Surprise! Rhabdo-Gate Could Have Been Avoided
So quite understandably, the DMR issued a FOIA request over rhabdo-gate. To that end, here are 137 e-mails released by the University of Iowa in regards to that request. It's a lot of reading, especially when the same e-mail shows up four or five times and so many of the e-mails are just different...
A Few Good Men
Yesterday, I wanted Phil Haddy fired. Yesterday, in the wake of a press conference which did not include the head coach, or anyone responsible for putting thirteen Iowa football players in the hospital, or any answers whatsoever from the people offered to the press and the public, I wanted to hit...
More Thoughts on Iowa and the Rhabdo Problem
I've written about Rhabdopalooza plenty over at the All-Seeing Eye, so here are some more thoughts on top of what's already been said. It's pretty obvious by now that Kirk Ferentz doesn't care about PR. I don't say that in a derogatory way at all, because we can all think of people in all walks of...
Ken O'Keefe Gets the Call
- Tuesday morning, immediately after the press conference, Gary Barta's office, Carver Hawkeye Arena - That went well. Yeah, I'd say so. I can't believe they still fall for your "I don't use the Twitter" shtick. I know, me either. So...wanna do something? I'd better go talk to Ken. About...
Bigger Rift: Ferentz/Barta & Iowa Fans, Or Perception & Reality?
Welp, today's Kirk Ferentz and Gary Barta press conference/evade-a-thon came and went, and while it might not have been satisfying to some (especially the rubbernecking types who really wanted things to get worse in order to validate their preconceptions), it was at least a way for Barta and...
Kirk Ferentz and Gary Barta Have A Meeting
Scene: The nicest office in the Jacobson Athletic Building. Or Carver, wherever. One man sits at his desk, facing the other in front of him, and neither appears to be happy. 7-5, Kirk. Yessir. 4th quarter collapses all over the place. Yessir. Lots of seniors on their way out. Yessir. We play...
Parker Executive Search Explains The Fran McCaffery Hire
Scene: a crowded media hall, where two familiar faces sit in front of a backdrop that looks like a blanket you'd receive as a promotional gift. Or just look at that picture up there. Flashbulbs pop and a full room of media faces buzzes with anticipation. Hello, everyone, welcome to the news...
THE DEFINITIVE IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
We know who Iowa's next coach is going to be. It's a familiar name, but a total surprise all the same. And we can prove it. And that's all you get before the jump. SO. Our FlightAware spies alerted us to this strange happening-- a single-prop plane registered to the State of Iowa, flying out of...
It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It Is Already Scratching Names Off The List
It begins. The first names have begun trickling in as potential replacements for Todd Lickliter here at Iowa. During the Play-In Game--the results of which we do not care one bit about--Doug Gottlieb began speculating about potential names for Iowa: Dayton's Brian Gregory, Siena's Fran McCaffery,...
The Press Conference Happened. So... Now What?
Gary Barta's press conference came and went, and the Todd Lickliter Era is no more. We already knew it was no more, but there's some merit to the formalities all the same. That's because Barta's presser was, for the most part, informative and helpful. This isn't going to be one giant slob job on...
