Gary Barta everybody

Kind of wondering if the Iowa AD is holding back what they know and hoping Jamie opens his mouth a little too much.

It sounds like JP has asked for specific details as there are cameras around Jack Trice but hasn't received any additional info.

I didn't see anything from the press conference that could have provided some gotcha moment. Pollard just said they haven't even been contacted and don't even know what they're looking for yet. He never denied anything happened.

Yeah, I'm just wondering if he may call into Murph and Andy. I'll trust Jamie's judgement.

I trust him too but I hope he doesn't. If anything the media heat on this needs to be dialed back, not escalated, until we know exactly what did or did not happen.

I stay out of ISR because most posts are trolls both directions. But how in the hell have all of you been accosted so much at games? I haven’t missed a game against Iowa at either location in 25+ years. I not only have not been assaulted, but have seen nothing but good natured ribbing at either place. You guys must either be really sensitive pussies or obnoxious instigators.

Where do you tailgate at? Up by the stadium in the donor lot things are usually pretty much fine but get out into the neighborhood parking and things get interesting... I've had most if my issues actually in the stadium. I can handle verbal but when people start throwing stuff at you, that's where I draw the line.
 
Serious question here. Has anyone really heard Barta talk about this on camera? Has anyone ever heard Barta talk? All I ever hear is Barta said this, Barta said that, but never a camera shot of him talking. I've always wondered what he sounds like in person. Like this maybe??

I always wonder the same thing. I think a lot of it are just fabricated or embellished stories to try and make the other fan base look bad.

When you're part of a large group of people such as the band, which is very visible, creates a lot of sound, and you're wearing official ISU uniforms, you become an easy target. It's also not just at the games. The worst is outside either practicing or parading to the stadium.

I've been to several games as a fan and have only had to deal with mouthy, annoying hawk fans. Not even close to the same. Admittedly I've only attended games as a fan at ISU. I won't go to Iowa City.

The best thing Jamie can do is nothing on this topic until Barta actually has meat to his vague press release. JP just needs to keep promoting the new entertainment district and let that news take over. That'll get under Barta's skin more than anything.
 
Honestly if Barta is going to be a constant dousche over things like this band incident and the locker room theft maybe it really is time to end this thing. We don't need to put up with this ****. Maybe that's what Barta wants.
