Fight, Fight, Fight for Iowa

As a casual fan of football and sports in general, I went to the Iowa Hawkeyes v. Northwestern Panthers game today. Good God, what a depressing game. 

The hawks led for quite some time before blowing it, giving up three straight touchdowns to Northwestern and losing 22-17. :P Hopefully it'll get better as the season goes on, but I'm kind of mad that my tuition goes to pay Kirk Ferentz's salary (he's the second-highest paid coach in the Big Ten, behind only BCS Championship-winning Ohio State coach Jim Tressel). It's really a shame that he is so highly paid, considering he can't get his team to a bowl game as of recently... 

I might do some more research to figure out why Iowa is still so reluctant to fire a guy who runs a football team of drunkies and thieves (among other things) that couldn't get to a January bowl game if their life depended on it.

Oh well, though. C'est la vie, I guess.

SHAMELESS PLUG: Watch UITV tomorrow starting at 8pm to see the 2008 season premiere of SVP (Student Video Productions). A lot of my friends and I have been involved with this, so if you live in Iowa City, sit on your ass and watch some TV tomorrow night.

much respect
