Gary Barta everybody

Pollard's Official Response:

Dear Mr. Barta,

Your most recent correspondence brings to mind a story about a boy who cried wolf. In the past few years you have noted the following:
1. A locker room theft that ended up being done by one of your own (A hawk not a cyclone).
2. A fictitious assault on a hawk basketball player by ISU students.

At this time Iowa State University the flagship University in the State of Iowa will not be investigating your latest story. We would suggest you tell your marching band students to suck it up. As for you please stop wasting your time with these dumb accusations and letters, but spend your time more productively doing things such as extending your basketball coaches contract and discriminating athletic department employees.

Sincerely,
JP

Would LOVE for Pollard just to respond with...

Mr. Barta,

Please remove the 2x4 from thine own eye before you point out the speck of dust in ours.

Sincerely,
JP


And just to add another anecdote...husband speaks of the C or D sized battery that went whizzing past his face while walking into Kinnick circa mid-90's. It's been happening for awhile.

Just dumped a trash can full of water from
a Friley window when they were playing the fight song in the courtyard at 3am. I guess I was grumpy as hell even back then.

Hahahahaha I wasn't there in 03-04, but having been in the group that did that same thing in later years, we probably deserved it.

You kept your bong water in a trash can?

Anyone see this? We were by their band as they left and saw absolutely nothing. Don’t know about before the game. Sad that I am skeptical of this.

 

[Clonefan94]

Oooo, another scandal, blamed on ISU fans, when Iowa comes to Ames. So when will we find out it was actually Hawkeye fans who were treating their own band poorly?

 

[CysRage]

So if we had racial or discriminatory stuff going on, has that been the norm? Don't know what this was nor does anyone else, but if it is something like that does it not rise above just a bothersome problem? I can tell you what I would do if I heard an Iowa fan stating that crap, they'd be told to STFU or get out.

Do you know something or what? You keep throwing out discrimination but have nothing to support it. How about we wait and see what actually happened before running our mouths. This wouldn't be the first time Barta rushed a press release without all the facts (IE Gary Dolphin, locker room theft, title IX lawsuits, withholding contractor payments, you name it)

This is a rivalry game for ISU, and just another game for Iowa, lets get a real Power 5 team on the schedule

You’re so ******* worthless and stupid

 

[Mantis Tobogan]

One of posters on the HR pay board said they witnessed the N word being yelled at band members so you can take for what’s it’s worth. If it was only something like throwing a few things or yelling **** Iowa that would pretty petty of Barta to issue a public statement like this.

I don't think Iowa really wants to compare how bands are treated with us. Could some Iowa State fans have gone over the top with the Iowa band? Of course. If Jamie knew who they were, should they get in trouble? Sure. But I'd guess that our band could come up with stories just as bad.

The Iowa band should grow a pair.

 

[Cat Stevens]

So please you obviously know what happened Saturday night, please do state the exact details.

God damn you are trying so hard. You’re such a ******* insecure loser.

I hope that isn't true. If so, ban that idiot for life.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

See: Kum and Go thread

Not following this train of thought, but that's nothing new when I read your posts.

 

[Mantis Tobogan]

I’d be surprised if this happened. I can’t imagine any Iowa or ISU fan ever doing this in this day and age but when you’re in you’re in a stadium full of fellow fans and alcohol is introduced people do crazy stuff.

If that's true they should ban that person for life.
What was GarBar's punishment for when he discriminated? We all know he didnt cut his vacation short.

You don't think discriminatory things haven't been yelled at the ISU band in Kinnick. LOL.

 

[flycy]

And how do you know he didn't?

We have Barta's history to know he didn't.

Where did I ever say that? I’d be surprised if there wasn’t.

IMO, throwing things is a lot worse than any namecalling.... obviously neither is acceptable at all, but JP could have sent a letter to Barta after nearly every time ISU has played at Kinnick too.
