A beatable Big Ten opponent, a nice crowd and no school to worry about this time of year- how does this happen? I would think the team would hold everyone accountable on being ready to play and compete. I know Rodney Hall in the call of the game expressed the same concern, although he did it in a very diplomatic manner. He has been in the huddle before and I think he is flabbergasted by the lack of urgency by the team. Frustrating to say the least- it has been a tough week.

With Monty as coach and this team, Iowa was not "a beatable Big Ten opponent." While I like Rodney Davis, there's an irony about him calling out a sense of urgency when he lacked that trait academically and was ineligible one season.
