    Ferentz had got to be the most overhyped coach of all time. What has he ever done to merit praise?

    had the visiting locker room painted pink? That is pretty cool right? If you are in high school maybe?

    Maybe he just likes pink. His teams play like it.

    Welp, Iowa kept it close for a while. Looks like that INT with 4:00 and change left will ice it for OSU.

    In Ferentz's defense (and gosh knows I'm not a Hawkeye fan even though I live in Iowa) he did have a few very quality years where Iowa was a top 10-15 team, playing in BCS and/or Cap One type bowls, etc... but Iowa did the kneejerk reaction of offering him a very long-term contract at a high salary when he was rumored to be a top choice of some pro teams. Iowa fans will tell you they aren't getting their money's worth these days - breaking down per win, he is averaging probably a 500k+ per win - not a bad gig for him! His contract is too long and for too much money to get rid of him but I do think his days are numbered... The pink locker room is a holdover from the Hayden Fry days - he thought it would make the opponent less hyped to be around that color.

    Perhaps he got a lot of credit for beating Saban in the Capital One.

    Way too much credit and let me tell you, that is a moment they still hang their hats on - shows what the last number of years have been like for their fans!!

    But for a hail mary pass on the last play. As I recall, offensive PI should have been called on two Iowa players.

    I gave up trying to reason with their fans about that long ago; it's like trying to reason with a Bama fan about their favorable calls - it's exhausting and you get nowhere!! :D
