Until Gary Barta is fired...

...we really don't have that much to talk about. Nothing will change in any sport. They're just going to rely on that BTN money and brag about being great at sports that only 20 schools in the country care about. This is just depressing.

Empty Seats on TV. Nothing else matters.

WOW. That's depressing, and very alarming. Really says it all.

But hey, we're doing it the right way.

Football and basketball are really at sad states. This is really depressing.

This is what needs to happen. GB has to go.

At any other major university Gary would be gone. We have reached a new level of mediocrity.

Bingo the Clown? But he's a great beggar. And nobody puts female coaches in their place like Bingo. He should give himself a life long contract.

Does the football win against UNI not count? Not that it makes any of this any more acceptable...

He's in way over his head and has been for years.... Look at his resume folks! Bowlsby was the same way too. He just bailed at the perfect time at Iowa and Stanford. Both guys have big hats but no cattle!!!

At least Bowlsby had a pair. Did he bat .1000 on his coaching hires? No. But he was at least willing to take some chances, pushing out two of the most successful coaches in school history (at least one of which was forced out at about the right time, if we're being objective about it). No way Barta would have had the stones to do that. Which is why we're stuck in this rut until he's gone.
