(You may begin your eye-rolling now.) I'm friendly with a guy who has been involved with the team on a daily basis through all of Hayden's years and the first half of the Ferentz era. He has remained involved but to a lesser extent for the last 5-6 years. He swears up and down Rudock is the best...

I'll make a deal with James. If Iowa beats Nebraska on Friday, I will promise to buy him a steak dinner and all the drinks he wants anytime I see him in Iowa City. All of the other games will be forgiven.

The guy who put it on the news was completely ridiculous. Any number of competent journalists could have taken his reaction and put the focus on the disappointing season or the increased tension in the football office. Hell, he could have talked about "Fort Kinnick." Instead you get some tool...

Ferentz has a right to be ticked off about a left-field question that has nothing at all to do with his coaching or production on the field. It was a poorly asked/worded question. I was ready to lynch Ferentz for it (frankly my patience is dwindling for him) but his reaction seemed reasonable...

I've actually seen both of them around recruits (admittedly just for a few minutes) and I'll agree they are energetic guys who seem to be able to get that part done. He needs a few more years to show us what he has but I don't get the love-fest for him either. He also needs to stop with his...

I realize that. But so many people are calling for him to take over and yet he doesn't have his line prepared for injury? Next Man In only works if you actually have decent "next men."

The Mr. Olympia and guy with his head up the horse's (or cow's?) butt should win something.

I wish Brian F would shut up with his #bulliesofthebigten crap. We aren't. We haven't been for awhile. Either fix it or stop talking about it.

Thank goodness he actually sounds like he has a damn pulse. I think I like pi$$ed off Ferentz much better than gum-chewing Ferentz. I can't figure out why everyone is so high on Brian. His O line really suffered in the last few weeks.

Well, the Cubs might win the World Series. After that, I got nothin.

^His wife makes no bones about her feelings for them (related to football) either.

I hate to admit this but I've heard the same thing about Erb. I've met him a handful of times and he strikes me as an incredibly nice guy but I've heard from a past WR of his that he didn't relate well to players.

I actually laughed out loud at that. It's time Ferentz's grunts get their own quotes. Well done Jon.

He looks haggard midway through every season. He gets those bags under his eyes by week seven. It would be shocking if he walked away.

I've been a big Ferentz fan for a lot of years. He seems like a stand up guy and he seems to do things the right way. The last two games have pushed me the farthest I've ever been into the "fire him camp." Maybe he'll right the ship but I have less faith that he can do it.

Maybe we can all chip in and buy Davis, KMM and CJF bear costumes to wear on the field. Talked to a guy today who saw Rudock play ball in high school and has some pretty heavy first hand knowledge of Hawkeye football. I mentioned that the fan base is wondering if the drop off between JV and JR...

You're kidding, right?

In the summer, a lot of folks on Melrose put up signs about football parking. Keep an eye out.

I heard from Morris' family member that he was planning to play special teams this fall.

That gave me chills too until I reread it. I think Coach P was trying to say Sash and GW will be better than they were last year...not better than Bob and Sean. I'd love to be wrong though!
