Thought you might enjoy Ferentz thoughts on Frost from his press conference. My own opinion is too bad the fan base for each team cannot talk more football instead of bashing each team.

Hope for a great game Friday, and no injuries. Frost has you heading in the right direction and only time will tell how far.

Q. Did you get to know Scott at all when he was at UNI just briefly?

KIRK FERENTZ: Yeah, we'd see each other at clinics and stuff like that, and I've got great respect for him, obviously, as a person first and foremost, and then what his career was all about and now you look at what he's done as a coach, he's just had a phenomenal run. Same thing, he's earned it. He's worked hard. There probably aren't a lot of guys who would be willing to leave pro football and take a job maybe at a, quote-unquote, lower level school. Most guys want to start on third base and move over to the batter's box. But he's paid his dues, and he's done a great, great job. Unless they could have gotten Dr. Osborn to come back and do it again, I don't know what would have made more sense to really embrace what Nebraska is all about.

Thanks for the post and sorry for the stupid and juvenile comment and the others that are probably sure to come. :(

He better say something nice or Scott might run up the score!!!

I am kidding because it was a nice statement which shows respect for the opposing coach.

I still can wish/dream for this...right?!! Winking

Nice statement, Ferentz is a classy dude. Hopefully we can get Iowa this year and start making it a more of a rivalry.

Good lord....grow-up you giant baby.

I do not understand these people, who in the same breathe, will complain that all Iowa fans do is talk crap when they come on our board, but then treat Iowa fans like garbage who come over here to share something positive. Why would Iowa fan say something nice if they are going to be treated with the same response as those who talk trash?

I'd love to say it won't impact our offense at all, but the truth is it will probably end-up having a big impact on our ability to pass the football effectively downfield. Our running game has been very good the second half of this season, so I'm hoping that if we do become somewhat one-dimensional that we can still be productive (and score) while on offense.

Iowa's TE's on play-action is what scares me the most about this game...

You need to grow-up, period. Get some perspective and try to understand how poorly you come across to others.

I dunno. Going to a lower level school and proving yourself is the best way to find a good CFB head coach. The Urban Meyer approach. You get a winner. Bigtime...not some 7 win a year hack like Ferentz.

I think Kirk is in Iowa City and thinks his own **** doesn't stink and everybody around him thinks his **** doesn't stink so he says dumb ****.

Thanks for sharing. But who in Iowa athletics communications department chose to misspell the last name of one of the greatest coaches in history? I have always thought Fairuntz and Frye good coaches, though not at the level of Eversovski or Comings.

I don't hate the Hawkeys either. Oh, it's fun to tease the Hogeyes Laughing.....but really I admire their defense and appreciate their smash-mouth style of play. They never have anything close to outstanding recruiting but most usually can play well vs anybody (the star-gazers hate them for that).

I just love the Big10......I miss the BigXII like another hole in my head.

From what I've seen, Ferentz is a classy guy. Donates a $1m to the kids hospital, program appears clean. On the other hand, the majority of iowa fans we see on here are knuckleheads. I don't personally know any iowa fans, I wouldn't know that they existed without their blather on here.

One could argue about the way he schemes, game plans, recruits, etc. It's a great example of "good is the enemy of great", kind of like the Pellini 9-wins and the complacency that comes with being comfortable. So to me, a professional response from Ferentz and no reason to get worked up.

Colorado picked us to be a rival. Not because we shared a border, but because we were the best. Maybe the old guard B1G fans try to make everything into rivalries with the little jugs and horace the hog trophies. That's not us, "us" being NU fans. IMO, if you're a NU fan on the iowa board, time to get off of it (imo).

Thanks for sharing. I met Ferentz a few years ago and he seems like a good guy.
