**2018-2019 Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball Season Thread**

[Dr. Zaius]

He owns SpoCo

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Seems out of his element.

 

[douglasbader]

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

The president and athletic director are at the basketball game. Beyond absurd! I forgot how much of a twerp Brommelkamp was as I do not follow him

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Someone needs to take Chris's phone away.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Hopefully Halo will stop posting Hassel tweets going forward. Might get some good from this.

 

[maxinquaye]

Very stable genius.

Shows how stupid Iowa fans are with Dolphin in the lead. You would rather have a horrible PBP guy over the best coach Iowa's had since Tom Davis basketball-wise.

Dolph has been with the University for over 22 years. Iowans are loyal. Fran has had a few successful years but can still come off like a dick and was on the hot seat coming into this year. There are definitely plenty of people that are not sold on Fran.

Iowa fans are also really fucking stupid and this is a prime example.

Doug's above it.

Except when he's accusing Nixon of rape.

He hasn’t owned IC spo co in a long time

I honestly don’t even give a fuck anymore. Iowa fans have proven themselves to be completely retarded. I probably just need to get off Hawkeye social media entirely.

Everyone demands excellence and then proceeds to bitch about fucking everything. Because that’s a great way to bring people together and get better. Fucking bitch about your coaches, AD, facilities, security guards, and fucking band.

I mean how can a reasonable person not think that there is way more going on behind the scenes here?

 

[Gushawk]

I try to limit my bitching to the AD and terrible QB decisions, but it’s hard sometimes.

I kick myself every time I click on the comments of a press-citizen story about Iowa athletics.

the comments section of any article online is the absolute worst.

Fran isn't the best coach, but he has shown very solidly that last year was the anomaly. He has been solid for Iowa and has them right back to being an upper level Big Ten team in the toughest conference in the country.

Of course dipshit IowaFan would rather have Gary Dolphin. Of course.

I wouldn't blame Fran if he took him and his kids and walked out the door and took another job at somewhere like Georgia Tech or Wake Forrest.

I agree with this. Let’s hope this year leads to 2020 recruiting success, if not then I think this program is in mediocrity trouble in a few years.

However, it would be funny if Fran tried to leave and Barta blocked his kids from transferring to his school. It would never happen, but it’d be funny if Kirk authorized it.

Now more realistically, I’m in downtown Austin on Tuesday for work, where do I watch the Hawks? I may need to entertain clients beginning around 7:30.

 

[HawkBall23]

10-6 (in the B10)/21-6. 4-6 record vs Q1, including a W vs Michigan. And ZERO losses outside of Q1.

Iowa is now a lock in the Big Dance. Fuck any of the "experts" who try to say they aren't.

[L. Wade Childress]

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.

 

[LutherBlue89]

regardless of the context, referring to a black athlete as a giant gorilla is a pretty clear no-go zone. after all, it's been over 30 years since howard cosell called joe morris "a little monkey" and got fired for it.

if you're a professional, you should be aware of sedimented meanings....

Hey Davidukenpas, it was Alvin Garett, not Joe Morris.

"davidukenpas" is pretty fucking stupid. maybe you should read the post in the other thread in which I was a little more detailed about the problematic context of the remark.

I remembered it as a redskins-giants game...so I thought it was joe morris. anyway, I watched that game as a 15-year-old and thought "gee, that was dumb, howard."

It was just a joke.

Why can’t Barta just get rid of Dolphin without making it about race? Just fire him for being a shitty announcer and move on. This just makes the athletic department look more inept. Barta used to attend Parkview Church in Iowa City which is the mega bible banger church in IC. Barta doesn’t give a shit about being PC.

Because Barta doesn’t have a problem with Dolph.

An ill-conceived one. Test that material first.

 

[Berzerkenpas]

10-6

Fuck Archie Miller and his numb-nuts roster of underachievers.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I still feel at this point Fran is replaceable. He has by no means earned a lifetime contract here....yet. If he sustains the level of competition from this year and/or builds off of it, that could change pretty quickly.

Dolph has been here long enough to earn his tenure and is solidly entrenched in Hawkeye fandom. As much as you want to marginalize his PBP skills, he is still OUR shitty PBP guy.

Holy shit, this is the worst post I've ever fucking read.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Hassel already deleted that last tweet.

What was it?

Sorry, I gave you too much credit.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

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.

Will you ever stop sucking Gary Barta's dick?

 

[BillyBob]

And who the fuck cares about that cracker ass cracker Gary Dolphin. Good riddance. He fucking sucks at his job and should have been fired a long ass time ago.

 

[maxinquaye]

The reaction about this from all of you jon millers is really pissing me off.

 

[Silky Johnson]

I think a lot of people aren’t stans per se, but just feel this is pretty rich coming from Barta of all people. You know, the guy who lets Kirk’s agent walk all over him and just cost the athletic department millions of dollars in a lawsuit.

On the bright side, at least we should be able to know the score during basketball games assuming they hire a competent replacement.

 

[JR Hawks]

Barta can raise money but what a piece of shit leader he is. Come out and talk to the media and stand behind your decision and then be done with it. Nope. Let’s let this linger on until next week when Barta is available and keep this in the news for an additional week. Brilliant! I mean who the fuck signs off on this shit

The Barta is a great fundraiser line needs to be retired. He's no better than anyone else that would be in that position.

 

[Silky Johnson]

The reaction about this from all of you jon millers is really pissing me off.

Carl Davis and Devyn Marble were defending Dolph on twitter. Better tell them they’re out of touch white guys. Yeah Dolph is an idiot and yeah he probably should’ve been replaced long ago, but this is a weak excuse to do so from our incompetent AD.

 

[BBK]

We should offer Gus Johnson like $1 million to call all the Iowa football and basketball games.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

Oh my god, I just saw a tweet with a poll that the vast majority of people would keep dolphin over Fran if given the choice. I thought it was an obvious troll and joke and then realized it was Chris Hassel's tweet. How is that a fucking thing?

You really think an 18-14 (7-13) Iowa team sniffs the NCAA tournament.

No.

anything out there on weiskamp's back? didn't someone here say he had some back issues in hs as well?

muscular, ok, no worries long term. if it's a disk issue, not so much....

If you are in incredible physical condition and have continual back problems at age 19, it's never a good thing.
