Not a Bielema fan, although I love his fake punts.
His antics off the field weren’t acceptable in Madison and I don’t think they’d be tolerated in Iowa City either.
I don't think he's the same guy at this point in life. He's married with young kids now and we'll into his 50s. People mature.
Maybe. Some times those people get married, have kids and are still the same person doing the same thing.
It’s cute you think I’m a Nebraska fan. I’ve been following Iowa for over thirty years and I’ve been to like 10 bowls and countless games, even though I live > thousand miles from Iowa City. My favorite part of the Ferentz dynasty is how all the Iowa bumpkins rush to his defense and gas light anyone who is critical or honest about the man.
What off the field antics? You have no idea what you are talking about. He isn't the same man he was 10-15 years ago.
Big Ten > Big Twelve
Cmon. Most of "the money" isn't going to the head coach. He still makes 5 million with a much better shot of being in the playoff. So your saying actually having a shot at the title holds NO prestige? How many B1G teams actually have a shot? In the next five years (by which this whole mess will probably change again) who has a better shot Campbell and Kleinman or whoever is coaching at Iowa?
I know the $ is not going to the coach. My point was that the Big Ten is more prestigious than B12. That’s important to some but not all.
I've never said that the B1G is not the more prestigious conference. Just that I can see reasons why guys, (especially almost 60 year old coaches) would stay in the little 12 with a MUCH better shot at the brass ring when they're already making 5 or 6 million $ a year.
Anyone remember the Iowa over ISU win where he--as a player-went up to the losing coach and dissed him? Of course; we'd like to do that but it did cause a stir.
