BLOODPUNCH'D. You have to tip your hat to Gary Barta: If you take out the Taxslayer Bowl, he's had a heck of a 2015. His two basketball programs each won a game in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2001. His baseball hire has turned the program into a Big Ten contender in just two years and made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 25 years. Wrestling had a good season, if a disappointing postseason. And, despite howling protests from people like, well, me, he kept Kirk Ferentz and now has a potential playoff contender damn near selling out Kinnick Stadium.
IT'S NOT PLAGIARISM IF YOU LINK TO IT ISN'T GLOATING AT ALL
