The biggest travesty in this Dolph saga is Jim Albrecht calling games.


He’s going to drop a Kaboom! I love this team!

Albrecht is somehow a downgrade.

I'm pretty sure I listened to him say "There's a slamma jamma," during one of his fill in early season games last year and almost drove my car into a river purposely.

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.
It was a comment of passion!

I’m more upset about people calling the Sports Column “SpoCo” than anything else.

Iowa has to win out. After that the best routes for getting the four are:
1) Maryland and Wisconsin each lose twice
2) Maryland loses twice, Iowa ties with Wisconsin and wins tiebreak if (and only if) Michigan finishes not tied with Michigan st.
3) Michigan loses three times

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.

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.
Kirk’s contract!!!!!!!

I am personally very pissed the youths don't refer to a bar as the same slang I did in the 90s.

I don’t mind Albrecht. He calls a decent game...at least you know what’s going on, in the game.

He’s been the biggest dumb fuck since Iowa basketball started. Routinely gets the worst in chat award. “The game is over” after 5 minutes. “Fuck this shit, this team is horrible...”

He is a douche and if he played for another team I would probably hate him.

But he is our douche, I don't hate him, I love the big-balled bastard. Probably some homo.

The haters can fuck right off.

Revsine is one of my favorites on BTN - but that's a dumb thing to say. Get over it, bitch.

I wish I had recorded it. Kriener had possibly the stupidest mean-mug face I've ever seen after one of the 3's.

I like that he's calling out that sideline douche fan.

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.
