Do you guys remember in Ferentz's first or second season (you know, the lean years), right after the last game of the year (loss, natch), where some obscure offensive lineman was telling every reporter afterwards that Ferentz would have the Hawkeyes back in the Rose Bowl in 4 years or something like that? Do you guys remember who it was? I last remembered about 3 years ago, and Google was barely helpful even when I had the kid's name; now it's impossible. I've been racking my brain over this for about 48 hours and it is killing me. Winner gets a pecan sandie that I found on the floor of my friend's apartment. No wait, I ate that. Winner gets a three-seconds-too-long hug.

Mmmmm…. you smell good, Dodger.
You smell real good.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
ok, even worse
I didn’t find it – but I did find this from the gazette, where you can search on all their old articles back to 1979. I used it to try to find the article in question, but came up empty.
OPS - Intimidated by the thought of dozens of young, fit women running around in Spandex since 2003

Having rowed in college
I can say definitively that members of the women’s crew team are never, never attractive. Unless they’re a coxswain. Or go the University of Miami (da U, not the Ohio variant).
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Two nits to pick
1. Miami (OH) girls, I’m told, are among the hottest north of the Mason-Dixon. They’re to hotness what jOSU is to football. And like jOSU, they’d never beat Texas.
1a. Putting a j in front of team names is addictively fun.
2. There were some good-looking girls on the Iowa team. It’s Iowa, for crying out loud. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting an 8 or a 9. Where you’d get the dead cat is none of my business. Anyway, it’s not like they just went around freshman orientation and said “hey, your face is whack, get on this canoe” and made a crew team. The girls are fit, and it’s kinda hard to be unattractive when you’re in shape and 19. And a chick.

I'm sure they were attractive
But they had a lot of competition being in Iowa City. Most college girls seem hot now, but back then I remember being very picky. I dated a jew who had white nipples and was in the Big Ten Playboy issue. Broad bugged the shit out of me.
Hmmm.....yeah
We’re probably going to need photos.
Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon....

Nice work
I’ve always been a big fan of breast bottoms
(like Chocolate and Cheese style)

Amazingly
Walking around freshmen orientation going “You look awfully mannish” was the way the way they recruited the girls team at Georgetown. Since the fundamentals success in women’s crew are generally predicated on the same ideals of East German women’s swimming. If your goal is to put together a good boat, then Gtown’s efforts were successful. If you’re trying to find girls who don’t make youyour friend chew yourhis arm off just to get away the next morning after the “dinosaur” drags youhim back to her lair.
Oh, and I’m quite aware the Miami (OH) girls are very hot. But Da U girls are much, much hotter, so much so that even the women’s crew team was hot.

Quick question for OPS...
So how long exactly have you been Testing.The.Waters. of muscular women?

There was someone else, too.
I remembered the same quote, it sounded really familiar when King said it. It was something like “I’d give anything I have to play another year at Iowa.” Roger Meyer, maybe?
I’ve been wracking my brain, too, since I heard King this week. Gave me chills. And fever. And some horrible stomach pain. Eventually they had to take my appendix out. But I think it was mostly a coincidence.
I am somewhat certain....
that that was Anthony Herron.
But not that certain, as I originally was thinking Derrick Pickens or Jerry Montgomery before googling and finding out that they were both on the 2001 squad.
Roger Meyer sounds right
And I have no way of confirming that, but it was definitely a senior starter with no NFL aspirations that I really wanted to see back.

That's an unnecessary dig on R.J. Meyer there, OPS
Roger Meyer most definitely had some serious NFL aspirations. Why else do you think he started going by R.J. at one point? I’ve always suspected it was to make the scouts think he was black.
By the way, Wikipedia says that Roger was on the 2001 team. I’d not question wikipedia’s knowledge of Iowa football.

Wasn't Nate Kaeding
the saddest senior ever? I seem to remember his barely being able to kick on senior day he was so choked up. I’m proud of him as an Iowa alum, plus he’s clearly different from the douchey Gramatica brothers.

Big-name coaches could ride off into the sunset in 2009

ESPN.com; Jan 5, 2009;
12. Iowa fans will be nervous The Cleveland Browns will inquire about hiring coach Kirk Ferentz, who might finally be ready to bolt to the NFL. After a couple of not-so-good seasons with the Hawkeyes, Ferentz showed us again why he’s one of the best in the business.
this place smells like feet. i’ll bring a can of lysol next week.
