Video (and sound) Sessions: Lunch with the Hawkeyes

Thanks to the nice people at the Coralville Outback. The Iowa media kept the front part of the place very crowded and let a lot of the heat out.

Everyone was very friendly and understanding. Thanks again.

And, yes, I got lunch and, yes, it was really good.

The video didn't make it that far, but the audio will have Kirk Ferentz saying everyone is eligible and going to the bowl (with the "as far as he knows" caveat). Good give-and-take on the Capital One Bowl finish also on the audio (about 7 minutes in).

Between the video and audio, you'll hear Iowa's offensive coordinator discuss the importance of WR coach Bobby Kennedy's arrival, yards after the catch and explosive plays.

Between the video and audio, you'll hear why Iowa's defensive coordinator felt like he could blitz more this year. Also, Parker had a position to coach and was down on the field. That helped him find a rhythm at DC.

Rudock's knee seems OK. He thought he had a strong final in organic chemistry. (He showed a great sense of humor with that all season. Much appreciated. Physics II is up next.)

Here's some more audio:
