If Barta were a competent AD, he'd call a presser within the next hour announcing that Northwestern will be a red letter game for Iowa going forward.
The longer Michigan is in limbo, the better for Iowa. This scenario (RR winning 7 and then getting fired) was exactly what I was hoping for. Hopefully they will take a long time hiring a coach which will lead to decommits from recruits.
Hopefully Harbaugh strings them along for awhile.
The funny thing is the AD rambled off half their schedule as "red letter" games.
Here is what the red letter will look like for Iowa

I agree, Hester Prynne.
Dimmesdale, is that you?
Iowa now has 5 red letter games every year:
1. Michigan
2. NW
3. Nebraska
4. Michigan State
5. Minnesota
Why? Because those are our division rivals. We will play them EVERY YEAR. Beat all 5, and you are probably playing for a championship in the Big Ten title game.
If these teams were not red letter games before, they sure as heck are now.
Why put extra pressure on? Players and coaches should have plenty of motivation for this game by now. If they don't, there's a problem.If Barta were a competent AD, he'd call a presser within the next hour announcing that Northwestern will be a red letter game for Iowa going forward.
I agree, Hester Prynne.
But what does my scarlet letter stand for?
you are branded for life as a she-devil, because you are ghost's mouthpiece
That makes as much sense as bringing a pig to an egg-laying contest.
