Wasting a Saturday Watching the Hawkeyes

I'm neither a graduate of the University of Iowa nor a native resident. Yet, judging from the effort of most of the Iowa football players today I brought more passion and excitement for the game than they did.

Coach Ferentz, um, is there some reason I'm more excited about Iowa's homecoming game than your team, most of them anyway, appeared to be today?

Could you let us know when your players can play with a bit more emotion than those watching the game?  I'm happy to return watching your team when your players get more pissed off at a missed tackle than I do.  Until then...I know I can find better ways to spend a Saturday than watching players who look like they had something else on their schedule today or last night, maybe.
