For the second straight year the Big Ten Network brought its crew to the Iowa campus to televise an Iowa Football practice. The faces of football on the network have been travelling around to each conference institution and package an entire practice session to be aired that night in a 90 minute show. Their trip to Iowa City capped off a two-week trek throughout the upper Midwest.
The Big Ten Network football studio crew of (L-R) Dave Revsine, Gerry DiNardo, Howard Griffith is joined by Iowa Football Head Coach, Kirk Ferentz
Joining Howard Griffith was sideline and special feature commentator Mike Hall (Left).
The Big Ten Network had an entire set along with multiple cameras. We were asked to share a lift with one of their cameramen. For close to $7 million a year and great publicity, we co-existed with the crew for one day. However next year we hope they are better equipped with longer cables allowing us to go to heights we are used to.
Iowa Defensive Coordinator, Norm Parker joined the crew on the set for an in-depth look at his side of the ball.
Iowa Linebacker Coach, Darrell Wilson was mic'd up for a segment of the show.
For those of you who follow the Big Ten Network on twitter, this is Brent, the person supplying the tweets for @bigtennetwork. He informed us he is one of the lone Cub fans among the travelling road show. Many of the other staffers are White Sox fans who have monopolized the televisions on the trip. We informed him he hasn't missed much.
Iowa Offensive Coordinator Ken O'Keefe was on the set to discuss how they would replace Shonn Greene for the '09 season.
Cameramen covered every inch of the Iowa Football practice.
Kirk Ferentz was the last to record his segment for the show.
