LIVE/Open Thread: Blogging the Apocalypse

[Bumped. Let's see what actually comes out today. --AJ]

Well, per numerous sources, a press release on Iowa Football will be released shortly.  Given the avalanche of rumors swirling around the internets, I doubt this will be an announcement that any of us are looking forward to reading.  The Hampton thread has started to bog down, so I thought a sparkly new thread (as clean as new-driven "snow") would be appropriate as we watch the continuing meltdown of the 2010 season.

At this point, I'm just hoping that we still have enough players left that we don't have to go "ironman" for the bowl game.  Your rampant speculation and rumor-mongering begins below.

Unless otherwise expressly indicated by BHGP editors, this FanPost is strictly the viewpoint of the author and is not endorsed by BHGP in any way.

But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.

According to MOrehouse

The only thing the release will confirm is that Hampton is gone.

not exactly what everyone had in mind. So this will continue to build and build and build…

There was another rumor

that KF will announce some suspensions at the end of the week, and maybe a few guys will get booted, too.

Well, you always announce bad news on Friday, right?

It’s a wonder they didn’t announce it right before the Heisman ceremony to really bury it.

That was pretty shitty timing.

Florida’s story is that the story was already leaking out, so they wanted to go ahead and confirm it. I’m sure it’s true (the leaking, that is), but even still it’s not like waiting an hour would have killed them. Confirming it made a constant story on the ESPN ticker and made it easier for the pundits to talk about it — and take away from the Heisman ceremony.

Weak sauce

BTW, and I say this with nothing by love and respect for Mas Casa, but his assertion that he and Hlas (among many, many others) “have reported nothing on this topic [suspensions/dismissals/drugs/transfers]” is the very definition of “parsing one’s words”.

It's a great workout

Don’t plan on going too far unless you’re already in pretty darn good shape – you’ll feel it the next day regardless.

Work on good form before you go for speed. You want to glide further with minimal effort. If you’re pumping your arms and legs like crazy and not going that fast, you’re doing it wrong. Don’t lean far forward, stay centered over your feet, knees slightly bent.

Hydrate properly… you’re going to sweat a lot, but since it’s cold out you might not notice dehydration as fast. And if you don’t drink a lot of water beforehand, you WILL get cramps. The rule of thumb is if you’re thirsty, it’s already too late.

Excellent points

especially on not planning on going very far. It’s kinda like surfing that way. You’ll get pretty upset at the people who have been doing it for a while when they can last for more than 20 minutes without feeling dead tired.

Excellent advice

As an modestly expreienced XCskier, I say forget the poles your first few times. Just go out on levelish ground to get a feel for how you move and how to fall. At least, that’s what they did to us in junior high. I love XCSkiing myself, just no time.

Ironman might not be a bad thing

Last year we played only 4 D Lineman for almost every minute of every game. This year, our line looked gased by half. As much as our players don’t talk about the hype, I think they started to believe it and got lazy. I think having a few more DJK’s (the player, not the dealer) to play with some damn emotion during games might help. I feel bad for Clayborn, to do the great (and rare) thing of coming back to better himself and his team at the expense of potential financial gains. Hope the younger guys see this as an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something special. And it snowballs from there.

I still think Clayborn in a first-rounder...

While he didn’t a Shu-like senior year, just about every color commentator remarked on his athleticism this season. Not that THAT says much about draft stock, but what the hell do I know?

by hawkeye_heartattack on Dec 13, 2010 2:23 PM CST up reply actions  

I agree

I think he’s still going to be ok. He will make more in signing bonus than I will make in a decade. I just feel bad that he had to come back for the purpose of contributing to something special, and he ending up with dreck.

There's really no point talking about the latter until we know who is -- or isn't -- playing in that game.

Although if we want a new way to castigate the coaching staff, we can pillory them for their recruiting failures against Mizzou, like letting the Hoch brothers leave Iowa or not landing Gabbert.

Just got a sneak peek at the press release from an inside source

And the truth is far worse than we can imagine. Ferentz is falling on his sword and retiring. KOK has been tabbed as the new coach. Norm also stepping down due to health reasons, GERG Robinson is his replacement. KOK already has a new 10-year contract that will pay him $2M per year, with a $50M buyout, making him all but untouchable.

I am of two minds of this

so far the list of players under suspicion is surprisingly one sided. That looks bad in several ways.

But getting your picture taken while doing drugs is stupid and if that is how they were chosen to be the first players to be tested than they got what they deserved.

But if only the black players are being singled out right now that surely looks bad and could lead to some sports chemistry issues.

Right now I am just mostly pissed.

Hopefully they tested the whole team to avoid as much as they can of this scandal. Also because it’s the right thing to do.

by The Final Gun on Dec 13, 2010 4:17 PM CST up reply actions  

While I absolutely think that the players...

on DJK’s computer should be tested, perhaps they should test the entire team in order to quell any possible sentiments that are like the ones that Bellanca predicts.

Personally, I didn’t think race had anything to do with this, but it isn’t the worst thing in the world if we make sure it can’t.

And if ten or 11 black players (many of our best players included) were going to be ineligible for the bowl anyway, we might as well risk having about 15 to 25 (I hope it would be that few) overall, because we weren’t going to win this bowl anyway once we had the first ten ineligible.

I just peed in a cup right now. Feel free to test it.

Other than the structural racism that (in my opinion) typifies much of current drug law, Iowa City culture, and police-procedure. That’s a conversation for another time (or not).

But if your investigation leads towards requiring the investigation of 10 black players, then you’d better investigate the whole team.

You are NOT the father but your piss if warm

I’m pretty sure everyone was tested. I’m also pretty sure that I can’t think of a single reason why anyone would throw 11 players off the team because they’re black. Winning knows no color. There may be instances of structural racism in the University or city, but that aint this.

I have to say that discussions of race is very generational

In a nutshell Bellanca is not saying anything controversial, at all. I have found it fascinating that the youth of our country really took political correctness of the last couple of decades to heart—they just hate discussing race in blunt, unfiltered ways.

I really suggest everyone go buy RIchard Dyer’s book, “White”.

Issues among players don't always leak to the press and blogs

It would not be a stretch to suggest that some players (past, present and future) could take a good hard look at substance abuse issues in the KF era, case by case, and even couple them up with those of the Lickliter era, case by case, and then examine how punishment was meted out by each coach, and even look at the medias and publics reaction to these cases, and arrive at a conclusion that something’s rotten in Denmark.

And understand, it really doesn’t matter if something REALLY IS rotten in Denmark, only that there is some evidence that can support unflattering conclusions to being drawn.

Believe me, it doesn’t matter if this blog doesn’t believe there is any fire (or smoke even), but if the perception develops that being black is a problem when you get in trouble with the Iowa football (or any other) team, that is not the perception you want developing for your athletic department—whether that perception develops among the players themselves or by the student body or the media.

I read Bellanca’s concern about the possible perception, not the reality. I, however, am concerned not only about the perception but the reality as well. I always am. I want these things fair and blind to things like race, background, or even which sport pays for your education, etc. I don’t think raising concerns about fairness and even handedness is problematic in these cases whatsoever.

Two is more likely because we’ll be hard to get another bowl invite if we bail.

Does anyone almost hope there is more to this?

Because if not, then it seems like Iowa’s athletic department is slowly pissing everyone off: players with drug-tests, fans with bad news and rumors of more bad news, and now media with a false-start on a presser.

I guess maybe they could back out of the bowl, just to make sure NOBODY likes them anymore.

The simpler explanation is that there's nothing sinister here

And that there’s no legs to the rampant drugs story, just a lot of people speculating. We will see.
