So when is Bob Bowlsby Day?

That's a funny one! But it's probably 99.5% that he's done. His dad passed away on the sidelines of a high school game at the age of 54 and that's always, at least subconsciously, been on Bobby's mind.
You already knew all of this. But it's still a funny comment.

I bet if we quintupled Barta's current salary and allowed him to worked as AD from wherever his home is he'd reconsider.
It'd be cheaper than Barta after all his extraneous costs in the long run anyway.

I think at some point he will transition into an AD role and I hope it is with Iowa. I think he would make a good AD with his experience at a big time program with a national championship, his fundraising ability, and his devotion to the University. It would be a good thing
I think he would make a great AD for a P5 program for the reasons you mention above. He's still only 58 years old and well respected. Alvarez 2.0??? If he is interested in that type of role I hope to hell we offer him before Wiscy does.

Starting in the same year, Stopps won 10 B12 championships. Ferentz won 2 co-B10 championships.
Would Stoops have won more than 2 B10's at Iowa>

I had a buddy today text me this and I replied he's going to be introduced as the new HC at halftime unknowingly to KF.

Good question. I don't know. He had a good tenure but he also had a top blue blood program where recruiting wasn't hard. As much as I've ripped KF I feel he developes kids pretty damn good with what he has to work with. Did Bob have to work at development as hard to get top play out of his recruits as KF does. I don't think results would really be that different than what we have had but we would of allowed Bob the benefit of doubt more being one of our own.

I guess I should play devil's advocate and ask would KF had any better or worse results coaching at Oki than Bob? That would be a better playing field for evaluation since we could say recruiting would of been a little better with 4 and five star kids. Of course this is assuming could KF leave traditional NFL pro style offense for spread and air raids?

The Quast brothers, Brad Quast was a really good LB. His younger brother, can't recall his name also played at Iowa but was not as good.
The Hufford brothers in the early 80's were good, Mike and Paul. They were on the 82 Rose Bowl team.

Two of the three Hanson's were brothers in real life, and played briefly in the NHL or WHA after the movie was filmed.
There was to be a third real life Carlson brother in the movie but he was promoted to the WHA just before filming commenced.
The movie itself is easily my favorite hockey movie of all time and probably on my Mount Rushmore of all time favorite sports movies. (In no particular order Slap Shot, Jerry Maguire, Hoosiers, Caddy shack)
Rocky is in my top six or seven but moves too slow in too many areas. Note: I can't stand Tom Cruise and consider him one of the most overrated actors of the last 40 years, but one of his movies made my sports Mount Rushmore.
