No CG, everyone has not done what your friend DJK has done. He has forfeited his right to be treated as a member of the Iowa football team, and he can wear whatever helmet he wishes to wear, but it should not be furnished by the University of Iowa Athletic Department.
DJK to put Hawkeye Helmet on one last time

That may be true, but I guarantee if you made a mistake bad enough to be fired from your job, your former employer would not allow you to continue using their logo. No difference here.

Harmon's name remains and so will DJKs. The name in the history books isn't a real issue. Hawkeye consequences for him are temporary and immediate. As far as other consequences (NFL; legal; etc.) those are still pending.

There have been times this season where I too have questioned ACs desire in that in previous years, double team or not, he found a way to make an impact. I know he struggled with an injury this year but even prior to the injury it was clear at the end of games that AC and the rest of our defense didn't have the endurance to make plays at the ends of games when we needed them to step up. But I don't think it's a questions of ACs heart or his motivation. If you question ACs devotion watch the following video.

He got hurt against Wisconsin. The only loss prior to that game was Arizona, so there wasn't exactly a lot of examples of the defense being worn down, because we were 5-2 after the Wisky game. He was playing hurt in 4 of our 5 losses (including the end of the Wisky game).

What does Harmon have to do with this?!

Was/is Ronnie Harmon's name considered as much of a taboo as DJK's? That was his point. If Ronnie Harmon keeps his place in the record books, so does DJK.
Do you not know about Harmon and his final bowl game? Look up the history of him. It was just as bad as what DJK did. We are bitter at DJK but ultimately he will be remembered more for the good he did than the bad way it ended. Just like Harmon being considered one of the best players ever at IA.

Blame KOK and the offense for the defense being tired at the end of the game.

FWIW, writer for the National Football Post cites a source saying DJK won't be wearing an Iowa helmet in the NFLPA game, but this reports seems pretty sketchy. Difficult to believe, however, that the school would allow him to.

Well, put down the bong, then!
I'm ok with DJK wearing it IF the University approves. Whether the U has a legal right to block this is unclear, but the game organizers do, and I believe they'd honor the University's request.

I hate to tell you this, but if Joey Butta****o wants to wear a Hawkeye helmet to a grabass game he can.
I might even wear mine out to check the mail while wearing my Hawkeye boxers... you all have objections? You think the University of Iowa can stop me?

I am glad to hear of him having a shot to do something positive. I am also glad that he has not lost his passion for Hawkeye Football even though he was dismissed from the team.
Nobody wins here... nobody is completely right. But forgiveness is a wonderful thing. I know how many times I have needed forgiveness and never got it... so I wish him well, I hope he does well in the game, and to me he will always be a Hawkeye.
