Part of me could have stayed at Northern Iowa forever and sailed off into the sunset. But the competitive side of me wanted to coach in the Big 12 conference and wanted to attempt to win a championship in the Big 12 conference.

I think they chose Iowa State for reasons other than wanting to be in Ames and wanting to be a Cyclone. Some of those pieces aren't in place anymore.

We've got (Iowa coach) Steve Alford and (Iowa State coach) Wayne Morgan to thank. If they were not willing to play us, we'd be sitting where Missouri State is.

I am excited about getting to play each of the Iowa teams - Drake, Iowa and Northern Iowa - this year.

He was in an off-side position and he stayed in an off-side position. It is not as if he came back from behind the defenders. It should not have been allowed. It is as simple as that. If I was the manager of the Czech Republic I would've been very disappointed.

All their backline was off-side, they'd be over the advantage line and just stayed there and it nullified anything our backline did.
