Firentz jerk press conference statement

[SBP]

Starts the the presser “cozy in here… like everything else around here I guess”.
Obvioiusly a knock on our facilities and program. No need for that sh!t.
Douche. I hope they lose out.

Was he perhaps being sarcastic and actually acknowledged that it was a difficult environment?

 

[Plum Street]

Probably meant it as a dig on the lockerooms and stadium size

 

[letitrip2]

I never liked the guy.

 

[hawkit3113]

Relax gents, that is not his style.

Clearly it is. Dude can **** off to the cornfields

So you think he slammed your stadium after the game?

Have you ever been to ours?

 

[letitrip2]

And if he was referring to stadium size he is also stupid - Kinnick is about 16000 larger then SHI. Can you imagine how "cozy" Harburgh thinks Kinnick is?

Exactly. It wasnt a slam.

No desire

 

[hawkit3113]

No desire

I don't blame you.

 

[hawkit3113]

Watching the Final Drive now and I quote KF, "we walked into a tough environment against a team that has really improved"

Sour grapes guys.

If you think you can just roll in and start competing with programs that have been investing in football for the last 40 years, you need to be realistic.

Just keep plugging away. You will get there.

Who knows where they put the visiting coach for the end of game press conference. It could be a tiny room. For basketball games, I think the Michigan coach was in a hallway outside the locker room.

That is what I am thinking. The Press room could have been packed with reporters and the room could have been smaller

He is talking about his own team and their struggles this year, especially on offense.

QB Spencer Petras and the Iowa offensive line, in particular, is what Kirk Ferentz is talking about.

That doesn't make alot if sense.

This.
I was in the Stadium early and saw Greg and Firentz together at the 50 yard line during the warmups having a long conversation…. At least 10 minutes. Both laughing and engaging conversation.
No way he was digging at RU facilities after the game.

They are friends. And so are our basketball coaches. It's so not our style as an AD or fan base to be like that.

It really wouldn't go over well in Iowa to have coaches like that.

Thanks for the input Hawk. Probably is sour grapes. Some like to read between the lines and nitpick on every word they deem to be negative only to ignore the positives that were actually said (which is what you pointed out). Welcome to our Rutgers board.

We have the most sensitive fans I swear

Yes.
I was at your Stadium for the 2019 game and the Iowa program and it’s fans are 1st class and a role model for the B1G.

I hear ya. And thanks. I think its hard to get a feel when we have only played three times.

Now, I love our basketball games. A nice rivalry is forming. And the RAC is so bad ass.

 

[SBP]

Well, it was snide, and flippant .. “like everything else here”? Really? Screw you. Not very classy and uncalled for. You can gladhand the coach all you want just don’t dig at other peoples house. Imagine if Greg was in Iowa and said something like that? Just picture it. Right… he wouldn’t.

 

[hawkit3113]

Awesome to hear. It honestly matters how we represent our school and state.

At the end of the day, win or lose, tailgating on a beautiful fall day is what it's about.

Winning is nice too though

No he wouldn't. Caught him on the radio before the game and he spoke very highly of us and Kirk.

KF is super ackward with the press. It's hard to explain.

This. The visitors dress in a lacrosse locker room. Good. I don't want them to be comfortable. If it were up to me their locker room would be in a parking lot.

Meanwhile Iowa paints the visitors locker room pink. God some of you are idiots.

Lmfao, I would have them dress in the parking lot.

I like your style.

You have issues.

 

[SBP]

You have issues.

No I don’t, actually. Just pride in my team and I think it was a dumb thing to say. Period.

 

[RUtix4me]

Have any of you ever seen the visitors locker-room at Fenway? I am sure Jail cells are probably nicer. Having things cozy for a visitor is nothing to feel ashamed about. If he said that about the locker room, then good for us.

I see it a bit different

Just a few errors made, was all the difference
As far as competing yesterday, those errors were the difference in an otherwise evenly played game
Yes, the better team usually makes fewer

Thought the talent level was very good for RU.

The refs let us tee off on your QB and that made a difference in his throws.

That fumble was a killer.

We teed off on the Boston College qb
without penalties called which I am sure affected him mentally in the passing game

Part of the game if you can do it

and the fumble was a killer, we have not seen that happen to us in such a manner, after a good gain
Credit to the defender

I watched some games yesterday where those were penalties.

You watch, in a game we need, we will get called for them.

 

[RU Cheese]

Would've preferred if he said "we were comfortable defensively because we knew exactly what that HS offense was going to do." At least that's might cause the team / fans to be a bit more introspective.

 

[raven12]

Jesus these forums are toxic and just go to show how sensitive some of you are.

Why is pointing out a statement toxic? It was a knock, pure and simple. It’s a message board. Don’t shoot the messenger

Such refreshing impartiality, thanks for that! It speaks to your character. So many fans think their team never, ever does wrong and every play they get screwed on, blah, blah, blah. It‘s so boring, and dare I say…cult-like.

Note, You won’t see much of that from RU fans, most of us are kind of like Wheezer above.

 

[RuSnp]

QB Spencer Petras and the Iowa offensive line, in particular, is what Kirk Ferentz is talking about.

I could care less if KF thinks our stadium is the sistine chapel but your explanation makes my brain hurt.

 

[Knight Shift]

Relax gents, that is not his style.

Some of us get a little salty after a loss.
