    The Barta Conundrum

  2. DesMoinesHawki

    Has the view of Iowa football been this negative in the last 50 years?

    Serious question ... Are you an intern with the football program? Hey, I am all about positive people, etc., but what I don't like is people who try to spit shine what everyone knows is a big fat turd ... There is a difference between being positive and simply being blind with ignorance. Iowa...

    Has the view of Iowa football been this negative in the last 50 years?

    Agree 100% I have been a diehard for 35+ years ... In my lifetime, at least, never been witness to such disdain for a coach or an AD at Iowa. Lick was close via basketball ... but we barely knew Lick and he was only here 3 years and he wasn't one of the top 10 highest paid coaches in college...

    Rudock Fires A Few Shots

    "Ruddock fires a few shots" ... Huh!? What "shots" did Ruddock fire? Love posts like this where the author tries to give it a TMZ headline to get people to open and click ... Ruddock did not take any digs at Iowa ... Nice way to try and "make" the news ... in comparison to what was actually said ...

    Schwartz article on Season ticket drop

    Let's not get carried away here ... Yes, the Iowa women had a nice season ... Iowa wrestling has not met expectations the last 2-3 seasons ... Iowa men's basketball is fairing okay but nothing to write home about in Year #5 of Fran ... Iowa baseball is having a nice season ... And let's see if...

    Brands Bro's Time to Go

    I like TnT ... on the flip side, you do have to stop every so often and take a step back and truly evaluate the direction of the program. Time and time again, we hear Brands sort of place everything on the wrestlers. They need to be more aggressive. Or, we are leaving too many points on the...

    This is why it's painful..

    I think if Kirk was truly concerned about his job he would have shaken up this staff. Any coach truly concerned about his job would not have brought Davis back as OC ... All Kirk did is re-shuffle the chairs on the deck of the Titanic ... A coach who in January said he "needs to spend more time...

    This is why it's painful..

    Please make this Kirk's last year at Iowa. Kirk is tired. Has no urgency to win, and is basically just riding this out ... We all know what Kirk thinks of the Iowa fans who critique the almighty Kirk Ferentz ... but the bottomline is this program is sinking. Kirk is not going to turn this...

    I did somewhat renew my season tickets.

    Does this mean our fans were acting like the devil when Minnesota and Tennessee totally destroyed us? Seriously ... you live in Colorado? Dang, makes me want Iowa to legalize pot sooner than later because you found some good stuff my man ...

    Crippling Recruiting Miss: 6 WRs in 2013

    To OP ... nail on the head ... Davis has done NOTHING to address what he pointed out as one of Iowa's major areas of concern when he arrived ... Speed and talent at the WR position ... Davis has been a flop from Day 1 ... Kirk is tired ... boring, and is hell bent on going down with the ship ...

    Willies headed to Mizzou?

    And don't forget about Vandy! This roster is SIMPLY stacked with talent ...

    Greg Davis

    GD has been a flop ... His first comment when he arrived at Iowa is we need more speed at the receiver ... And yet, Davis has done nothing to bring in any receivers who can actually run whatever type offense Davis thinks it is he is running. Honestly ... I find myself tiring out even talking...

    I did somewhat renew my season tickets.

    Amen ... Don't miss the season tickets whatsoever ... This is a sinking program ... Kirk knows it ... I respected Kirk as a man ... but I would respect him a heck of a lot more if he agreed to reach an agreement with Barta to "step away" from the program ... versus collecting his big fat check...

    Thug U?

    Yes, your mom was one of a kind back then ....

    I did somewhat renew my season tickets.

    Done with Kirk ... Done with Iowa football .. Done with our idiot AD ... Won't set foot in Kinnick until both Kirk and Gary are gone ... 35-year fan ... Former I-Club board member ... season ticket holder for 10 years ... No way will I settle for mediocre football ... Won't watch it and sure as...

    My level of optimism dropped after Saturday

    This is a sinking ship. This year will be ugly ... Fan apathy will continue to grow ... Attendance will be down ... and Iowa football will firmly establish itself in line with the Northwesterns and Illinois' of the conference. Listening to Kirk ... seeing the state of the program with sveral...

    Juan Harris decommits....AGAIN

    Yeah, this kid is going to continue to commit/de-commit until 2 years from now ... Honestly, if it is true the kid has "de-commited" from Iowa for a second time then adios my friend. Not worth the time and effort for someone who is going to leave you holding your d*(& in your hand on signing day...

    Remember when a game day experience was fun win or lose?

    Gave up my season tickets last year (after having them for 10 years). For me, it is the product on the field. When Iowa was competitive ... Kinnick was an intimating place to play. When a horrible ISU team came in and beat us in 2012 ... when Central Michigan SHOULD have beat us last season ...

    Rudock is Gone

    Can't say I blame Jake at all. Kirk coming out to name CJ the starter after the season ended was completely ridiculous ... especially when you have been telling us Jake is your man for the past 2 seasons. Don't blame Jake for wanting to see if he can start at another school. The process of how...

    Ticket Pricing

    Really? This is supposed to entice fans to renew season tickets? Maybe next year the U of I will toss in a free tank of gas ...
