Iowa Stifles Online Dissent (Almost)

So here's a clever idea: To make sure that no enterprising and surly fan starts a campaign to take down the head coach at your program, the University of Iowa has bought the rights to FireKirkFerentz.com.

The Iowa football coach has struggled in recent years, and, as FireRonZook.com fans can attest, these sites can really gain traction when matters are streaming downhill. The Hawkeyes are taking no chances; they have also bought the rights to FireLisaBluder.com and FireGaryBarta.com; that's the women's basketball coach and the athletic director, respectively. If you go to either site, it will send you to HawkeyeSports.com.

They're a little too late in one regard, though; Fire Steve Alford is fully operational. Gotta be quicker next time, guys.
