I'm not aligned with a party. I simply made a statement because that quote from Washington caught me as spectacularly hypocritical. Its kinda like the abortion pro choice people being pissed about illegal immigrant families being split up at the border. Its perfectly okay to remove a living...

Thank you for the link. Best player in the history of the program.

What do you think happens if Barta fires Brian after the investigation is over? Or tells Kirk that Brian has to go? I'm not sure who officially controls Brian's job.

Doyle is toxic. That review would have to find that the black players completely fabricated those stories for Doyle to get a P5 or NFL job.

Also it could be years before this is all over. Every day someone else comes out of the woodwork with another story.

Yeah this still the dark cloud over the program. Doyle can't stay and seems so delusional right that that he may even actually believe he's done nothing wrong. It could take a ton of money to get him to go quietly. And who knows with Brian? Seems like a typical hot head, entitled, rich suburb...

This is a fantastic quote from someone who owned slaves.

Rob should be ashamed for posting facts?

No its not selfish. I wish sports were just sports. That is why I watch. But we as fans are at fault here. We have put them on a pedestal. So many of us will only listen if they speak or act.

How about Eminem's Till I Collapse It connects with a lot of demographics: White, middle-aged artist, singing a rap song that has a line in it about killing cops which will connect with the young generation.

For those looking at reliving some good memories there are some cool BB & FB games on BTN on Friday. 2017 Ohio St FB, 1985 Michigan, 1985 Elite Doc; all mainstays for Iowa classics on BTN. But its these that are more interesting to me: 1983 Indiana BB 2001 Indiana BB (B1G championship game)...

Not only is it an opportunity for the football program, university, and Kirk as its leader but there is also an opportunity for the state of Iowa and its people to embrace the leader role in change that is needed across the country. As you said, the bullets are flying and anyone leading the...

I have no doubt other coaches will use this against Iowa so I understand your point about moving forward without him might be best. On the flip side, Iowa currently has 4/10 assistant coaches that are black. Assuming Doyle is let go, his replacement may also be black if KF promotes his top...

I agree with #1 completely. Toxic is the best word to describe Doyle at this point. Unless this is the biggest, cruelest, well timed conspiracy in modern sports, with confirmed testimony from hundreds of former black players that its all lies, and admission of that from the players calling him...

You gotta do what you gotta do but this board needs more rational posters, not less. Maybe just take a break while all this shit gets settled and check back in. I have a feeling Kirk will respond the DJK story specifically at some point. And I believe Rob will publish that response.

Wow. Would love to have seen him be asked about this in the interview. I'm guessing him not being included in the reunion of the 2009 team sent him over the falls.

He was probably like that drill sergeant type of coach (Bob Knight) that pushes guys to the limit and many guys don't like while they're there but the very mentally tough thrive under. And they come to the conclusion that his pushing them to their physical limits helped get them where they are...

There is no question teams are going to use this against Iowa. And it could hurt. I will give this to KF and Iowa though. Iowa does have a solid number of black coaches. 4 assistants, possibly 5 when Doyle gets fired. In comparison, Minnesota and Wisconsin each have 2 black coaches on the...

Rob's name is also on all of his tweets and columns/posts here. As far as I know the only poster on this board that doesn't have anonymity. Any public statement is a slippery slope right now. He's on a way different playing field than the random tweeter or message board poster that doesn't...

'I don't recall' That's probably not going to go over very well. Especially since Kirk is good for recalling about 1 bland recruiting/coaching story from the early 1980s in each of his press conferences. Yet he doesn't recall if a comment so shockingly insensitive that 100% of public...
