That was a year and a half I would love to experience again. I had my suspicions the way 2008 ended and they were confirmed when the Hawks took the lead against PSU @ Happy Valley in 2009. It was a great ride!

Almost lost the bowl of cereal I just ate for breakfast.

I think you nailed it. We will never know what really went on inside his head but we can speculate. Could be that he feared loosing the starting job so much it affected his play. The combo of the total no risk offensive philosophy plus the fear of loosing the starting position probably made him...

Choosing the "hot hand" in game has been a glaring weakness during the Ferentz era at Iowa. It has been most noticeable with the running backs but it has been there at all positions. The fizzy post here is accurate in my recollection of those events. The lack of experience in Stanzi's case...

That sounds about right. I like Grand Junction. Spend the night there about once a year or so. I have property out in Arizona and on some trips we drive out there. Grand Junction is a good day's drive from Prescott.

WFO baby! If you go by the city limits then it is 60K. I think GJHawk may be referring to the greater Grand Junction Metropolitan area as a whole. That would be like referring to the Iowa City metropolitan area which includes Coralville and North Liberty. The suburbs out there are just lines...

GJhawk - Hmm, how about Grand Junction? I believe he said that in thread about travel to the Rose Bowl a couple years ago. Got to agree on the number there, 590 would be about right for a town w/ 12.5K, - OR - town of 1250 would have a class of about 59. Thinking the number of zeros in one of...

300, went to high school 10 miles away. 41 in my class. Currently I am in a bedroom community near Iowa City. Have lived and worked in cities up to 1.5 million w/ the 60K size being the rule.

You want something like this?

If he did "retire" after assessing the Iowa AD situation because he wants the job then it shows remarkable strategic thinking along w/ motivation and drive. How could the U say no?

It has been my fantasy for a couple years now. What is really cool is that it isn't totally out there. Because of the magnitude of this news I think I am going to have to call in a favor down in Norman.

7 months is the combined jail time for Curley, Schultz and Spanier's involvement in the Jerry Sandusky abuse scandal cover-up. There is some house arrest time and a token fine thrown on top for good measure. The Daily Mail Story sums up the sordid tale pretty concisely.

Sounds like a mini version of the scam Jen Whitmore ran at the UIHC for several years around 2010 . I read the state auditor's report on that incident: state auditor's report $272,000 and she got 3 months probation....

Will Iowa actually run 38-43 running plays a game? How many passing plays? 25-30? In a well balanced running scheme AW would see around 25 carries. #2, whoever that will be, would be getting around 12 carries and the rest would get, in aggregate, get about 6. If the passing game doesn't...

The only way Bowlsby comes back is as Roberta...

I can shed some light on this - they updated the computers used on the jumbotron and digital signage - how do I know? I bought two of the old ones @ UI surplus. The boxes I purchased were AOpen digital engines from circa 2007. They still had athletic department tags on them.

Not saying they will hire Jane. Probably the last person they would hire. Just saying odds are probably in favor of Iowa's next AD being a female.

Not saying she would get her job back, she has been "paid off" but she is "dirty" in this scenario. Iowa has now set the stage for retribution - what better way to prove it is gender neutral than to install a female AD? Think about it, they can now cite Meyer vs The University of Iowa as a...

Should ask if they need to use w/ a phone and therefore require an inline mic. If you are talking audio only then I can recommend Skull Candy Ink'd series. Super efficient and wide bandwidth. I use third party foam earpieces with those. Can mow my lawn w/ player volume @ about 30% and not hear...

And the narrative I've seen in a few pieces on it has used adjectives like "historic" and "groundbreaking". Of course there could be another motivation and that is bye-bye Gary and hello "Madam Athletic Director"...
