    Iowa Football Investigation Discussion

    JK retweeted some video/picture, captioned "theres no crying in football. These guys are babies". It may have been in jest, but idk. JK has since made his tweets protected (which isn't a terrible idea to begin with, as mine are as well). Could be a response to Drake/Iowa fan backlash, could be...

    Iowa Football Investigation Discussion

    I had the same argument with him a while back, and even provided evidence that KF not only didn't cover it up, but that the player was suspended immediately (and later kicked off the team) and the athletic department and the university followed the rules and methods of investigating pretty much...

    Iowa Football Investigation Discussion

    Context and perspective are dead in today's world. Emotional hyperbole reigns supreme.

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    Our county has the policy of shutting down for 2 weeks for ANY positive tests. Our baseball season is essentially over because of 1 test. Our superintendent doesn't know how we can reasonably have school if those are the parameters, and online schooling is tough for us because we're a very...

    I have that shirt and a matching koozie. Whether it still fits is another question...

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    That's not... terrible I guess. 5 new cases after being back for 3 weeks, with a majority of cases likely having been caught before getting to school. My HS just had to shut baseball down for the year. Our superintendent has to take advisory from 2 different county health boards. I do not envy...

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    Players are supporting each other and their stories. That doesn't always equate to damning the coaches. A common denominator between many of the players is that they believe KF is at worst naive but capable of fighting the ship. Many things lead me to believe the coaches have been trying to do...

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    This is why I take issue with the way things are going. It's modern-day Mccarthyism, where a mere allegation is often enough to ruin someone. If the coaches (or players that support them), they're labeled by many as racist or ignoring it. If they don't comment, things are allowed to snowball...

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    No, I don't think it's racism. The only thing Akrum claims that would even partially fit it would be the mask comments, which could easily be misconstrued. Hanlon's Razor is never attributing to malice what could easily be attributed to ignorance. I'd say it's a perfect example here and in many...

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    If the NFL is willing to draft a guy in the first round while analysts play a video of him beating the living shit out of a woman, I think someone can survive not getting a glowing review from Kirk Ferentz. The "blackball" stuff is complete horseshit. And comparing racial insensitivity to...

    4-Star RB Ricky Parks Announcing Today

    I'd say it's a very fair comparison, although I'd give Utah an ever so slight recruiting edge just due to being close to California and having exposure to players there from being in the Pac-12. Plus it seems like they just rake in talented players of Samoan heritage.

    Nine More Positive COVID-19 Tests in Iowa Athletic Department

    The CDC estimates that actual active cases could be as high as 10x the confirmed number, or around 25 million.

    If attendance limited which 2 games would you most want to attend?

    Marcel Joly

    Pretty interesting how many of the departures that were recruited during the GD era were guys that were labelled as WR/RB/ATH. We had that short stint where we went after smaller, quicker skill players (and if we're being honest, reached for a decent amount of them), compared to the longer...
