He’ll be fine…He’s got the same shitty haircut the last guy had and he did alright.

So is Alvarez basically seen as God in Wisconsin?

Just about, I think people who weren’t initially planning on attending the Rose Bowl this time around decided to just because he’ll be on the sideline

if barnett were on the nw sidelines, more cats fans would go to that bowl

seems like Barry just found a younger version of himself, will be curious to see if Andersen also has an affinity for booze and cheerleaders

Would be awesome if he’s also involved in a long term romantic liaison with a hobbit politician.

Alternatively: Iowa fans should be unhappy they’re paying their head coach 400k less than Urban Meyer. They’re Iowa.

hey, those pre-new years day bowl games don’t coach themselves

What’s an “Alabama style 3-4″ and how does it differ from other 3-4 defenses?

Players are paid more

That and I hate Pelini and want him fired (even though I have no faith in NEB being able to land anyone markedly better).

This. Exactly this.

Ferentz is untouchable because of that contract not because it’s his first losing season in twelve years. Easily the most ill advised contract in college sports.

True, but silver lining’s that Ferentz is about as safe as it gets

Iowa fans should be happy to be in a relevant conference. They’re Iowa

If I know Mark Richt it will be the latter.

I want to be able to say something…but I can’t.

is this serious? I’m sure Iowa fans are happy being on the lower tier of a conference currently going through a down cycle

Agreed that it’s a good hire, but home run is strong IMO. Chris Peterson would’ve been the home run. Urban Meyer was a home run. This is good, like Brady Hoke good.

So a ground rule double.

This was his first losing season in 12 years. At Iowa. I think he’s safe for now.

Depends on if UGA shows up pissed off that they’re not in the title game and ready to play, or one that shows up flat and disappointed with guys looking forward to the draft.

If I know Mark Richt it will be the latter.

HuskerDawg…as the preeminent Nebraska/Georgia fan on this site…how do you allegiances lie in the bowl game? Thoughts on the outcome?
/not sure if you have mentioned this…

Not a fan of the game. If UGA shows up they’ll roll (38-17ish), but I highly doubt they show up. Thinking 27-23 Georgia after they sleepwalk through the first half. As for allegiances, I want UGA to win because I want them to go out with a win after the SEC game ended the way it did. That and I hate Pelini and want him fired (even though I have no faith in NEB being able to land anyone markedly better).
