Anybody know more detail on why it appears there is an ISU reference on the corner of this picture? Seems weird to me.... Another example of living rent free?

Keith isn't really a hard hitter. He can kick ass on a feel good story but he's not a guy for rocking boats.
So what you think is that KF has just allowed a little bit of racism and not full racism? Maybe they were just racist on Monday, Wednesday and Friday?
Exactly how do you 'overplay' the racism hand?
And what IS the 'true cause'?
I mentioned it yesterday but it took Murph YEARS to get Kirk on their show semi regularly. He actually used to be fairly tough on Kirk but since he has been making appearances on their show that has definitely scaled way back. To a certain degree I get why the media tip toes around it because they want to maintain the relationship if Kirk is still around.
Well said. But it does say something - for him and many others - that he was more angry about Carson King being slighted than by this U of I story, which is orders of magnitude larger.
I know I'm late here, but the Hawkeye Nation owner's interview with the KXNO guys on Tuesday was laugh out loud terrible. Beyond me on why you would agree to that interview if you're going to bumble and fumble your way to say 'We just don't want to report anything controversial, even if it's true, so that the athletic department likes us.' Boy was it cringeworthy to hear him try and discuss journalistic integrity for 20 minutes.
Interview on KFAB radio just now with Ross Peterson. He stated that Doyle simply is who he is...not racist. Additionally, he believes that this will be the last season for Kirk, that he will retire after this season...and no, Brian will not be the next head coach. He did not state that Doyle needs to be fired...again, only that Doyle is simply misunderstood. Sports talking heads here in Omaha do think that Kirk is in some trouble, but none are calling for his head.
DSM radio personalities are going to defend these people harder than Penn St fans defended JoePa...
He'll never believe it. It's bizarre. You could put him the DeLorean, drive him to that exact moment in time, he'd see it, and instead understanding it his brain would explode.
Interesting - that account differs from the one Marvin McNutt told. Don Nordmann, Dace Richardson, and several other of DJK’s former teammates have also said that’s not true. You calling Marvin McNutt a liar?
Howe's HN article has decent collection of the tweets compiled. I'm sure some one could transcribe Akrum Wadley's comments directly from his mother's FB video... Then of course there is the DJK story that was taken down which someone in this thread had saved in PDF.

Ah yes, if you are inherently a racist it is okay. It is those damn disingenuous racists you need to watch out for!
You calling Amari Spivey a liar? I think the point is that there is not a simple set of facts that absolve the coaches of any wrong doing as you would suggest... there are multiple people speaking up supporting DJK's account and multiple contradicting it. The truth may be in the middle and regardless it would be classified as bullying and demeaning behavior by coaches.
That is such coded language....i get it "but look at the results (NFL, etc)".
The thing is....we ALL have work to do in these areas.
I saw the example of him mocking black players...at least come out and say "I was trying to connect but realize that was a d*ck way of doing it"...but nope....just "he's misunderstood".
Also, wait till we wear black uniforms this year....and Hoks somehow try to spin us as being insensitive, etc.
