Well fellas, it’s been fun...but it’s time for me to tap out. After witnessing Rob’s tweets last night and this morning, it’s obvious he’s not looking for a conversation, but conformity. Not healing, but a purge. Any diversity of thought is passed off as “now that’s rich” rather than...

As I said, there’s certainly room to listen, improve, and change. You’re either growing or dying. At the same time, KF will never undertake a change that puts the individual above the team. That culture isn’t for everyone and that’s okay.

I’m seeing a lot of tweets from former black players talking about rules and culture of the iowa program not allowing them to express their individuality. Things like not allowing td celebration, exposing tattoos in the weight room, not having shoes tied properly, etc. If that’s truly the...

I guess unless or until there is more that comes out, I’m going to respectfully disagree that Iowa needs to address things publicly every time someone posts an issue on social media. As recently as late 2016, after Doyle became the sports highest paid S&C coach, Mike Daniels tweeted that he was...

I've seen only 3 former black players coming out and criticizing the program. Given the fact that KF has coached probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 250-300 black players at Iowa, I'm not going to let what a couple say sway my opinion on the man or the program.

No, I don't think so. I took it as him saying that any culture change that will happen in the Iowa Football Organization will start with Doyle because he has by far the most direct interaction with all of the athletes. KF's interaction is fairly minimal.

Perfection is unattainable, absolutely. We're a world of broken human beings. But I don't think it's too much to ask to have our police force be more accountable than they are. To treat people as human beings instead of enemies on the battlefield. To make more of an effort to be part of the...

I'm just going to put this out there and you all can make of it what you will..... In this country, we have a system of checks and balances set up. People act as though rogue cops or police in general aren't accountable to anyone. That's just flat out wrong. In this country, mayors...

Within that thread, James Daniels states that Hawkeye fans would rather go 7-5 with it's players standing than be B1G champs with them kneeling. I'm sorry, but that's bullshit, there's no other way to put it. And he knows it. It's a red herring meant to prove a point, but it's bullshit either...

Like I said, this ain’t gonna end well.

Can anyone other than the S&C staff even have any contact with them until later in the summer?

Of course they didn't exhibit symptoms because it's now a known fact (supported by CDC data) that over 80% of people that have COVID-19 are asymptomatic. Again, we're going to have to live with the virus. Ensure older/high risk individuals social distance and, if they are so inclined, wear a...

I'm sorry, but there's nothing "good" about taking an ally in the cause against racism, who has a multi year track record of outreach, financial support, and solidarity.....and publicly shaming him, threatening to boycott his sponsors, and making personal attacks against him. Like I said, are...

Exactly. Over 80% of the 600+ people at the Tyson plant that tested positive were asymptomatic. Pretty sure, unless a college kid has diabetes or some sort of compromised immune system, that they'll be fine. We have to learn to live with it because it ain't going away.

What's being done to Brees right now is just flat out bullshit....let's just call a spade a spade. Brees has done more for the black community, particularly in New Orleans, than every single person who is coming after him on Twitter and other social media outlets right now. It's flat out...

Agreed on the "a few bad cops" being bullshit. But I also think that about pretty much any gov't job. There's more than "a few bad teachers" and "a few bad <insert name of gov't job>". But as long as the public sector unions are there to protect the police, and teachers, and everyone else...

KF just freaking said he wants to have that convo. So which is it? Is he a liar or a racist? This ain't gonna end well.

Agreed. For me, I had/still have no problem with kneeling. I'm a veteran and I fought for the ability for common citizens to have the freedom to air their grievances in a peaceful way. That's what Kap did. But when it devolved into "Cops are Pigs", encouraging violence against police...

We're walking down some pretty dangerous territory where NO diversity of thought or experience is allowed. If people are looking for a fast way to completely turn off those that want to understand white privilege more or systemic racism more....that aren't the ones that have outright hatred in...

Sorry, but that won't solve a thing. Next.
