Is it any wondering why I continue reading this trash... 4 out of 6 rated b10 the worst with regards to this years recruiting class... Really? I understand we have jNWU and whiners in Champlain but the worst conference? The one redeeming quality (not that we needed reassured) was they they reaffirmed clown U. will always be the losers they are.... They listed Gene C. as having assembled a great staff. Something impossible at clown U. And that Auburn has assembled best recruiting class as 2nd year coach.... http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1045779

Q&A with Norm over at the Iowa Rivals site; here are a few of the highlights:

Q: You happy to have Adrian Clayborn back? Seems like he listened to your advice.

NORM: Yeah I am. Adrian is a lot like Pat. He is the same type of guy. I don’t know if he listened to me, but it is good that he is coming back.

Q: How are you feeling and how is your health?

NORM: I’m alright. I just have to get this foot better. Once I get the foot better, I can rehab. I have a couple of open sores on the bottom of my foot, so they have this cast on until the sores close and then I will be alright.

Q: Do you see a time when you will walk away from coaching or is this just what you love to do?

NORM: It is what I like to do. If I don’t think I can do it then I will be the first guy to walk away because it is not fair to the players and the other coaches.

...

Q: Pat called you a genius after the Orange Bowl.

NORM: Well he hasn’t talked to my wife. (laugh)
