Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz takes subtle jab at B1G rivalry and its altercation
Published:
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz likes himself a good rivalry.
He considers Iowa-Wisconsin to be one of those. The two teams are both quality football programs that play the game the right way. At least, that’s how Ferentz sees it.
During his radio show on Wednesday, Ferentz talked not just about Iowa-Wisconsin, but about another rivalry in the B1G that doesn’t do things the right way.
Hint: He’s talking about Michigan-Michigan State and the altercation that took place before the game started this past weekend.
On his radio show, Kirk Ferentz unprompted talked about how Iowa & Wisconsin have a great rivalry but never have had any pregame altercations. Without mentioning specific teams (cough, Michigan-MSU), KF said, "I don't think it looks good for our conference. I think it looks bad."

Ferentz thinks it’s a bad look for the conference to get in fights and have coaches go back-and-forth.
The altercation that took place before Michigan-Michigan State led to Michigan State University being fined $10,000.
That’s not a good look.
