than Maryland and Rutgers, and sure makes a lot more sense from a fan perspective since the B1G was supposedly a midwestern conference. But I know, college athletics is all about the money and TV revenues...

    Hawks obsession with seeing Rhoads fired

    See post above. The eye test works well for me. I really don't give a rat's azz what happens in practice. Some kids are better game day players, and when they get in the game and do better than the starter, then maybe the coaches should be evaluating that.

    Hawks obsession with seeing Rhoads fired

    You probably have seen it a billion times since Ferentz was hired. KOK saved Ferentz's hide during one of his tenures on the heat seat. He fought and fought to get Stanzi in at QB and Ferentz finally relented over the howling of Jeff Christensen. Then there were some WR debacles and need we...
