Gary Barta comes through again, (TigerHawk WaterTower)

[IowaNiceHawk]

Barta is having a YUUUUUUuuuge April, coming thru with the
Tiger Hawk on the Water Tower, then serving up a half a million
dollar$$ $urplus on the Pinstripe Bowl. (I thought NYC was 'spensive?)

GO HAWKS !!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like I've been on some Hawkeye board since, 1971 when
I and other Hawkeye fans first requested the Tiger Hawk on the
Water Tower.

Now Done !!

 

[HawkIDrummer]

Wow, that didn't take long. 11+ years...

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I don't care if Gary goes up and paints the SOB himself, I still want him gone.

 

[CO_hawk]

Gary sitting back thinking, "What else could I do to buy some time with the fan base?".

 

[IowaNiceHawk]

Wow, that didn't take long. 11+ years...

Hawkeye fans have been waiting A LOT longer than 11 years for this to get
done. How come Bowlsby didn't get it done, then?

My first game was 1975, Illinois at Iowa.The Tiger Hawk didn't even exist then but I remember thinking, shouldn't that be black and gold, or have the old flying Herky?

He should have too.

My first game was in ‘68 or ‘69. I have never once looked at the water tower and thought it should be painted, or have a Hawkeye logo.

In fact, I rarely even look at it.

Not happy until old herky is painted on the other side

Interesting contrast. I'm guessing we're about the same age...yet I've always thought it would be cool..if not a no-brainer, to see the Tiger Hawk up there. Blank canvas staring down at the stadium.

Maybe you would look at it if they painted it

The hospital finally agreed to it due to all the positive national publicity they've received from The Wave.

Could be. I know UIHC has been struggling to make a name for itself.

 

[Herkmeister]

May I just say I liked Bump and he didn’t get it done either.

 

[hawkcub]

Barta didn't do jack. This was about Herrald getting it done. Barta even said as much.

 

[Hawk68]

My first game was in 1953 and the did not even have the damn tower. (<: (to my now limited recollection)

 

[Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia]

I don't care if Gary goes up and paints the SOB himself, I still want him gone.

Me too, he’s the Black Plague of Iowa Athletics... he should write a book on how to single handily destruct a football team and athletics in general

Thanks again to Gary Barta and also Captain Kirk

GO HAWKS

Yah-he should be up for sainthood with the millions of dollars he cost the university over the discrimination fiasco. Great guy doing a great job.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I can’t believe some people are falling for the idea that this is some serious complaint from the fans.

I can...............

 

[kentadel]

Gary needs to get on the stick and work on getting the Big 12 on equal footing on income.

 

[unoHawkeye]

When was the first time that Barta came through?

Hey man, it's not easy to give the correct performance evaluation year after year after year. I often find myself struggling to remember to put down how terrible one of my direct reports does and how difficult they are to work with.

Pretty easy to space out come review time and give them high marks, like most competent administrators and supervisors would tell you.

Great baseball coach. That's about it

 

[unoHawkeye]

Good call

Great baseball coach. That's about it

On a similar topic, he'd be "coming through" if he canned the softball coach

 

[IowaNiceHawk]

Then, it's settled. Thanks to Gary Barta and Captain Kirk for finally getting this through the bureaucrat regime over across the street from the
Mecca of College Football.

GO HAWKS !!!

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

I’ll give some Barta credit when he schedules Georgia or GA Tech to a home and home series to help recruit Georgia kids to Iowa.....and play between the hedges!

 

[4th & 9 inches]

All that's settled is that not many fans support Gary Barta these days, as evident by this thread.

Sycophant much?

Agree! I really appreciate Barta getting this done. Gary has done a lot of good things for the Hawks. This should be good enough to warrant AD for LIFE!

 

[doughuddl2]

Thanks Gary!

 

[IowaNiceHawk]

THANKS from all the HAWKEYE Fans who wanted this done, Mr Barta !!

GO HAWKS
