How does Morehouse even continue on the beat this season? These are open expressions of contempt for the subject you report on. GTFO immediately and go write homer pieces on Wisconsin like you've always wanted to.
"Kirk, two months ago I called you a phony who hired a PR firm to cover up your systemic racism. Can you give me some thoughts on the win today over Northern Iowa?"

It would seem he's pretty confident in what he says.

Looking to burn down Kirk. As others have said...if he was this confident all of this was happening the past 20 years why not say something?

I can’t figure out what he’s trying to say. Is he calling out the PR firm as a cover for racism and to make Kirk look like a grandpa figure all while supporting a system that degraded black athletes?

Wasn’t the PR firm hired after 2014 because of ‘That’s football’ and how Kirk was disappointed in himself with how he responded to questions from the media? Marc is claiming that was a cover?

Wtf?

All I know is that we have an entire thread about the sharpness and almost on the spectrum like memory that Kirk has. The controversy is going to go away, but Kirk isn't. He isn't going to forget each and every single one of these comments.

They are also admonishing Iowa and Ferentz being there so long as some embarrassing or negative thing now. How about all the beat writers?

Maybe the problem is that these guys have been covering Iowa for way too long and there isn't any new blood besides maybe some unpaid kid that Farty has working on his website and a couple recruiting guys.

Where are the hungry 20 something year old beat writers?

Quick update, I am actually hearing some pretty shocking odds that Kirk survives the independent investigation.

like 50/50. Like, actually 50/50. For real.

so maybe the writers feel like there will be no repercussions to be had.

Are you claiming that Kirk holds grudges?

They need to promote some black beat writers to connect with these kids.

Is this from the same guy who said Tyler Cook had a broken ankle and was out for the year about 2 hours before he started a Big Ten game?

Every former player has spoke highly of Kirk. This cancel culture is cool, until they come after somebody or something you like

If that were remotely true, then Harreld would not only need to fire Kirk, but also a majority of his staff and Barta as well. 2 months before the season and in the middle of a pandemic when money is an issue even for schools like Iowa.

Sure, Jan.

The beauty of this country and message board is that you can fucking ignore me if you want.

Maybe I’ve been living under a rock but I didn’t even know there was an independent investigation. Thought Kirk was doing one and Barta was doing a separate one.

I’ve also been told a full season is not happening. Nor are full stadiums.

If it means that dumb fucking Friday night game that Minnesota shanghai-ed us into gets cancelled, I'm all for it. Fuck Minnesota.
I took the day off work initially and was going to try getting tickets. I have since realized if the game is played it will be a few impossible to get tickets or an empty stadium. I have since rescinded the vacation day and will watch on TV if it happens.

It's kind of reminiscent of the early haydays of newspapers, where the writers would each come up with the most outlandish statements and claims in attempt to lure readers.

The difference is now we have internet at our disposal and can quite easily call them on their bullshit. I would highly encourage you all to join Jade's brigade and unleash hell on Howe, Morehouse, Licecow, phartys, brommelkamp, and any individual you determine being a limpdick Iowa media member.

If they are going with a conference only, no fan season, then it is the death of non-Power 5 programs and the NCAA affiliation as well likely.

LOL, "someone told me," is quite the scoop Teddy.

They're playing all 12 games.
