Big Ten titles in 2017-18: Notre Dame 2, John Hopkins 1, Iowa 0 (54th in Directors Cup)
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I remember when Pollard was hired, he said one of his goals was for ISU to finish in the top 50 of the Director's Cup, so it was significant to him; whether that's common among ADs or not, I have no clue. That's a fairly tall order for ISU because it fields the minimum number of sports to maintain its NCAA status.
I missed the reference in Mike's column to Iowa being 18th in revenue.
From Mike's column:
* Michigan and Ohio State, at Nos. 6 and 7 nationally, respectively, were the two top Big Ten programs in the Director's Cup national standings.
* Not coincidentally, OSU was third in the NCAA in athletic revenue in fiscal year 2017, and Michigan was fourth.
* Iowa was 18th in athletic revenue, fifth-highest in the Big Ten.
When is the last time you saw someone wearing a ‘Directors Cup’ shirt or came across one for sale? Maybe I’m just running in the wrong circles.
I haven't mentioned this yet, but you are now basically resorting to admitting that you're only intention is to argue with people about how bad Gary Barta is, and that if nobody comes on here to defend him, then you feel justified in your criticisms of him..........I mean Hawkeye Report is a popular place and all and I know our approval is important to you, but again.........nobody cares.You're a funny dude. I thank you for thinking of me at 4 am (Geezus f*** I'll post at 3 am next time so it won't bother you as much.......) to provide a response so that there was in fact any form of a response. (Well it needed to be done.) Notice the lack of responses in support of GB. (I told you, nobody cares....) If the one guy who provided a response can be surmised as "I don't care about responding, but here is my response, he is not so bad that he has alienated a guy that bleeds black and gold" that is all the response needed. (It is. Now Barta can stay....) Fwiw this is the most accurate thing I have found to depict your responses here.
(I mean......everything I say is true. And, if we're being fair here, you have done a very poor job at refuting any truthful thing I've said. So yeah.....I win.
Yes, yes we will. The guy is a waste of space with a golden goose.
I'm not looking for an argument at all, the thread(a place to voice ones opinion, is about the poor performance in the directors cup. I am of the belief Gary is a poor AD, this would in fact be the place to voice that opinion. If I were talking about how bad barta was in a thread about the offense, stadium, OOC, I could see the "you're looking for an argument" stance. All good man, hope you enjoyed the fireworks tonight.
We have too many honest boosters. We need to start spending more money on recruits
Glad to hear your opinion on Barta, again, again and again. And oh yes, now you can get the last word in again, again and again.
Lol it's okay. I'd never allow that to happen.Glad to hear your opinion on Barta, again, again and again. And oh yes, now you can get the last word in again, again and again.
I didn't. It rained all evening.I'm not looking for an argument at all (you would fight people to defend your position that Barta is a bad AD.....so dont lie), the thread(a place to voice ones opinion, is about the poor performance in the directors cup. (Yeah and nobody cares about it...) I am of the belief Gary is a poor AD, this would in fact be the place to voice that opinion. (I didn't say you couldn't.) If I were talking about how bad barta was in a thread about the offense, stadium, OOC, I could see the "you're looking for an argument" stance. ("I could see-"......Well see that's why I'm right.
Also, I'm not holding you hostage. You can leave this thread whenever you want......
Again, i don't think most care but I do think it gives an indication of where our overall athletic department stands.
Iowa baseball is fun again, finally.
A lot of the women's sports at Iowa, however, have struggled for a while now. Iowa is not getting much bang for the the buck for coaches' salaries, scholarships, etc. in those particular sports. If we are going to field 22 total sports, shouldn't we at least be competitive? And that's all on Barta and his vision/leadership/
You talk in circles. (You might also notice that prior to this post you and I had both posted 13 times in this thread however I had posted 4 or 5 times prior to your first post. If anyone seems to be unstable to leave the thread it is yourself) it's all good monkey, Gary wont last forever and eventually I will get my wish. Franisdaman, gets it. It isnt about being national champions in every sport, and I wouldnt expect fans on the football board to care about ladies soccer, but there is a fanbase and talent pool for ladies soccer in the state of Iowa and they are being severely wrong done by.I didn't. It rained all evening.

Well, at least you're honest. Just like Notre Dame's former radio voice:

You would be guessing wrong it was 13 and 13 up until the previous post, I was in fact incorrect about you immediately posting. It is. While the idea of waiting him out had not been presented I still get what I want. Grammer nazi isn't your schtick. You love this thread Monkey, it gives you something to keep coming to.im tired of listing specifics so you can deflect all to hell. Barta is still really bad at his job and you still talk in circles. Now, I actually accepted a new Job today so I'm off to go celebrate. Enjoy your day monkey.

I’m not saying it’s bad to enjoy and root for the other non-marquee sports. I’m just not going to bang the drum for the directors cup and puff my chest out about it. Be good in the marquee sports of football and men’s basketball first. Then see what happens in the others in a 14 team conference.
Iowa's AD > other ADs.......because Iowa > everyoneYou would be guessing wrong it was 13 and 13 up until the previous post (What was?....Who gave a f***? What are you talking about?...), I was in fact incorrect (I'm shocked....) about you immediately posting. It is. While the idea of waiting him out had not been presented I still get what I want. (Mmmm, but not the way you want, so it doesn't count.) Grammer nazi isn't your schtick. (Then don't give me a reason to correct your grammar.......) You love this thread Monkey, it gives you something to keep coming to. (Is it something to do, yes.....is it the reason to keep coming back to this board? Dont hold yourself in too high a regard.....
Deal with it.
