It's such a damned joke. My guess is that the state commission has something akin to subpoena power of any entity operating in Iowa and has the data they need within days. The time this shit is taking is infuriating. The guys have due process rights in terms of suspensions or discipline, but the...

For now. Who knows what football looks like in 2 decades?

Well, that depends on whether the Iowa Supreme Court justice who taught my legal ethics class has retired yet. I'll need to dig out my transcripts. When someone says "Mr. OK4P, I'm recording your name and if I ever see you apply for admission to the bar I am going to deny your application" you...

Oh, I totally agree. I moved to the deep south 5 years ago and live in a place that's basically a clone of Neck Moines but in the foothills of the mountains. Clemson is 45 minutes up the road. Living here made me surrender any and all expectations for Iowa sports. Not only is Iowa way behind the...

Not sure, but I would like to see James Ferentz on the payroll.

You should apply and then sue the school when they hire her and claim the process wasn't really open.

If the past few searches the U conducted mean anything she was hired for the job a few weeks ago and the "search" will be completely perfunctory.

Coaching in the XFL is probably a dream for a guy like Stoops. Absolutely no pressure to win, no fans calling you out over a play call in a grocery store 9 months after the fact, short schedule, he probably got some equity, it's perfect for a semi-retired dude like him.

No, it can't be. You're lying. What in the hell are the kids supposed to eat after drinking? Did the city council approve this?

Terrible idea. That mall houses one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure in Iowa City, no, in the entire State of Iowa. That Taco Bell that is open super late. If that Taco Bell is displaced all hell will break loose.

After five years in the south I am extremely satisfied with the Iowa football program on a national level. With the evolution of the game to essentially a track meet on the outside and the task of finding the most outlier freak pass rushers, I believe that Iowa is doing as well as anyone could...

Ken would never take that job.

In his defense, being AD at a school like Iowa or South Carolina or NC State or Arizona State is just a terrible fvcking job. You have someone in state sucking some of the air out of the room, you get measured against them, you get measured against the conference which is damned near completely...

Let me be the first to go on the record and say I am not happy with the new hire.

The entire revenue model in college football changed during his tenure due to Jim Delany's TV prowess and the seismic shift in the way season tickets are now sold at every legit P5 school whereby a "donation" is a prerequisite to obtaining seats. The donation side exploded beginning with the...

Former HawkeyeNation superposter HappyChef was at the Iowa game yesterday and credits himself for the rally.

Agreed, and Wichitall is the west suburbs of KC.

Damn it. No man did more to build the Iowa legacy when Kurt took over and dismantle the solid run we had going than Philbin. Philbin put together that ridiculous O-line we had back in ought two. Unreal. I really appreciated that and liked Philbin a lot. Then, he got hired to be the head coach...

The absolute and unwavering purity test. "You're either for this war or you're for the terrorists." Uncle Sugar had the consent of the population to do anything in Afghanistan immediately after 9/11. People were understandably pissed off and scared. But things had cooled off and then out of...

Noam Chomsky wrote a fantastic book on this in the '80's called "Manufacturing Consent" where he outlined a series of filters through which reporting travels and demonstrated how even in the absence of a government edict "free market" media tends to create one helluva shield. It's easy for us as...
