Hell yes. HOA's are the worst.
Yep and I don't get why state his salary.. if Kirk didn't want the repair he shouldn't have to pay for it..
And the article said the Ferentzes' have been described as "privacy-obsessed" in the trial. Hmmm, I wonder why they would be that way.
Said that KF expects Kallenberger not to compete for a starting job this fall, needs to develop physically. I think it may have been a typo though, not sure.
Sounds like an irritating scenario. You move out into the county - wanting to be "left alone." Then, you have neighbors who go to bed with developers ... and then, all of a sudden, they developers are encroaching on your privacy and trying to leverage things to make you sound like the bad guy.
The article is odd because it's trying to suggest that the issue deals with the Ferentzes versus their neighbors ... but the real underlying issue has to deal with the Ferentzes having to deal battling the developers.
What is amusing is that the "good neighbors" just wanted the kids to be safe for riding their bikes ... but they also wanted the Ferentzes to pay for the "safety" of their kids. Sounds like a bogus argument. A lot of what is going on there sounds like some classic cases of coercion.

Why is this still a big deal? It's simple: They signed and KF granted them their wish of breaking the news themselves, in February. If they didn't sign, I'm pretty sure KF would be actively recruiting DB's right now, and that's not the case.
It's not a big deal other than he was asked about it at the conf today and someone tweeted about it. Thus it went into the thread "today on twitter". FWIW I think your 100% correct.
Sorry, that wasn't necessarily directed towards you, but the media member that asked.
No worries man, I didn't mean that to be anywhere near as confrontational as it sounds when I reread it. It's been slow at the office the last 2 days so I have tried to out every nugget of info I can find on here. (Let's both cross our fingers that it remains no big deal up until the ink dries eh)
Very weird take on things. Perhaps you know more than what it appears but it seems like you're demonizing the neighbors without knowing any of them personally (did you know, for instance, that one of them and is an upstanding, highly professional, important cancer specialist at University Hospitals?). Look, I'm not taking sides here as I have no stake in things. However, one could just as easily say that because Ferentz and family are "celebrities" doesn't mean they own the neighborhood or deserve special treatment because of who they are. In fact, the insular attitude they seem to be showing seems consistent with the way Coach Ferentz runs his program, hiring a family member to a key position, for instance. He has tried to place other family members on the payroll as well. Rest assured, this is something that wouldn't be allowed in many places of employment. Bottom line: There are two sides to every story.
Well, we found the neighbor.
If you read the article ... the side they were painting was more on the side of the neighbors. You're saying that there is two sides to every story ... but you're not even allowing for any validity to the Ferentz's side of the story.
As for your remark about Ferentz having an insular attitude ... do you remember part of the reason why George Raveling left Iowa? The University of Iowa has a great campus ... the academic environment is great ... the fan support is great ... but it is also has almost all the trappings of a terrible fishbowl too. When Kirk and his family are out ... you can imagine that they likely expect that people will be up in their business. However, I think that it makes sense that a person who lives most of their life in a fishbowl really might like some privacy too.
