Gary Barta everybody

[OldEagle]

Barta will probably use "the safety of our students and players" as an excuse to cancel the football and basketball series. He sees the writing on the wall.
Fran can then buy another win and schedule Kirkwood, oh wait, that just be an inter-squad scrimmage and not qualify as a game?

 

[Raiders70]

**** Iowa. This is getting pathetic.

 

[cstrunk]

**** the hawguys.

 

[jdoggivjc]

I would love for Barta to pursue this, only for it to be discovered that it's an internal issue, much like the locker room thefts were several years ago.

What a bunch of babies. Has to be embarrassing to be a hawk fan.

Need a ISU lawyer here to file a class action lawsuit for libel against the EIU athletic department for us fans.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Has there been video that has come out? If something has happened, I hope the individuals are caught and punished. However, it would be a bit surprising if this was not caught on video somewhere in this day and age.

They probably know more about medicine than Gary Barta does about being an Athletic Director.

Barta just wants end the series and keep the high ground at the same time. Pretty pathetic. Does nothing but create more animosity between the fanatical wings of each fan base. Hayden Fry would be proud.

I got attacked by Iowa fans at Jack Trice as a student in the late 90s. Somehow it wasn't national news.

Feel sorry if anything real happened but Barta has zero credibility after the locker room theft lies incident. Need a new AD. Boy who cried wolf situation.

If this starts going much worse for GarBar, Fran is going to start getting nervous.

 

[JP4CY]

Looks like Fran.

Isn’t the game protected by legislature?

I believe Pandy Reterson shot that down on the radio a couple weeks ago.

Urban legend. The state legislature has never taken any action mandating the game be played.

Maybe I’m thinking of Texas/Texas Tech?

You might have to come up with some stronger evidence than that.
