Ferentz Irritated with Peter Gray Question

[DwayneTwill]

This entire thing is so stupid. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with the football program. This is just idiot muckracking journalists trying to stir up crap. There is a ton of stuff that KF is responsible for and needs to answer to, and this is not one of them. I for one am glad he dropped an F bomb on that idiot reporter. Stick to football related questions moron.

I'm not sure Kurt wants to answer questions about his craptastic football team any more than he wants to answer questions about this perv. Probably less.

I have no argument with much of what you say. Where we part company on this issue is where you indicate that KF is a major player in this story. I absolutely reject that assumption. And, personally, I have no problem with the head coach jumping on what he believes is a dumb question. Fair is fair.

I'm not sure we disagree on that point either. I don't think KF is a major player in this investigation at all. He's simply the marquee name and face that gets the questions.

What will be interesting to see is if McCaffery and/or Bluder get questions about this topic.

I wish some of this emotion would show up during the football games once in awhile.

What do you think KF is writing on his notepad all the time during games? It's just f-bombs. One right after another.

Neither of those coaches have been mentioned in stories as having forbidden their players from meeting with Gray. Why would they be asked about it?

I wouldn't hold my breath for anyone else to get any questions regarding Pervo Gray.
IMO, KF had every right to jump on the reporter. I would take it as an attempt to link the FB program and this guy. I would get fired up too.

1. This thread would not even be here if we were having a decent football season.
2. The matter with Gray is in the hands of the university administration and probably their attorneys...therefore, KF could not address questions in this area...period. The media creep knew darn well that was the case and was simply trying to ambush KF.
3. I am glad KF got angry. He should be angry.
4. Given that the team KF deeply cares about is going through a rough time, I do not expect perfection out of him in the media circus surrounding Iowa football.
5. Any of you guys ever had to deal with the media when you cannot give them information due to legal barriers? Try it. You won't like it.


In conclusion: This thread ranks right up there with the dumbest I have seen. Waste of time.

This thread wouldn't be here if Iowa were winning, because Ferentz likely wouldn't have been so defensive. But the reporter wasn't asking anything specific regarding the investigation, merely if Ferentz had ordered players to cut off contact. Now, if he said yes and the question as to why came up, he couldn't answer that. But the question really had nothing to do with the actual investigation.

This thread would be here if Iowa was winning. Whether KF lost his cool, or not. Disagree.

 

[MoseSchrute]

I certainly regret the time I wasted reading this thread.

 

[Golfer]

You're young Moses, you'll get over it.

 

[franstheman]

I guess it got more heated after the OTS session was over..Morehouse tweeted that KF dropped an F bomb

Who cares? Do people really care about the football coach dropping the F bomb? You ought to sit by the Iowa Basketball bench. Fran's verbage makes the F bomb seem like the Lord's Prayer.

 

[DwayneTwill]

Fran is awesome.

Media creep, trying to ambush the Captain? Hardly.

No one forced you to read it. Which means you only have yourself to blame.

Other people understand why the question was asked and why the Gray story could be damaging to Iowa athletics, fairly or unfairly, in the wake of the Penn State scandal and cover-up. We are all hoping that is not the case here.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Sure, it's not the best thing to do and I am sure he probably didn't mean to, but he did, shouldn't be a big news story, the real story is the pedo Gray
