This game is going how we want, but we must admit that KOK has called a quality game today.

Give me a freakin' break! We have torch and pitchfork carrying mobs spouting off on every message board and talk radio show in the nation and you're trying to blame the death threats on someone else? Get a grip. It's the holier than thou mob that is responsible for the death threats...and...

Kirk's entire philosophy toward using redshirts has been incredibly stupid in recent years.

Yup. It's unfortunate that Jewel Hampton couldn't stay away from drugs while at the University of Iowa. Oh, well. It's long past time to move on.

I'm fully prepared to take our chances moving on from the Ferentz era, even if that means there's a chance of moving backward. Unfortunately, no NFL GM in his right mind is going to offer him a job.

Is there an update on his condition anywhere?

I think it's hilarious that this story died the way it did. But its definitely a stunning defeat for members of the media who think that how coaches/athletes interact with the media is news. Sorry, media, but you're not the news. You just report the news.

Yeah, because the U of I is always so forthcoming in their press releases. I'd be more than happy to let Jon Miller tell us if Hampton left on his own.

Fair point. That being said, Wegher is not in the same league as Coker.

Iowa doesn't necessarily need a big name coach. They need a coach that understands recruiting at the high-major level. We have now hired three coaches in a row from the mid-major ranks. How about trying a high-major assistant for once?

Do you really think Hampton left the Iowa program on his own terms? It is a fact that he did not.

The thought of Coker being behind Wegher on the depth chart is laughable.

The chances of someone being successful without a college degree are significantly less than with a college degree. This is not even a disputable point.

Is there anything more weak and pathetic than a message board poster demanding a thread be removed or someone be banned? Come on, brother. That's major weak. Stop being such a wuss. As for this thread, I wouldn't be so sure it will be removed. I seem to remember Jon complaining about a...

Jewell is...for now (he's still early in his second and last chance). Adam is not.

The weed smokers are always so very, very sensitive. I'll try to handle you with Gen X kid gloves... Mr. Legalize It, you are right that someone isn't doomed just because they smoke a little weed. Of course the term "a little weed", doesn't apply to Hampton but that's beside the point. The...

I wasn't talking about your parenting. I was talking about your lack of parenting. Yeah, Hampton wasn't kicked off the team. ;) He left the team in the same way that many troubled CEO's "pursue other career opportunities" after being given the choice of 1) quitting or 2) being fired.

and have been kicked off their team, dropped out of school, been in trouble with the law, etc. I really hope you're not a parent. No discipline in that household, just a lot of excuse making when Junior screws up yet again. Let me guess, you must be a Gen X parent?

No, their future isn't pre-determined. They have the opportunity to turn things around. But the path they have been on of late isn't encouraging. Leaving a football team wouldn't be my concern with these three. My concern would be the drug use in the cases of Hamption and Robinson, the...

While important and in need of being addressed, the root causes are irrelevent to this discussion. We message board posters aren't in the business of writing policy prescriptions for societal ills. We, instead, are here to discuss the unfortunate path that three former Hawkeye football...
