Happy Birthday Coach and One Week from Kick off of the NFL preseason


Today, August 1, 2010 is Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz's birthday. The Hawkeye coach, who is entering his 12Th season as head coach, turns 55 today.

The NFL kicks off the preseason in seven days. The Hall of Fame Game from Canton, Ohio will kickoff at 7 pm CT on NBC on August 8Th.

Look for 'If the Stars Align' to hit area Hy-Vees this week. The Gazette is offering an Iowa football season preview magazine this season. Hy-Vee stores and drug stores will carry it for $3.95.

Of course, only ten FBS schools have ever won a BCS title. Nebraska's success under Osborne came before the BCS Championships kicked off during the 1998 season.

For the University of Iowa football program, the Hawkeyes have noticed their own trend in the Big Ten Conference. Over the past five seasons, one team is always on top, though they have shared two titles:

  • The Ohio State Buckeyes - going for their sixth straight Big Ten title in '10
