Iowa Basketball. Kickass
Anyone going to the blowout tomorrow night? I have a friend heading up to take his son. I thought about tagging along to see what all the fuss is about.

Wrestling season is right around the corner, too. Doesn't matter. Cael is the next Gabel and will win every fucking thing in sight for years. I'd invite you up to Midlands, but I heard the Hawks are too fucking chicken to show up this year. Gonna be a bad year, brah.

As for Ped State - bad news for one of Cael's studs - Dake moved up to 165 for his senior year and already has a pin of Taylor this summer. I used to go to Midlands every year when I was lived in Chicago - I miss that tournament.

;D Soooo nice to have one major program with promise. Agreed but how many years before Fran isn't doing enough and the program is going in the wrong direction? I'm giving him 3 years. He better enjoy the honeymoon.

But I don't see Fran as being the type to rape the university of 3.7 mil a year to chew gum and recruit sub-par players while getting his kids nice cush jobs.

I'm planning a trip to IC on Jan 19 for the Wisconsin game. Normally I would see that game in town as I did last year but I'll be out of town for work.
What games are some of you fucks going to?

What is it with everyone bitching about Kirk's salary. The guy sells out Kinnick every weekend and brings in untold of money via merchandise sales, advertising, etc. He is making all of this money in the middle of nowhere. Anyone who bitches about his salary has no leg to stand on fiscally speaking. As CEO of program that is (lets face it) about making money, not so much wins and losses he is doing, at minimum, just fine.

LOL, read Dug's post above on KF's salary (that doesn't give him a pass on our shitty record the last 3 years but he is bringing in plenty of money, for now) As for getting his kid a nice job, the OL is one of the lone bright spots on this team and it isn't like he picked him up off the street he came from coaching the fucking Patriots.

The kid's apparently doing a good job (still waiting for them to show it against a defense with a pulse), but I don't give a fuck that he came from the Patriots. Do you really believe somebody with what, three years of coaching experience, gets the OL job if he wasn't St. Kirk's kid?

Coaching 3 years in the NFL and the last coaching a unit that was by far the best in the NFL. (He doesn't get all the credit, but it doesn't hurt) yes a guy would get an OL job. It's funny that you bring up the 3 years of experience: Kirk Ferentz- 1978- Worcester Academy DC 1979- Worcester Academy DC 1980- Pitt assistant OL coach 1981- Iowa OL Coach Brian has a hell of a lot better resume than his dad did when he got the same job with Iowa.

If Fran does for the basketball program what Kirk did in his first ten years for the basketball program, he will get paid as well.
I have a really hard time he'll put us in the elite 8 three times during the next several years though.

What is it with everyone bitching about Kirk's salary. Why do I give a fuck about how much $ Kirk brings into the U? It's about me and my ROI. I'm not asking for Kirk to give me a reach-around, just win more games or at least stop losing to horse-shit middle of the road MAC teams AT HOME. Yes, Iowa bball has shit the bed under Fran too. And if Fran and his boys keep shitting the bed I will rip on him too.

Whether or not Brian is qualified to be the O line coach, does anyone here NOT think that KF and nepotism go hand-in-hand?

Well, that's obvious Dug. Thanks for pointing that out. But I also am not posting to the U. I am posting to common fans here who may (or may not) share my viewpoint. But again, thanks for your input.

I never understood this line of thinking, if Brian is qualified for the job (and so far seems to be doing a damn fine job) who gives a fuck if he's KF's son? Honestly, who cares? Now if he hired him from working at Hy-Vee than I would agree. Once again just seems like something else for people to use to bitch about KF. Don't get me wrong there are a ton of things that I think he has fucked up on over the years but hiring his qualified son to be on his coaching staff sure as hell isn't one of them. Especially since something this staff needed was some younger blood. I also think that being KF's son allows him to say shit to KF that other coaches wouldn't be able to do. Like "hey dad, you need to pull your head out of your ass we just lost to Central Fucking Michigan."

(which I guess isn't quite the definition of 'nepotism' but you get my drift) Though I may have to change my tune as I was reminded that son Steven is actually walking on next fall. What a breath of fresh air.
