Is Ron Zook the best recruiter in college football?
So asks ESPN.
Is Ron Zook the worst game day coach in college football?
So asks me.
Take a penalty when it would have been 4th and 6, with an Iowa punt ensuing?
What a complete putz.
My buddy called me right after that. He's an Ill. alum and 8th grade football coach. Conversation went something like this;
Me: Hey, at the next FB luncheon, be sure to thank Zook for that extra down.
Him: WTF was he thinking? I'm a god damned 8th grade coach and I would have already had my punt return unit on the field.
Me: (laughing uncontrollably)
Him: Just another case of Zook getting on his knees for Ferentz again.
Me: Couldn't have said it better myself.
