Your caption here! (Cliff Jette/The Gazette-KCRG TV9)

After Iowa beat up on Minnesota Saturday, one of our photographers, Cliff Jette, got perhaps the best shot of the day – Hawkeyes’ lineman James Ferentz eyeing-up Floyd Of Rosedale, just before the whole Iowa team swarmed the area and pancaked a bunch of photographers and journalists.

Now it’s your turn to have some fun with the great photo…in the comment section below, submit your most creative caption for the shot. What is Ferentz thinking as he gazes longingly at Floyd? What’s his next move?

Our guys submitted their best ones on Monday’s ‘On Iowa Live’ – the video is below. Have fun! We’ll post the best ones later this week.
