No takers?

Hasn't the program been on the brink for about 2 years? When is it going to get off of the brink? Come to think of it, what is a "brink"? definition: 1. a. The upper edge of a steep or vertical slope: the brink of a cliff.

Iowa's defense played basically 28 minutes of the 2nd half very well. Then they went with prevent-style looks. But I'm not even asking specifically about today our how typically Iowa uses it. Just in general, why do teams use it? I understand it's not give up the big play but it still allows...

I'm still an apologist to people calling Ferentz a jerk or a fat-cat. He's a class-act when it comes to representing himself. However, that doesn't (shouldn't) provide job-security when it comes to football on the D1 level. It all comes down to winning. It's a cut-throat business. I compare...

No. He was 4 - 19 coming into this game and CMU fans were growing restless with him.

Iowa is Indiana-bad right now. That's simply the reality.

I feel really bad him too but I also feel for Meyer. Sets record for most consecutive PATs today and makes what could've been an impressive game-winning FG into the wind.

I've always thought he's a classy man and a good representative of the university. But this is big-time college football. being nice shouldn't provide job security. winning does.

+1 Nice and classy man. good representative of the university but this is D1 college football. The only thing that (should) provide job security is winning.

This. Doubt anything will change. A lot of money the university will have to shell out

Was that the first time AIRBHG was acknowledged by a B10 network announcer?

I'm thinking two one-point wins over the MAC this year :(

Good article by awful announcing explaining today's development between dish and btw: Dish Network And Big Ten Network Are On A Break, But Haven't Broken Up

Ohio State is going to dominate this conference for years to come.

Fair enough. I just don't see how Ferentz's lack of emotion loses games. As mentioned by another poster in the the thread, you can blame the loss on a combination of youth, lack of execution, play-calling, etc. However, you can't blame the loss on lack of motivation. The guys played hard...

Good god the B1G is just awful this year. Nebraska's "black shirt" defense just gave up 653 yards in a loss at UCLA. Michigan proving they were way overrated this preseason. Wisconsin laid an egg, Illinois is getting beat by Arizona State. At least Northwestern was able to beat the mighty...

Personally, I prefer to have a head coach with a calm demeanor on the sidelines. I'd much rather have someone with Kirk's demeanor than somebody like Mike Stoops or Bo Pelini.

+1 It's the knee-jerk reaction. Iowa wins a few games and Ferentz is a genius. Iowa loses a few and fans call for his job. The world keeps spinning.

I completely agree. People never seem to realize the NBA is more spread out with the extended 3 pt line, NBA players are bigger, stronger, and faster, NBA games are 48 minutes with 11 less seconds in shot clock which equals way more possessions than in college which obviously equals way more...
