Ferentz going after PSU players

[IowaFan81]

Awesome tweet from a USC fan:

If I was Silas Redd, I'd be out of state college ASAP and on the next flight to SoCal. No point in playing if you cant win a championship.

Sure, to go from one scandalous school to another.

 

[DexterMorgan]

so his team shouldnt' have played since they couldn't win one? i hear what he's saying but he's still an idiot

That exactly why it's funny/ironic, dude is a moron. Your team was on probation last year.

This has to be somewhat ackward for Ferentz. Both O'Brien and Ferentz are close to Bill Bellicek. And Brian F. was an assistant at New England last year with O'Brien.

Well, if he is going to lose some players, he may prefer they end up in a good place with coaches he can trust.

I know, what's your point?

I told you so.

What'd you tell us?

 

[ThunderHawk]

What'd you tell us?

I told you that Ferentz was pursuing PSU players privately.

Well, until today.

Gotcha, Yeah only the nay sayers doubted that.

 

[tm3308]

I know, what's your point?

His point is that USC was in the same boat for the past two years. Should they have just stopped playing, too?

 

[rmsutherland]

It should be known that Kirk did not tell O'Brien that he was actively going to seek out and recruit PSU players. O'Brien said that he spoke with KF and Kirk said that if a PSU players reached out to Iowa, he would listen.

 

[ThunderHawk]

To some on here, if Ferentz isn't running around screaming with his hair on fire, he's not acting on something.

Me, I always just assume that he's ethically pursuing the program's best interests, even when he does things (final possession in regulation at Ohio State in 2009, for example) which p!ss me off.

 

[DexterMorgan]

So much for Silas Redd being on his way to media day as an excuse for not being at the meeting.

Rittenberg/Bennett ‏@ESPN_BigTen
No Penn State players will attend Big Ten media days. Silas Redd, John Urschel and Jordan Hill had been scheduled to attend.

That's cuz they are only tentatively Penn State players.

No, that was my point.

I think that is probably the smart thing to do on PSU's side. Why have the kids be forced to answer the same question over and over again that has nothing to do with the upcoming season.

Hat's off to whoever made that decision.

I heard the O'Brien interview with both Sportscenter and Mike and Mike and both times he said the KF called him to tell him if PSU players contacted them,Iowa would listen,not that KF told him that Iowa was contacting PSU players.

O'Brien expressed respect for KF for letting him know that, as opposed to other coaches who are just contacting PSU players without talking to him.

This, yet some will never be happy.

I sit in front of idiots that scream we should go for it on every fourth down, no matter the situation, time in the game or score. Others yell out things that show they have no grasp at the very basic rules of football, yet they all somehow know more than our coaches.

My wife has elbowed me in the side more than once to keep me from telling them how F'ing stupid they are. Good times!

Any idea about what time Obrien was on?
