However, I don't know what goes on in practice or if he is late to practice, etc. Ferentz has his reasons is all I know. Marc, in the photo above where Kirk is yelling 'think' to DJK, do you know what play that was or was it something that did not involve the ball or a missed route, something that we would not recognize? I don't recall an overt mistake by DJK in first half, do you?

A veritable clinic. Very few mistakes 1st half and whole game really. Worried about the heat/time zone next week, but feel a little better after today.

Thanks to Mike and Scott too. Your dedication is very apparent & appreciated.

I wonder if Kirk will be comfortable being in a subordinate role after having ran the show for so long. Both seem to be strong-willed men. I don't really anticipate any problems though.

I know he's a punter but I've seen video of him kicking off and he always puts it in the endzone. Just wondering if things don't turn around this year if he might be the answer.

Alabama, Nebraska etc. are hard tickets to come by in reg. season.

A little like Tom & Jerry. I'm glad Kirk is so even tempered and DJK knows roughly where the line is that he cannot cross or it would never work.

Good job getting the one on one. Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:25:25 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/03/25/video-bruce-pearl-calls-the-iowa-basketball-opening-a-very-attractive-job-a-great-job#IDComment64113274 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/on-iowa/2010/02/05/morris-more-than-ready#IDComment55766387 I'm happy to see we are getting more and more kids that are willing to put in the extra time in the weightroom, filmroom, etc. They see Iowa football as being all about dedication to improvement. They are not only willing to put in the extra hours during the season to get better, but see the off season as where they can make huge strides for the team. From the past, Tim Dwight fit this mold. Now I see Brandon Wegher, AJ Derby, James Morris and few others that are of this same type of mindset. It worked well for Tim Dwight as we all know. Whatever they lack in pure athleticism (and I'm not sure they lack anything) they equalize by the hard work they put in. I've often wondered about some of the top 50 or so recruits nationally that didn't pan out. If some of these heralded players spent as much extra time and energy working to improve, I'm curious how much of a household name they would have become. Jerry Rice also fits this mindset. It is notorious how hard he trained in the off season. Hopefully, with quite a few on the team now with this discipline, I'm optimistic it will be contagious.

You may have to break it down. Thanks for all you're hard work! Although a trip to Miami in January seems to be some reward. By the way, it is -8 degrees right now in CR.

I think as much money the NFL makes off of these kids and has for decades they could make the insurance a little more reasonable.
