I am thinking about the same thing.

Regarding the “freedom of speech”, that’s why we both agreed there really is no such thing as freedom of speech. Anything you say can get you in trouble at some level. Thanks for listening Rob!

Really good job, guys! Here are a few comments on segment 1:

1. Playoff hockey is the greatest thing EVER! GO BLACKHAWKS
2.The Ozzie Guillen thing has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Of course Ozzie can say he likes Fidel Castro without violating any laws. He’s not being punished by any U.S. law. The Marlins are in the entertainment business and they are well within their rights to reprimand an employee for words/deeds that might piss off fans and cause less tickets to be sold.

Completely agree. I’ve backed off my twitter presence because it can be so consuming. It’s a great tool for marketing and information, but there is so much negativity, that it can start to engulf you and really change you. Sometimes, it’s best to just put it down, and reconnect with people face to face.

I think you’ve got Auburn a little too high.

Well said. Especially about how the Iowa coaches need to be more aggressive. Ferentz plays the percentages and it’s gotten him a BCS win and other bowl game wins, however, we lost to Ohio State because he sat on the clock and played for overtime and the same thing happened Saturday. Also, I think our zone coverage is absolutely horrible. They picked us apart over the middle all day until we went to man coverage. We need to blitz more, as well. I don’t see Ferentz changing his conservative play style, but he needs to. Iowa’s M.O. is losing games we shouldn’t be a small amount.

Good, rational assessment of the game. With Rhoads as coach for ISU, these are going to be even teams from now on. Get used to it. Rivalries are supposed to go back and forth and I think this will. ISU will go on to have a pretty good year but the Iowa game is not it’s super bowl. That is just “jock speak” for not giving ISU credit for great play, adjustments, conditioning, size, speed, etc. It was a hard fought and very even game that ISU had many chances to win before going into overtime. They deserved to come out on top this time.

Nice game recap and analysis.
