Program needs a reset.

Fire everyone.

Barta, Dolph, Fran, entire Marketing Dept, guy serving ice cream, Everyone!

No, we need more people selling ice cream, not less!

Big donors for Iowa athletics don’t seem to care about having a winning basketball program. If they cared, there would be more pressure to remove the inept Gary Barta.

Brommelkamp reported during the Dolphin fiasco, that the big donors met with Herrald and he sided with Barta.

Shooting <28% from the field. Middle school kids don't shoot that bad.

They have literally become unwatchable. Up and down the lineup, just absolutely awful.

I DVR all the games, and this was the fastest one yet to watch. Fast Forwarded and it was worse every time I stopped, and it was horrible watching the beginning in real time. They have been essentially a D2 team for this awful stretch to get prepped for the tournament. Unbelievable how an entire team can become so inept all at once. SMH

Like in an auto race with 4 flat tires.

They’ll beat Nebraska and/or one of the bottom four in the BTT and you’ll see posters here scolding the OP for his rashness and shortsightedness. Hahahahaha

About a third of our fans want to believe so badly that this sixty year old man with disturbing anger issues is really a late blooming potential legend and just needs a little more time to prove it.

Another third strongly suspect that this is as good as it gets but nevertheless believes that asking for more will result in certain, swift, and terrible punishment from the basketball gods. (see The Book of Davis 2:4-10 describing the Plague of Likliter).

The final ‘golden year$’ third values stability and a nice quiet place to eat ice cream above all else.

Yep me too. The whole second half at 2X speed.

 

[Hawk fan in MN]

BS, Iowa women are the real deal and the fans need to show their support when hosting the first two rounds.

Great point

I wish I could like this more than once... Well, maybe I could, but I don't have time for creating new handles just to do it.

I'm starting to think there's no point in waiting. He's a terrible coach, his kids are punks that won't make any difference anywhere (they're mid-major players at best, Connor can go play baseball for all I care), and he cannot assemble a roster to do anything that he philosophically wishes to do.
