These are rough quotes and notes from Kirk Ferentz during his press conference in Iowa City this afternoon.

Iowa SID
Right now, we've sold just over 60,000 tickets for the game Saturday, so plenty still remain.
Will have a teleconference with ANF honoree Robert Gallery tomorrow. On Friday, Robert will be here in the ANF Plaza for interviews and video. Also, former basketball coach Lute Olson will be in town and available on Friday afternoon.
Kirk Ferentz Opening Statement
Welcome everybody.
Certainly very pleased with last weekend's game. Not only with the win, but with how we fought through some tough situations and bumps along the way. Our team has looked at this as a season of opportunity and certainly our next opponent is a tough challenge.
Captains are Lomax, Ott, Beathard, and Blythe
Really thrilled to have Robert Gallery back as ANF honoree. Last time he was here as honorary captain he had his daughter with him and now will have a son with him as well.
On injury front, Drew Ott and LeShun Daniels rehabbing right now. Have not practiced yet. Too early to make any predictions. Making progress.
Talk about Derrick Mitchell. When we arrived in Ames on Friday, we were made aware of a letter that came from the University that afternoon. At that point, not too interested in investigating, so we sent Derrick home. Now, had a chance to talk to Derrick about the situation, and he's back with the football team as of this morning. We'll move forward from there.
