A linguistics major would describe Kirk Ferentz as monotone. The 10-year head coach places emphasis on a word about as often as legendary Hawkeye announcer Bob Brooks misses an Iowa football game.
But in the basement of the Hayden Fry football complex after his Nov. 18 press conference, Ferentz morphed into Herm Edwards when he talked about Shonn Greene.
"If you look at the numbers, those are so impressive," said Ferentz, doing his best Scott van Pelt impersonation.

It's one of those things all coaches invariably say during the course of the season. Usually toward the end of the year, they talk about how much they've enjoyed coaching their players and how they'll remember this year for the rest of their lives.
Kirk Ferentz morphed into that stereotype at his weekly press conference on Tuesday. But, in this case, there's a distinct difference between Ferentz and others who have expressed the sentiment: This isn't the first time the 10-year head coach has praised his players without being asked by the media.

Let us take a closer look at the two players who were unjustly called second best.

I hear blaring horns, thundering percussion and feedback from a hot microphone.
