In his son's defense, what else is there to do in Iowa after the corn harvest?

Good for you Dad....Coach.

Outside of drinking, they all get cornholed!

But good for him for suspending his son. On the flip side, Ferentz has some serious problems with his players getting into trouble. It's not good that one of those players is his son. The Iowa program is rotting from the inside out.

Being the coaches son, the kid should have known to keep this type of activity carefully concealed. That being said, unless he's driving around drunk, or getting into drunken brawls, this just isn't that serious. The coach had to take some type of action or he'd be crucified in the press, but unless there's more to this, his son doesn't sound like a bad kid... just a kid.

Agreed, you can't have your kid stab you in the back. If he was at a party I see no big deal, unless as you stated he was involved in some altercation that required police attention.

Now THIS is a father. Yeatman Sr. needs to learn from this guy. Yeah, the fact that he's the coach and there has been some scrutiny in terms of player conduct already might have forced his hand more than the desire to make sure his kids lives and learns. But still, compared to "Who cares if it was illegal, he wasn't REALLY drunk or anything " Yeatman, it is a positive action.

I agree, as an Irish fan I applauded Charlie for not only holding Yeatman out til the case was resolved, but for dismissing him from the team. And for Yeatman's father to say what he did was stunning. How about a little personal responsibility. This kid is not Irish material. Kudo's to Coach Ferentz for making the same decision.

That's nothing comparred to what you **** do in NYC. Been to your city- Clean it up before you talk about someone else.

New York, California and ND punks....no one in Iowa gives a rat's *** about what you think of Iowa. We will just keep enjoying the best education, lowest crime rates and best cost of living in the US...I don't know about you but it sure is nice looking out my back window at my nice large yard, smelling smog free air and seeing the beautiful night sky, in my nice 2500 sq ft house, all for 190K, wonder what you got in that craphole NY and Cali area for that...250 sq ft studio...awesome....

We could stop sending you all of our great tasting beef, pork and corn if you do not like it too...
