Again, nothing to do with the faux outrage ISU fans are showing toward the suspension of the Iowa radio announcer.

Step away for a bit.

Faux outrage =/= this case. Faux outrage were to be if he wasn’t suspended and we would call for it.
Dolph being suspended for that, and for Gary Barta to remain on vacation during a rising discrimination case tell the majority of people here all they need to know.

So there is a need for multiple threads on here about it? Good to know.

An old thread was bumped and started to get political, so this one was created in hopes to keep the politics out of it. Not hard to understand.

Nice move, I would stick with deflecting if I was being so obsessed with Iowa's radio guy and the wives of Iowa coaches.

This is an awful take. This got picked up by the AP and was really the only local(state) sports story worth talking about yesterday. It's also just the most recent story in the series of Fran/Dolph, aka the other thread being picked up again. Of course sports fans of other teams are going to talk about it. I'm sure other fan bases aren't too.

I'm sure you want this swept under the rug, but Barta made sure that wasn't going to happen not ISU fans.

I've never seen another fan base get so fired up about another teams radio guy.

I don't even know the names of the ISU radio crew.

Ill call BS. I guarantee you know who they are.

2nd, its ironic that you call out our obsession over this topic (even though every media member in the State is talking about it because you're school is bad at PR), while on OUR message board. Ill argue the definition of obsession is creating multiple user names on another teams message board just so you can continue to come here and argue.

I think that there is a tug of war going on over Dolph. I'd imagine that Fran hates Dolph after his after the comments he made earlier this year about his recruiting and players on roster and would really like him to be fired. I also think that Ferentz loves Dolph and doesn't want to see him go anywhere. Barta is caught in the middle because football pays the bills and he doesn't want to piss off Ferentz and he doesn't want to have Francon 10 by not doing what Fran wants also. So Barta takes the cowards way out and suspends Dolph for the rests of the basketball season so Fran doesnt have to deal with him anymore and Ferentz will get his boy back in the fall.
 
They need to just sack up and fire the guy rather than fabricating excuses to.

I just hope it comes out that McCaffrey and Barta teamed up to get Dolph out of there.... that they were just waiting for him to say something else they could nail him on.

Maryland it seems never complained at all about what Dolph said. So who did? Who has wanted Dolph gone more than anyone else? Yep, Mad Fran. I don't know how the Iowa fans can cheer on that turd.

I'd bet my life that the Mad Wife has been listening to the radio since December looking for a way to screw him over.

The comment about the player blew up pretty fast on twitter. The comment Thursday night did not. There's no way that many people complained about it without us hearing about it. I bet the only complaint was the Fran family.

Also, local media, ASK HIM THE ******* QUESTION. Who cares if they say he won't answer it. Ask it and let him not answer it.

1. Stop trying to make this a political thing. Nobody at all was talking about this before Iowa made it an issue today. It wasn't about snowflakes getting pissed off. Literally nobody was saying anything. This is completely about Barta and Fran wanting to get rid of Dolph.

2. Instead of being a man and just canning him, he had to go and be a total coward and slap the racist tag on him. Without getting too political, of course racism is still a problem, and obviously more of one than I realized 5 years ago. However, "King Kong" is part of the lexicon describing a total badass. When Denzel yelled "King Kong ain't got **** on me" at the end of training day, he wasn't saying he was blacker than King Kong. He was saying he was the ultimate badass. That's how Dolph was using it.

3. You guys know I've defended Iowa and McCaffery on this board many times. Many, many times. But let's call a spade a spade here: if you are trying to drum up racist charges against somebody because you are too much of a coward to fire them, that is evil behavior. It makes you a bad person. I'm honestly going to have to take a break from talking about Iowa basketball and probably sports in general, because IMO I can't separate what is going to happen on the court from this situation. I've enjoyed good natured ribbing in the past but I just can't here. I hope Fran loses every game by 100. And I can honestly say I rooted for them when we didn't play them before now.
