“Many have Iowa ties, but not everyone. My preference is someone with Iowa ties and roots.”
Bob Bowlsby
“You've got to give Iowa a lot of credit, being down and not quitting. I knew they wouldn't quit.”
Jeff Judkins
“With all my Iowa ties, I do my best to watch the game indifferently. But you have to be happy for Dan. He's been building that program and that sure is a big step for them.”
Bob Stoops
“Iowa has not been immune to the quail decline that has occurred across the entire bobwhite range, but we are aggressively working to turn that slide around. Mid-contract management of CRP lands, enrollment of CP-33 acres, conversion of brome grasses to native plants and additional focus on brushy edge cover will all help.”
Todd Bogenschutz

Roy Ellis
“It's not like you can pay him $5 or $6 million (at Iowa). It's a case of, either he wants to do it - or he doesn't want to do it.”
Chris Mortensen
“I don't know if there is a real clear-cut favorite. We're not the favorite, Iowa City West is and Lewis Central is. I think there are four or five teams that, if they have a great weekend, can win.”
