COACH GAME QUOTES

Hayden Fry Do you think those guys [voters] were drunk over the weekend? Super - that's great. It's been a long time, hasn't it? There's no accurate way to rank teams, but I guess if it's a prestigious thing, I'm grateful to be in the top 20. They [Iowa players] probably appreciate the ranking like I do - zip.
-- Hayden Fry
Jokingly said after hearing about Iowa being ranked in the Top 20 for the first time in about 20 years.
