Seriously @CyHawk

Not a single person on this board will deny that past coaches did some shady things but it wasn't just one player that has called Iowa's racism out and it was significant enough that it cost at least one coach his position. It is a tarnish and deservedly so but one the University will undoubtedly rise above. Still to diminish and deny is a discredit to the efforts that University is and has taken to avoid the issue going forward.

edit: also, let me add, more often than not those in denial are so because they themselves are guilty. There's zero place in this world for "any" type of racism yet all too often it exists and though I hate to admit it, the midwest seems to be becoming a brewing ground for severe prejudices be it of religious, ethnic or gender identity. Disgusting to say the least.

I can't stand the Chicken Hawks, but could we please keep the football topics on the football board, and the politics in the politics board.  I don't come to Huskerboard to read about people's stances on "racism".

 
I am glad that Rhule is essentially modeling his offense off of what Michigan does.  I just wish he had a track record of being good at it or having a buddy who is good at it.

 
Sellout streak? Every kick/punt shows the top level of the stadium half full at best. Yea, technically the tickets were probably sold to some rich alumni, but when will the sellout farce stop?

Well, actually they were. And Iowa paid a settlement because of their racism.

That article does not say that “Iowa paid a settlement because of their racism”. You ought to go to work at CNN! The article says that the lawsuit was settled. It does not continue to say that the coaching staff was against settling.

Yes, indeed, there were some dress codes. That same dress code did not allow redneck farmers to wear baseball caps. Nebraska lost any standards back in the Lawrence Philips days!

I fail to see how that's political.

Who cares what you want? Iowa's racism is a matter of public record. Their football team had to fire a coach over it. It's relevant in this forum. Period.
