Does ISU have a few mega donors that Iowa doesn't? What's the background there? What's ISU's football payroll compared to Iowa's?

And regardless if Campbell is interested or not, my point was I'm at least calling him if I'm Goetz.

Does Iowa State have a bigger donor base than Iowa? I'm uneducated on that.

How come? Ohio guy. Instead of playing UCF and TCU and Kansas, he'd get a chance to play Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan. And he's well aware of the resources of the Big Ten and at Iowa specifically. He might look at it as a shot to coach there for 20 years with one AD. And with a fan base...

A lot of season left to play and who knows just how long Kirk wants to keep going. But I tend to think he is nearing the end. One thing that crossed my mind. Anyone ever hear Pollard talk about his future? He's only 60, but he's the second longest tenured AD in P4. Does he want to be a...

Right. As tepid as the offense was on Saturday, there were several plays where in past years an Iowa QB would have been sacked for a major loss (absolute drive killer for them), and Gronowski was able to avoid the loss and at times even turn it into positive yards. HUGE difference.

He often had time to read a book back there. I wonder what Petras might have looked like with that kind of protection.

It's amazing to think what might have been had he stuck around Iowa City. Everyone talks about what Davis did with Raveling's recruits, but what would George have done with his recruits? The big three were primed to take a big jump for their sophomore years. No doubt Davis gets credit for 86-87...

Or maybe Tom Davis could have been an assistant coach for Raveling, teaching the press. It's crazy to me that George Raveling coached Washington State starting in 1972, and lasted for 11 years in Pullman. Honest to god, he must have been one of about seven black people in town. I'd love to...

I'll take his running, without a doubt. One of the disturbing elements, though, is contrast Gronowski's performance with Shaggy when he was forced into action last fall. The circumstances could not have been worse for him, and he put up anemic numbers too, but man, he LOOKED like a quarterback...

Won't Kirk break a record whether the Hawks win or lose Saturday? Lose and he breaks his own record as Big Ten's all-time losingest coach? (Just sayin'.)

Freeman might want to think hard about redshirting. I don't know how all the details work in these financial agreements, but I'd assume he gets most of his money even if he has to sit out the year due to a lingering injury. Frees himself up to get paid for a 5th year...and he is the exact kind...

Gulp

Yeah, that's why I didn't mention his consultant gig. I don't think it is necessarily worse than a coach, but it is chance for a recently fired coach to catch his breathe and evaluate what he wants to do next. Sort of jumping on the treadmill for a year, stay involved with the game, evaluating...

It's really a pretty incredible fall given that there were no legal, moral or NCAA issues involved. Before his 30th birthday, he was coaching arguably the greatest tight end tandem in NFL history, for perhaps the greatest football coach in history, in the Super Bowl. And before long, was the...
