Big Ten Media Days: In Which Nothing Is Surprising

Had he said “I mean we’re the only team in the state other than that voacational school in Ames that claims to play major college football but was almost sent to the MAC a few weeks back, as far as I know” then maybe we have something here.

My experience with motivation through disrespect is…if that which you interpret as disrespectful hurts your feelings, it probably means there’s a shitload of truth to it.

And we I just had an image of a Pants militia or something, with Tiger Hawk rifles, doo rags, and tattoos. Thank you, sir.

He actually also mentions Wartburg, Buena Vista, and Luther as other in-state schools whose fans should be outraged at Clayborn’s egregious disrespect at not mentioning them either. So as a former Vinton-Shellsburg Viking and Loras Duhawk, I too, should be seething with rage at this egomaniacal ruffian’s verbal face-slap? Or perhaps I should be burning with apoplectic righteous indignation at Keeler for not mentioning either of those two schools in his column. So what are you saying, Sean? Loras doesn’t exist? Vinton is a mere figment of my imagination?
 
What a fucking moron.

I really kind of want to know who’s giving BHGP #BigUps at Media Days there. We appreciate the support.

GULK can make up his own words. I’m alright with that.

…that I grew up in Iowa, went to Iowa, and didn’t know Northern Iowa had a football team until we played them last year? Honestly, does anyone give a shit about anything other than Hawkeye football in that state? Maybe methamphetamines in Des Moines, but other than that…

by making sure it was tucked in. The sign of a true Iowan.

I will take that any day of the week over Woolfolks trash talking. Ferentz does a real good job of circling the wagons. The Hawkeye plays could hate each others guts for all we know but you will never hear one Hawkeye player slamming another. Another reason that RichRod makes me want to puke. You just know that Bo Schembechler is rolling in his grave. I recant my earlier remarks about beating Michigan not being easy. I now predict that the Hawkeyes will go all Henry Steele on the Wolverines and give it to em all the way up with a red hot poker.

regarding a Nebby rivalry game. I can only imagine he has some awesome trophy designed already. While the conference elder statesmen cut off questions about conference divisions by passing the decision off to “the commissioner and his brilliant staff who are much smarter about that high level stuff than this poor dumb football coach” the younger coaches are busy tweeting and facebooking their desires for a new conference order. My left brain tells me that Ferentz, Paterno and Tressel will have much more influence behind closed doors than the youngsters will have through public displays while my right brain just wants to surf the web for porn.

or did he intimate on national TV that he suffered from bladder control problems?

DJK has snipers trained on him every time he speaks to a member of the press.

That’s weird. I always thought Ferentz was a “handguns at close range” type of guy.

Now, the Charlie Weis days at Notre Dame were known for using snipers to keep players in line. That’s why after Weis was fired, you have the Nate Montana drinking scandal.

and NO mention of Ron Zook talking about how he spent his summer water-skiing and buying appliances? The only eye-raising part is where Rittenberg says Zook appeared “uncharacteristically relaxed.” Uncharacteristically??? If there is one constant to the Zooker it is that he is always relaxed, with a kind of Alfred E. Newman “what, me worry?” look on his face as he stupidly assumes that everything is going to work just fine.
