Iowa football has lost its luster, but not its leadership - NCAA Football - Sporting News

We need to get these trophies back. Absolutely have to. From article:


“We’ve been very honest about the media evaluation, looking at us, where we stand,â€￾ James Ferentz says. “If you look at our body of work over the past two years, we’ve been playing .500 ball—and that’s all we are right now.

“It’s been tough on everybody in the program. It’s not where we want to be. It’s not where our fans want us to be. It’s just something we need to change. That’s on us. We’re the ones who put us in that position.â€￾

For motivation, all the Hawkeyes must do is notice the four empty trophy cases that greet them when they walk into their football complex. “They’re from our rivalry games,â€￾ the younger Ferentz says, “and they’re empty.

“That’s a loud reminder of where we are as a program.â€￾

Good article. Hawks definitely need to get their "swagger" back. (along with trophies)

Hopefully by next season we'll begin to see significant improvement.

The Ferentz boys say all the right things. They seem to have that hunger that most have when we are young. Let's hope they can combine their fathers skill with their young fire and put Iowa back near the top.

The Ferentz boys are a great interview man. Dad has gotten way too good at coach speak

I, for one, will do everything in my power to get those trophies back.

If ISU wins I plan on rushing the field and taking the trophy anyway. Who's with me!?!

I do agree the Hawks have lost their luster. No longer bullies. Just too many bad losses.
