Cool video...

OK, I have to ask a question.
I know it will make me sound either dumb or like a whiner.
Are they at a hotel just to prepare the players for the gameday (and night before) routine for the season? Are they only there for one night at the beginning of training camp, or several nights?
I realize that plenty of the players already live off-campus, but it seems like there would be an open dorm to use during the early part of training camp. I’m sure the expense is covered by donors (or maybe even donated by the hotel?) But it just seems a bit needless for training camp.
We will become more intensity!!! --What Reading Rambler thinks Tom Brands should do.
I think all (if not all, I know some) dorms allow early move in for students up to a full week before the start of the semester.
So I think that would overlap if the team was still in the dorms that last full week before school starts. I’m pretty sure they stay at the hotel for all of camp. They also stay there on Friday nights before games. Think of it as distraction prevention.

Does anyone know if the Iowa dorms are pretty much all used during this or recent school-years?
I think UNI usually has a surplus of dorm rooms, to the point that they have sometimes closed off some floors in the two tall tower dorm buildings (Dancer and Bender).

Iowa has had a shortage of dorm rooms during the academic year (or at least the beginning of the year) for the last decade-plus.

They did add a bunch of dorms onto Dirty Burge. Not sure otherwise, didn’t they snatch some apts in The Lodge by IC Wal Mart?

Yes, the UI leases some of the apartments in The Lodge for transfer students.
The UI has been short on housing for a long time because there were people in temp housing when I was a freshman.
My guess is that it separates them from students who may be on campus early.
Probably helps to ensure that the players are all together, while isolating them from any non-football related distractions. I’m sure they’re less likely to be harassed at the hotel than they would be if they were spotted in a dorm.

Do we really have to isolate them from the other incoming students?
We don’t seem to worry about them getting harassed during the school year (outside of Friday nights).

This might be especially important for the incoming guys. The are in a controlled environment, where they can be immersed in the culture of the team, get to know the other players, develop some comaraderie, and not be distracted by campus nonsense.

Yeah, maybe.
It just seems like a lot of slightly over-bearing effort (and a lot of expense?) for “student-athletes.”
The biggest problems I’d have with it are the (sort-of-needless) transportation (and costs) to do this.
Also, it would be kind of bitch to be sequestered to a hotel for two weeks before school even starts.

I don't think it is overbearing at all.
These are the guys they are going to be spending a majority of their time with. They need to start bonding early and having them all in one place is a good way to make them spend time together. It is also easier for the staff to make sure everyone is in the right place at the right time and on time to scheduled events.
That, and since it's camp,
I would think/hope that they would be too tired to be doing much of anything else but hang out. I would think a nice hotel would be better for this than any dorm or shit-tastic apartment or house in Iowa City.

Chazz, what part of "camp" don't you understand?
Kind of hard to do team building when you don’t make it feel like you’ve kind of gotten away from it all. It’s not an extravagance of the athletic department.
Same reason NFL teams go away for camp.

Yeah, but this isn't the NFL.
These guys are 18 to 23 years old (usually).
I’m assuming the practices are occurring on the practice fields near the Fry Complex/Indoor Tennis Center. It just seems kind of dumb to me to haul them all to a hotel (is it in CR or IC, I don’t know?) just to haul them back to the Fry Complex the again in the morning.
I understand why they do this on nights before games, but it just seems like kind of a needless expense to me in the summer. I’m assuming they don’t do the same thing for spring practice (but guys are still in classes, then, too.)
Finally, if we are really at the point that we can’t get 120 guys to be at practice on time on August 10th, how in the hell do we do so during the season?
This whole thing isn’t really a huge deal to me, but just seems a little like overkill to me.

I think it's really just to keep them all at one place
under wraps as much as possible, and to allow/force them to interact with each other and the upperclassmen. Here it’s a shared experience.
And as far as logistics go, from the Googles, it would seem that their staying at the Coralville Marriott, which is probably no further from most of the dorms and provides the ease of one-place, one-collection point.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I think it's just an attempt to control the environment as much as possible
Instead of just dumping them loose in IC after practice. Given the way camp goes, it’s not like they’ll have a lot of free time and you want to make sure they wander off and don’t get lost resulting in them losing their clothing while running through the Pita Pit. Or something.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I can all but guarantee
that that is being paid for by Iowa Football. No hotel is going to donate that many rooms. Donor money is a funny thing since money is fungible. But I highly, highly doubt that the source of the funding is donors.
Northwestern goes to a camp up in Wisconsin for a few weeks. After reading the article on it, I think it’s a great idea. Iowa should do the same. I’m sure that sequestering them in a hotel is an effort to recreate the “all football, all the time” mentality

I also have a feeling
that those rooms are heavily discounted since they’re reserved in bulk and I have a sneaking suspicion that the demand at the Coralville Marriott & Conference Center isn’t too high right now.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Yeah, I was thinking the hotel cut them a break.
Maybe not free, but probably not $100+ per night, either.

In the overall football operating budget
I would guess that the hotel costs for camp are rather negligible.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Maybe.
I’ll go high with my estimate and say that the hotel is charging them $75 for a room.
We have how many players? I’ll say 120, even though it could be more with red-shirts and walk-ons.
Maybe coaches and some support staff? Let’s add another 30 people.
Now, if you put two people to a room, you get 75 rooms, times $75 a night. That’s $5625 per night. Take that times 14 days (2 weeks?), and you get just under $80k.
But, I didn’t figure in any possible transportation, food, or entertainment costs.
/when I just typed “entertainment costs”, I got the mental image of players and coaches playing charades. LOL/LAWL

No, for something like this
you get a basic, flat fee rate for the entirety. It wouldn’t surprise me if it were in the neighborhood of $20K or so, or possibly more. Keep in mind also that this is essentially free money for the hotel, because there is likely nothing else that the place would be used for in these weeks.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I AM EXCITED.

Anyway, it was pretty funny. I believe they had to take it down. They walked around Iowa City with a cardboard cutout of Tom Brands and talked to him and introduced him to people.

ESPN did a few episodes of Iowa Wrestling on "The Season" a few years back
which is basically like “Hard Knocks.” I think it was the 2001-2002 season. They didn’t win a national title in whatever year it was filmed and it was during the Zalesky years, but it was still pretty badass. I’m sure you can still probably find it on Youtube.

One of the KRs maybe?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I agree, KR would be nice.
I don’t see KF putting true-frosh out there though. I just don’t see the point of putting Hyde, Davis, or McNutt out there for KR or PR. Too valuable.
Battles are won with a hammer, wars are won with a scalpel
DJK returned kickoffs and he was pretty valuable.
Hinkel returned punts and he was pretty valuable.
Hell, we had Ochoa still returning punts in ’03 when our other options at receiver were a few guys they pulled out of the student section.
I understand the fear of guys getting injured back there, but it’s not like that has been a huge issue for Iowa. The only return men I can recall getting hurt were Hinkel in ‘05 (hammy?) and Chaney in ’09. Frankly, I’m not sold on McNutt at PR because I don’t think he’s a good fit there; guys who are quick and can make the first guy miss tend to be the best options there. I love Marvin, but I don’t think that really describes him too well.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I think a huge part of it
is finding a guy that almost never fumbles.

Have you any real reason to assume that McNutt would fumble a punt?
by The Mexican't on Aug 10, 2011 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions
No one will ever accuse me of being in over-agreement with Chazz
but I’m with him on this one. Not because I think McNutt would be fumble prone – I have no idea if he would be or wouldn’t be – but because I don’t see him as an effective PR. He’s too tall and lanky, he can’t make the guy miss. He’s like Brodell without Brodell’s hip movement, making him ineffective in congested space while waiting for the ball (but makes him great after a catch as he is able to overpower or step out of arm tackles from a CB).
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I don't necessarily think that McNutt would be a great PR.
I agree with what you’re saying. Basically, McNutt isn’t going to make anyone miss. I also don’t think he’s all that quick, but fumbles seems off-base.

For one of the jobs I have had, I was forced to give presentations to my intimidating boss. For some, I had to sell him inanimate objects that he pointed out to me and deliver an immediate 3 minute pitch. For others, I had a day or less to prepare on specific topics. During my delivery, if I said “aaah” or “ummm” 3 times, I had to start over. This was in front of the boss and 3 of my peers. One of my compadres had to re-start 7x before he got through. It was brutal. The lesson? Practice, practice, practice. Cures the ’umms" and “you knows”.
