The Circus that is Iowa City

Are you guys following the latest chapter of the off-season circus in Iowa City? Apparently, having a handful of transfers and a drug-house arrest wasn't enough for this off-season in Hogeye land.

The latest act in this circus involves 13 guys getting violently ill and being hospitalized with a rare condition that is caused by working out too hard, in layman's terms. Apparently, these guys were admitted to the hospital with severe body pain, tea colored urine, and the potential for serious damage being done to their kidneys and livers.

That sounds fun. Every crazy ass Hogeye fan already has psycho-strength coach-I want to fight everyone type tendencies already, can you imagine how ridiculous and intolerable their actual strength coaches must be? And apparently, they are so good at their job that they nearly kill some of their kids in trying to get them prepped for a season that doesn't start for 8 MONTHS! Asinine, isn't it?

The best part is how they are becoming the Vikings of the NCAA with all of the bizarre drama that is coming from the program this season. They are getting destroyed nationally for their horrible presser they held to speak about the latest "incidents" around the drug house and testing, and now they are getting hammered again with these hospital visits and very serious situations surrounding 13 of their players. The presser didn't include the Cap'n, as he's out in barns and crackhouses across the country recruiting the next great Hogeyes. My questions is this, if you're a parent of one of these 13 sick kids, and your beloved Cap'n knows about this serious situation for 3 days without flying home to check on their status and reassure the family...how does that make you feel? Ferentz, AD Barta, and the strength coaches were all being ripped mercilessly for their lack of information and participation in the presser on Tuesday.

Clearly a bad situation...unless you hate Iowa...and WHO HATES IOWA???

WE HATE IOWA!!

Keep up the good work, we still have so much time before the season I'm hoping for at least 3-4 more great stories from Iowa City before the 2011 season.
