Revsine is one of my favorites on BTN - but that's a dumb thing to say. Get over it, bitch.
No way. Gasser is ridiculous recently. If he was standing and cheering that would be one thing, but the last few games he is jumping up and down in front of the table, running all over the sideline and acting like a dipshit.

His donation and support gets him a sideline seat, not a 30 foot runway.
I'll allow it because Dave sounds like a whiney little bitch, Doug!

This is very dumb. He fucked up again and he was already on thin ice. He isnt very good at his job anyway. I dont know how many times ive heard him described black players as articulate.
Seriously. The fact that after damn near every black player interview he marveled at how they were "articulate" or "well spoken" was more offensive than the King Kong or jigaboo comments. Then add in the fact that he's terrible at his job. I'm amazed at the number of stans he has.
Dolph uses “articulate” and “well-spoken” with virtually every football interview I’ve ever heard him do. It is more “ these young kids are good young men” than any latent racism.

Gritty. Gutty. Heady. Coach on the floor. Not as athletic as some, but gets it done with heart.

As much as we enjoy giving shit to Iowa State media types and how they are sunshine peddling idiots, at least they aren't insinuating the coach's wife is part of a conspiracy to get the announcer canned.

I've always kind of liked Miller. Sure, he's an idiot, but he always seemed like a nice enough guy.

It’s honestly hard to comprehend the dichotomy of “iowa fan posting on twitter” and “iowa fan who gives money and attends games”.

You have like 90% of the people screaming about (insert outrage here), but honestly no one gives a fuck about them. They don’t matter because they are easily replaced. They won’t be there when you are trying to build a baseball stadium or when you lose to ISU. Media can try to blow it up but they don’t really have any credibility either.

That’s why Barta doesn’t think twice about not even making himself available to the media today but then shows up at the game. He gives zero shits about his image. It’s actually pretty impressive. I don’t necessarily always agree with him, but that fucker has conviction. And why would he care? At the end of the day, if you win in major sports people will be fine with you. Coaches like him, donors like him, people that report to him for the most part like him, it’s just crazy the outrage we have towards a pretty damn successful athletic department.
Will you ever stop sucking Gary Barta's dick?
I don’t give a shit about Barta.

I give a shit about stupid people jumping to conclusions that undermine the athletic department without knowing the whole story. This isn’t a Barta problem. It happened under Bob and it will happen to the next guy/girl.
You just ranted that Iowa fans bitching on social media don’t matter and you’re right. But if they don’t matter they don’t undermine anything.

I also think Gasser looks like a jackass when he does it but I also can’t say I’ve ever thought about it two seconds after it’s over.

Let’s use ISU for a local example. You don’t think the cultish positive attitude developed for their AD doesn’t filter through to many different parts of the fanbase, media, overall perception, etc? I mean just look at the reverence provided for ISU by local news vs Iowa.

Meanwhile iowa fans just bitch and bitch about everything, including the fact the ISU has gained on them in terms of popularity over the years. They are their own worst enemy, not unlike certain political groups.

So maybe “don’t matter” was the wrong term, but the fact is that a people who make zero financial impact and therefore have little voice and chosen to adopt a tremendously pessimistic attitude instead of trying generate a sense of collective progress within the casual fanbase.

That’s why I am indifferent on Barta, much like I was with Alford. I just don’t think our fanbase has the collective sense to give him a fair shake going forward. Our athletic department is pretty damn good. I can’t believe that so many people don’t see the risk in a change. Do they not remember the last AD search?

I haven't heard a single Iowa fan bitching about ISU gaining on them.

I really think it boils down to Iowa having had just enough success in football to give people the false sense of deserving something more. It's been longer in basketball, but the entitlement permeates the fanbase.

And I love the 2015 Iowa football vibe. It is fucking perfect, and I'm not sure I'd trade it.

This sounds like a job for a credentialed message board like HaLo.

I hate to be an asshole, but Dolph can take a hike. He's not very good and I'm a Zabel guy anyway.

Also, dumbfucks like @Dr. Zaius need to get a fucking grip. Fran saved Iowa basketball and is a top-5 all-time coach in the program. If he wants our shitty play-by-play guy gone then sayonara.
