For twenty minutes the media was allowed into Iowa Football's Insight.com Bowl practices yesterday. Here is a recap of some tweets by Marc Morehouse and the DI's Jordan Garretson:
- Walk-on quarterback Kyle Anderson is playing the part of Landry Jones
- Shaun Prater will play Friday
- Mike Daniels thinks LeVar Woods is doing a "great job"
- The team has had issues with cramps
- Nolan MacMillan was practicing
- De'Andre Johnson has lost the red jersey
- Canzeri and Bullock looked to be splitting reps with the ones
- Brad Herman wasn't practicing
I'm as loyal a guy as there ever was," Considine said. "And I think I get that from coach Ferentz. Just look at how he's treated those guys since they've been here and the loyalty that you see in this program. I'm loyal to coach Parker. He taught me the game of football.
I've never played against Oklahoma before. As a kid I've always admired Oklahoma; I've always thought Bob Stoops was a classy guy. We're going to play a great team with a great coach -- it's fun. It's a challenge, but I've always admired Oklahoma football.
Hoops. Tonight, the Hawkeye men's basketball team will open up Big Ten conference play with Purdue. Iowa has won three games in a row and defeated Purdue in the regular season finale last year. Devyn Marble is listed as the starting point guard, Zach McCabe still at center.
It's show-time. No more cupcakes. The Hawkeyes will face Purdue followed by Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio State, Michigan State and Michigan. All over the next two weeks. For Iowa to finish the season at .500 they will have to finish 8-10 in Big Ten play.

That's it. Short and sweet. Lot's of bullets, so many bullets. I''ll update the comment section if anything emerges over the next 24 hours. After that it's off to Phoenix. Have a Happy New Year and let's go Hawks!

Eff sharks
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in the wild was a fight between a couple dolphins and a shark. Those things beat the piss out of that shark. If you don’t think sharks can have facial expressions that convey, “Please God, let me die. Make it stop,” you are very wrong.
I desire some Photoshop / MS Paint action of Iowa dolphins.
GO IOWA AWESOME
I hate these fucking dolphins!
I’m so pissed I could spit.

Actually, that's almost a valid point ;)
That’s from the California Screaming coaster in the California Adventure Park… its the only magnetic induction coaster (I think – that means no chains to pull up the hill – the cars are moved via magnets) in the US, and its the longest at a little over a mile with an upside down loop.
I’ve ridden it 13×. Its FUN. My (at the time) 10 year old son and I rode it 10 of those 13 times together when we visited the park in October 2010. (Not in a row, but over the course of a few days – I think the most we did was 4x in a row when it wasn’t very busy (I about threw up after the 3rd ride but I’M A TEAM PLAYER AND MY KID WANTED TO RIDE so I swallowed hard and got back on).
But its by far the fastest coaster at Disneyland… none of the other coasters go above 35 mph. When you board California Screaming, it goes around a little curve, and stops over the water, and then launches from 0-55 mph in 3 1/2 seconds – about like a Porsche up a hill, and then you drop 100+’ almost immediately… the upside down loop is near the end, the ride lasts about 2 minutes…
BTW, on the LaMichael James web post, someone suggested they were posing. If you’ve not ridden Space Mountain (or California Screaming) before, that’s kind of hard to do, the camera is near the end and there’s no “SMILE” (unless they’ve changed things) prompting you to get your picture taken.
I wonder if any of the Oregon players did the Hollywood Tower of Terror gravity drop :) That’s a blast too!
I mean, my daughter, who was 8 when we were at Disney, hated Space Mountain – she wouldn’t talk to us for two hours after we got off – but she was 8 and that’s understandable, but guys that regularly dodge 300+ lb guys that are trying to kill them, being scared on a roller coaster – especially at Disney, where you’re riding AAA equipment compared to say Six Flags or some country fair where the equipment is bolted together by weed smoking carnies working minimum wage – seems kind of silly.

Cramps?
It’s been pretty cool here all week, although it is the desert so it is always dry. Hopefully this shouldn’t be an issue during the game. By the time the game starts, it should be in the 50’s.
That’s our ugly trophy.

Our most recent trophy, anyway.
They still let us keep the Orange Bowl trophy, I think. (I heard it was touch and go after we lost to Minnesota again, though.)

I think it looks kind of cool. At the very least it is unique.

So, they must be pretty confident that Marion will not be punished too severly.
I don’t think they are taking another 141 lber.
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
Wouldn't the coaches be the group that handed down the punishment?
Driving while barred doesn’t sound like something that would require Barta’s ruling.
by The Mexican't on Dec 28, 2011 10:37 AM CST up reply actions
I am really not sure.
His previous punishments were dealt with at Barta’s level and above. I don’t know what the disciplinary considerations are for a guy with a history like Montel’s,
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
Interesting
I didn’t realize that the other stuff came from the administration.
It really sounds like Marion is going to get away with this one entirely. Everyone seems to have shrugged their shoulders and moved on.
by The Mexican't on Dec 28, 2011 10:41 AM CST up reply actions
That's because it's a ridiculous and victimless
“Crime.” He just better make sure not to do it again. I’ve seen people sent to jail for 180 days for DWB Habitual. Albeit, this was like their 5th DWB.
I think the upper administration trusted Brands
to decide if Marion would get a second third chance, but I believe they were involved in his initial expulsion from the team.
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
Marion said
he did not know his licsense had been suspended. Which is possible I guess and if true, certainly lessens the severity of this in the eyes of the coaching staff. How you prove you didn’t know I have no idea.

Supposedly he'd moved and never gotten the suspension notice from the DMV.
Whether or not that’s true… I dunno.

I am slightly off-put by a former player weighing-in like that on a coach search to a reporter
There isn’t anything obviously wrong with it, but it just makes me wince a little.
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
We don't know the question that prompted it
It was probably “Everybody says Parker is the guy, what say you?”
We also don’t know if he was told “Parker’s the guy, so if the press asks, don’t say anything but play him up a bit if it fits in”
Whoever is hired expect much gnashing of teeth because it wasn’t Name Brand Coach X.

It'd be a lot worse it it were negative.
Generic support for a former coach seems pretty harmless to me. I’d be peeved if any former player gave an on the record interview bad-mouthing a former coach.
Yeah, that’s a double standard. But I’m ok with it.
I agree with you
FWIW. glaring double standard that I happily live with.

it's not a double standard so much as it's basic human emotion
good things>bad things so yea, sure.
my point was we’ve just been hearing “Ferentz” and “loyal” in the same sentence as often as we’re hearing “jesus” and “tebow”
According to a Husker sports report yesterday Kacenski
is already teaching the Nebraska some technique that should help them in defending mobile QB’s. LOL
With experience as our guide
that’ll end poorly
Im going to be at this game
Its the first Iowa game of any kind i have been to since i was around 10. really excited

That would be so cool. I’d love have my Hawks come play in the People’s Republic of Boulder. But, although there are a great many other transplanted Iowans out here who may share that opinion, there are many more CU fans who would want to renew the CU/UN-L “rivalry”.

Wouldn't Nebraska be more likely there?
They have some history at least.

That's assuming that it's a single rival for each school.
Which this does not appear to be. Giving each school a permanent rival from a different conference sounds like a terrible idea.

If I have to hate anybody
as much as I hate Purdue, it may cause an aneurysm.

They are Our Most Hated Rival. If you hated anyone as much, that would be two mosts. And that’s unpossible.

That makes more sense.
Bad as the B10 setup was, I can’t imagine having to see Minnesota attempt to come up with some hate for Washington State or Utah.
by Norm Parker's Amputated Toes on Dec 28, 2011 2:28 PM CST up reply actions
I'm guessing it'll be more like the ACC-B1G basketball challenge
Not sure if it’ll rotate regularly, or if they’ll try to forecast for competitive match-ups. If I had to guess who Iowa opens the agreement with it’d be Arizona State.
by The Mexican't on Dec 28, 2011 1:22 PM CST up reply actions
That's how I understand it, that it will rotate annually like the ACC-Big 10 Challenge
Can’t wait for Iowa to play CU. Frankly, I’d like it to be in Denver – LOTS of Iowa fans out here. The crowd might be 50/50 if it’s in Denver.
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
Well, don't get too excited just yet.
We’ll have been through two more presidential elections by that point.
I can ride my bike with no handlebars...
I like the idea, in general
And I’m sure it would be possible to keep the ISU game, as well as provide us with another fun/interesting/non-cupcake/noteworthy nonconference opponent. But I guess we won’t be playing Pitt, Syracuse, or other east coast teams. I think Ferentz liked to do that for recruiting purposes, getting iowa talked and recognized more over there. Conversely, more west coast recruiting?
What about the possibility of a Rose Bowl rematch? Or do you think Delaney is preempting a possible end to the BCS in the next 5-10 years or a loss of Rose Bowl tie-in by preserving the Big Ten-Pac 12 relationship in an alternate way?
The likelihood of a Rose Bowl rematch is probably low enough that it won't be a significant issue.
I’m not smart enough to quickly calculate the odds of that happening, but it seems like it might be difficult.
I’d really like to see Iowa State drop entirely so that games on the east coast could continue. Or, at least pull a Paterno and demand a 2-for-1 agreement with Iowa State.
by The Mexican't on Dec 28, 2011 1:16 PM CST up reply actions
Odds of a Rose Bowl rematch: 1 in 78
unless they try to pair up for competitive matchups, and I have no idea how to figure that out.
The Rose Bowl will continue to be a B1G v PAC affair for a long time. All three parties are making a ton of money and want things to stay as they are. The BCS as we know it will probably end, morphing into a plus 1 setup with the participating bowl games not being restricted by BCS team picking rules seems the most likely outcome.

oh yeah, the media met with the players again today
there’s these tweets,
RT @HawkeyeInsider: Kirk said he would consider son, Brian, for an asst. position on his #Iowa staff.
RT @jordangarretson: Jason White said the backs have no idea who will start Friday.
RT @SusanDenk: James white the running back representing the Iowa starters at upcoming press conferences.
seriously?
RT @RPendergraft: #Sooners fans, Iowa has their own Jason White. He’s a running back. He talked to me about Jason White, OU’s Heisman Trophy winner.
seriously?
haha. That's an impressive stretch for a Sooners reporter to make.

Actually, it's ridiculously easy to make it so that no one but your friends can see your page and/or posts.
If he didn’t know, now he does. And he seems to be taking the right step. He doesn’t want as much “fame,” therefore he’s taking the steps to reduce it. So you’re right, sort of. That’s cool. Even if a college athlete doesn’t know what they’re getting into, once they learn, they can’t complain about it if they don’t try to change the situation.
Good one, though.

Anyone have his phone number? I'd like to dissuade him from doing that.

Didn't see this posted and maybe it was going to make an appearance in tomorrow's article
Gesell had a game down in Phoenix today against the defending state champ in Arizona’s second-biggest class. He had 34 points, 9 assists, 5 boards. One organizer of the mini tournament said Gesell reminded him of Mike Bibby. That’s a pretty lofty comparison.
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
I think they have another game tomorrow or Friday as well
They play a team that has a 5-star football recruit (Andrus Peat) and a guard that has committed to ASU (Calaen Robinson I believe). Should be a much tougher test.
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
This is likely WAY too premature...
But I’m starting to feel a Gesell-Marble-White-Basabe-Woodbury starting lineup next year.
