Firentz jerk press conference statement
- Thread starter SBP
- Start date
Some of our fans are desperate for respect and attention and some of our fans overestimate Schiano's achievements, and so get a rude wakeup call when they meet the reality that the rest of college football is not impressed by narrow wins over weak opponents. Whip a team's butt and you'll get all the respect you want, for your team and your stadium. Until then don't expect people to fawn over you. Simple as that.
He was definitely referring to the small visitor locker room. Relax. Iowa paints theirs pink. South Carolina had no AC in theirs so Georgia bought huge AC trucks and boarded up the door and cut holes in the wood pumping in big tubes of cold air, was on college gameday. This is actually something we do right, knowing RU athletic department wouldn’t have been surprised if the visitor locker room had crystal chandeliers and caviar
Would not read too much into Ferentz’s comment at the post game presser. We really are still in our B1G infancy versus what a school like Iowa , Michigan , Wisconsin , OHS have done over the years. It’s not about jealousy , envy from Rutgers fans it’s the disappointment that our offense gave away several unnecessary scoring opportunities. That cost us dearly. Rutgers has many great fans. When a certain fan or fans criticize them because they don’t agree with their fan perspective or positivity or the belief in our current coach they should find a hole to crawl into. Perhaps they should take their desired movement elsewhere ? I did not take Ferentz’s referrernce as a knock. Coaches like players say some dumb things .
The pink is there, but the space is pretty nice in comparison to most B1G stadiums.
I don't know if we're the most sensitive, but for sure we have more than our fair share of oversensitive fans.
In today’s world especially in college pink walls are most likely in vogue for the new improved college educated athletes.
You're choosing to interpret the statement a certain way so as to cast it in a negative light. Without any consideration that you may be misinterpreting the statement and the man who made it.
That's what's toxic. You can't possibly know what was in the guy's head when he made the statement. But you're certain you do know and that it was bad.
I'm guessing I'm wasting my time here, but you asked what was toxic.
People who watch opponent press conferences and then get mad about what they say about us are 100% insane
Probably just supporting breast cancer research.
I mean, if it's the players, and if the opposing coaches or players are going out of their way to say obviously nasty stuff, then okay. But for fans? A little nutty, I agree.
I mean that never happens though. It’s always someone posting on here like “wow this ******* is only talking about his own team and not giving us any credit” or whatever. Who cares?
I like pink walls. Preferably close together.
I know you don’t mean me, but if I was a Karen, I’d totally be a lesbian. I’m just saying.
It's been very cozy for visiting Big Ten teams. Remember, they've been going home happy for 5 years.
Geez, that's it? I thought cozy was a good thing, or you guys think he used it sarcastically, right?
Ever think that sometime people say things at the spur of the moment and not really mean anything? Not everything that I say is calculated and filled with meaning or intent. I'm not pre-screening every phrase that pops into my head for how someone may interpret it. Sure, there are some things I wish I could un-say, but that just goes to show that not everything means how you interpret it.
And what if he's right. Iowa's in the BIG Ten forever, they've had time and money to expand their press room, visiting locker rooms, area hotels, and on and on.
Gosh we're sensitive after a loss.
Did he say you look fat in that dress?
I think this is most likely.
the stadium is on top of the field…and when in NJ, everything is just a little cozy- as in, right on top of you.
Doesn’t every team stick the visitors in the least comfortable spot? I always thought of it like where companies stick their auditors when they are onsite. Our auditors used to joke about it all the time - good natured. The comment described sounds similar. I don’t interpret it as a dig.

Don't you guys have the PINK visitors locker room?
yeah.. that was a DOUCHE comment from "a guy who is not like that".. but has the VISITORS LOCKER ROOM IN PINK
could be a completely innocent comment.. probably was.. but is still something that COULD have been an ungracious slight... and after we gifted him 14 points.
Irony of saying his statement "could" have been an ungracious slight followed by "we gifted him 14 points" is a little amusing.
Image the reaction around here if Temple fans saying they "gifted us the win" with our own pick-6.
Can’t be too uncomfortable. The Visiting B1G teams have won 20 straight games at Shi Stadium.
Unfortunately the administration is not listening to you
The statement is true in both cases.. Iowa and Temple games. Truth is always a defense where the intentions of a comment are evaluated.
Is a "give-away" a "gift"? I think the answer is yes. I suspect our head coach would agree.
The ability to analyze a vague statement and then discern the absolute intent/meaning of said statement is an absolutely amazing attribute. Well done OP and those who are positive of what KF was potentially implying.
I would agree with the Temple fans
How could you not?
The pink locker rooms became a thing in 1979 when Hayden Fry came to Iowa and he didn't have them painted pink to disrespect-- he did it because as a Psychology major in college he remembered the color pink dulls the senses of people-- that's why he did it- looked for every advantage he could find to make Iowa a winner after 17 consecutive losing seasons.
Ferentz succeeded Fry after he retired and left them pink as a tribute to Hayden.
Now you can say you learned something new today.

Without those cornfields your sorry *** starves to death.
Clown, read where I posted why the locker rooms are pink and who was the one who originally had them painted pink.
He made a kidding remark about you visiting locker room size. This really upsets you this bad?
