James Franklin Press Conference: at Iowa

Turn it on, turn it up, and turn (yourself) loose. Coach James Franklin, backed by 150 decibels of Red Army Choir, marched to the podium as Field Marshall Georgy Zhukov. He barked a few curt orders in Russian, but remained self controlled. Let’s all thank SID Kris Petersen for talking James out of Nikita Khrushchev.

HEAD COACH JAMES FRANKLIN: I would like to open up with a statement. Something that I was thinking about laying in my bed last night that I put together that I wanted to put out there.

The football that I know and love brings people together, and embraces differences.
