Barta Extended!

JRE1975 said:
Jamie Pollard's accomplishments would make a long list, including his decisions regarding coaches, facilities, his leadership in the national organizations, and raising 3 times the contributions from NCC compared to when he got here, Every decision he has made has been for the welfare of the student athletes and the implementation of a long term marketing plan for Iowa State athletics he started when he got here.

He has been a master at marketing Iowa State. I live in Florida and I was in Des Moines and Minneapolis for the last two weeks and I come home for most home football games and the amount of Iowa State gear you see in the Des Moines area compared to 15 years ago is at a minimum on par with Iowa if not more. Which is a lot more than before.

JP has made Iowa State sports so damn much fun, more fun than any other time since I started going to games 50 years ago.

If I were an Iowa fan, I would be mad at Barta and the Iowa administration for not taking at least some of the big money from the BTN (or the $ spent on legal settlements) over the last 15 years and doing a better job of marketing to keep JP and the Iowa State administration from being so successful in pulling Iowa State up to a more competitive level with the people of Iowa, both as a university and in athletics. The success and fun of Iowa State sporting events in the last 10-15 years is one of several significant reasons Iowa State has more students than Iowa.

I am happy JP is at Iowa State and I don't care who the AD is at Iowa.

Meh. We didn't beat them two years ago and still ended up being better. Upsets happen

Nope. Iowa played a much tougher schedule, won as many games as isu and beat them head to head.

I get why these things don’t count for 2017. They counted before and will count again but that is how clone fans roll. Just move the goal posts when they don’t fit your argument.

What about it? Wasn’t his call to make whether or not that lawsuit went to trial. That call was made by the Chief Legal Counsel and University President.

Just like it wasn’t Pollards call to settle the discrimination case against BF and the isu Athletic Department.

Mods, can you please have put a goofball rating on here? You can call it "Walmartthieves". Everyone on here, except for thieves himself, would understand it.

They haven’t improved based on what goal posts? Just trying to understand how you will move them next.

Prior to barta how many 10+ win seasons has he had? After barta? How many after? How losing seasons/.500 pre/post? Kirks best run was pre-barta.

Some great takes on the mighty Barta here. Pretty sad when Rob Howe has to tell the faithful to tone it down about their AD's performance. If football or basketball, don't perform well this year, can't wait to see what the fan base and donors do. It's already been said that revenue for football and basketball will be down this year. Under perform and still get a piece of the B1G pie to help you. Nice!

Jeff is in a class by himself as a worthless hawk. He will be back if you ban him.

Jesus he has to be at least 3 user names removed from his original jwrhawk monicker from hr days on their site. Kakert had to shut down the rivals board over there because of him.

But it would sure be nice if any of the good hawk fans, who don’t hesitate to call out their own, ever said anything

Ever hear how JWR came about? He told us once it was because his bookie said he was too good at bets and it came from "just another winning regularly...."

I'd prefer not to ban him. It's fun to watch him bury himself.
