I assuming you're serious. They shut down the high speed elevators the last two minutes of the first half from the boxes to ground level.
I'm speculating they do this to get staff and film down to the locker room. When I first noticed it was when we'd take a time out at the end of the half, and still run the clock out. Why the timeout?
I did say speculating, but it seems plausible to me.

It does...at one time the staff was one of the best of the best at half time adjustments, so it seems plausible they’d hedge this way…even at the risk of sacrificing scoring at the end of the first half. Obviously the end of game is a different story, but clearly they have had games were it went well.
Yeah I was at the polk county I club dinner when lickliter was introduced to a 2 minutes standing ovation. He is a really good coach who couldnt do it at Iowa.
Now I just hope Davis can bring about 10 more points a game to the hawks offense.

They shut the elevator down because they don't want some 300 pound lumpenprole jamming the thing up and because they need the ground floor lobby completely cleared out when the Iowa and visiting coaches come through. I was sitting in the club seats for a game and had to make the trip downstairs to hand HappyChef some funds I owed him and we had an agreement to meet precisely at halftime so he could crush 3 beers in the KC lot during halftime. The Iowa coaches had one elevator and the opposing coaches had the other elevator and those dudes sprinted like hell the second they got off of them. I did not, however, see anyone carrying a giant spool of film, I would hope that digital video has made its way to Iowa by now and I would hope they have plenty of shots from the cameras perched high above the end zones as well as from the press box when they make adjustments.
If you have 1st and 10 from your own 20 with 1:30 to play, you could stretch that out to over 5 minutes with a few first downs, out of bounds plays and intentional spikes to stop the clock. The opposing defense will usually play back and give you at least 2 first downs if you really want them. Wouldn't you rather have 5 minutes instead of 90 seconds to get the film to the locker room?
sigh......and yet KF has Iowa on their best run in program history. Pretty cool weve got that all done with a coach who doesn't know what he was doing. But what the hey, people in Baton Rougue think Les Miles is an idiot too....
les miles is an idiot when it comes to clock management. it is a tough call who is worse between him and kirk. they are still good coaches but they both have shown on numerous occasions that they struggle bad when it comes to clock management
LOL. Slowly raises hand.......

Interesting attitude, considering your avatar.
This is some pretty wild and ridiculous speculation. Video processing is pretty quick these days. Why would they do a multi-million dollar renovation of Kinnick and stick the video crew in a logistically stupid location way up in the pressbox and far from the lockers? What benefit would having video equipment in the pressbox make? Wouldn't it be smarter to have it right by the locker rooms and interview rooms? The press box elevators are reserved before half-time for coaching personnel to get to the locker room and that's it.
Maybe Ferentz likes to annoy the opposition and hates wasting timeouts. If memory serves me correctly, he did this during the Michigan St. rout 2 years ago and it really seemed solely to rub it in a bit. Ferentz would probably fire the entire video crew if their operations had a negative impact on the on-field gameplan and management.

Ten is probably too much to ask for, but even an extra three would've helped out quite a few times. Davis will not be working with the same caliber of skill players that he's been used to, but will likely have better line play, so it's going to be interesting to see how it all works out.

Im not sure what your reply has to do with what I said?
A coach made the same observation as the fans who pointed out what they believed to be schematic deficiencys. Just making an observation.

Was at that game and screamed my head off when the TD was called back. In hindsight, didn't Chandler and Kurt both say it was the correct call? And I'm pretty sure your namesake's offense got flagged for that exact same infraction three or four times after that game.

Yes, and it was the right call.
