This is like your local theatre company producing Shakespeare or The Nutcracker.

That's where Zook got it from.

Another true story: Zook learned to water ski in Hyannis Port, Mass.

It's funny how I have clearer memories of the Zooker's f-ups than I do of our (many) football successes.

He bungled up something at Iowa City; but his unforgettable swinging gate gaffe was against Indiana (back when they sucked at football). Ron "Boy Genius" Zook was convinced that the gate would work for two; so he sent his PAT squad out there... and the backup QB/holder had no authority to call a TO. Indiana had us perfectly defended for the play, which could not be changed at all once we saw how they lined up.

The entire Zooker tenure chaps my azz to this day.

And someone thinks that guy could run a bank.
