Iowa took some real grief this past week from guys like Colin Cowherd, but frankly it was well-deserved. The Iowa Hawkeyes can’t say much here – they need to start scheduling real nonconference opponents. Until they do they’ll get little respect.

Iowa fans took a lot of grief last year as they tried to defend their undefeated team against all the critics, and then had to watch the Hawkeyes get demolished in the Rose Bowl against Stanford.

Today things got even worse as 13th-ranked Iowa lost 23-20 against FCS power North Dakota State.

Now they’ll have to take even more grief from critics like Colin Cowherd who was merciless last year as he pointed out over and over again that Iowa hadn’t played anybody and didn’t deserve a shot in the College Football Playoff.

After ESPN’s Colin Cowherd made some upsetting comments on a recent radio show about Chad Ochocinco, the Bengals’ receiver unleashed a barrage of verbal attacks on the host via his Twitter page.

From the Huffington Post.com:

According to Out of Bounds, “Cowherd said something to the effect of ‘70% of NFL and NBA players are broke within 5 years of retirement,’ and used Ochocinco’s name as part of his point.” Ochocinco did not take the mention lightly.

In a series of tweets, Ochocinco urged Cowherd to “just say I don’t like this black guy!!” He proceeded to tell the host that “your girl is cheating on you” and suggested that Cowherd “try EXTENZE,” the “male enhancement pill” most recently pitched by former coach Jimmy Johnson.

Note to self: Never piss off Ochocinco because the man really knows how to use Twitter to make a point.
