  • Cal commented on the blog post Barta on CFB Live: No more FCS schools   1 week, 1 day ago · View

    Also, for Barta to claim that UNI and SDSU beats Big Ten schools is like trying to pull wool over the eyes. Does he think we can’t see a 1-17 record that UNI holds. SDSU beat Minnesota who traditionally is not a good team either. What a joke. ESPN basically called him out. Barta handled [...]

  • Cal commented on the blog post Barta on CFB Live: No more FCS schools   1 week, 1 day ago · View

    I went to Iowa, I understand Iowa’s financial impact, I give money to the program, I understand business and I also understand an average at best AD that promotes FCS competition on ESPN. Please take note of a winner like Barry Alvarez. I can’t believe that Barta went on ESPN and flat out embarrassed Iowa [...]

    Scheduling UNI= lose, lose. We win, we are suppose to. We lose, end of all, world is collapsing. Regardless if NDSU or UNI is competitive, there are plenty other D1 schools that should be scheduled ahead of these teams. Basketball, baseball and other sports have the ability to schedule 30 plus games per year and [...]

    Sanji–your negative postings are now becoming comical in how much you hate Iowa football. I would suggest maybe another team to follow.

    I would say that G. Davis’ NC Ring would justify he is at least decent at what he does.

    Pete, you are wrong. Way off and wrong. MSU actually was a sinking ship and terrible calls kept them in the game. I think was obvious. I am not one to blame officiating, but lets be honest, that was really bad.

  • Cal commented on the blog post Tough calls tough to take for Iowa   2 months ago · View

    This game was ultimately decided by the worst officiated game I have watched while watching Iowa for over 20 years. I would hope the press, The Gazette or a Big Ten Official would step in an ultimately call this out. Please stop sugar coating this. This literally has to stop because although MSU had a [...]

    Easy fellas. Looks like that kid from Mizzouri (Blain I think) a couple years back. Tall, good feet, accurate ball…all good features. Excited about this guy.

  • Cal commented on the blog post Iowa-ISU at risk in 10-game Big Ten schedule?   3 months ago · View

    Jay fits the typical ISU Fan which I expected. ISU Fans can say what they want, but in reality this is really a lose lose situation for Iowa. Iowa has significant downside if they lose this game and zero upside if they win. No matter how you slice it, this is the case. I applaud [...]

  • Cal commented on the blog post Iowa-Nebraska lobby for Black Friday game to stay   3 months, 2 weeks ago · View

    Tom, close but it is from Billy Madison. Great Line. Also, wischalk makes an excellent point. If you want to put your tail between your legs and hide because of two bad seasons, your not thinking correctly. This an an ABC National broadcast where only two teams in the nation are playing at that time. [...]

    Paul, what you’ve just said … is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no [...]

  • As much of a positive spin Mike is giving this article, I think any Iowa fan can read between the lines on this subject.

  • Cal commented on the blog post Iowa ‘did just about everything to lose this game’   4 months ago · View

    Did I read correctly that MSU had 4 fouls in the second half? Wow…somethings gotta give. I would imagine 4 fouls in the first 5 minutes with an Izzo defense.

  • Cal commented on the blog post Never a clear look for Garmon   5 months ago · View

    Oh whats the saying….once is an accident, twice is a coincidence and now 17 times is a trend. Our lack of athletes has significantly hurt us (aka 2012) and loosing players like Garmon hurt regardless how you slice it. People bash KF for not playing freshman and now when he does, they still leave! Hmmm…. [...]

  • Cal commented on the blog post Iowa AD ponders ‘Black Friday’ football decision   5 months, 2 weeks ago · View

    Honestly, Barta just does not get it. I live in California and watched Kinnick on the Friday after Thanksgiving on a Nationally televised ABC game and he is worried about logistics of family traveling to Kinnick? Not recruiting, not national exposure, not the fact they were the ONLY team playing at that time?! Barta is [...]

    This is going to be a lot closer than everyone thinks. I think 3-0 over the last 3 years is a trend, not a coincidence. In heaven there is no beer…..

  • Cal commented on the blog post Vandenberg: ‘None of that stuff really bothers me’   6 months, 3 weeks ago · View

    I just don’t get this entire argument. Sports is based upon performance. If you are not productive, next man in. JVB has thrown terrible passes, inaccurate,bad completion %, terrible TD-Int Ratio, quick to collapse under pressure and statistically the worst passer in the B1G. If this was ANY other B1G team, this would be a [...]

    This president will go down as the most ‘liked’ president with zero results and essentially no valued added in the long term. Unfortunately he doesn’t get that being respected is much more important for what we need as a leader of this great nation. When leaders don’t produced, they are fired. I just wish American’s [...]

    Ohhhh, the humanity! Sub-par at best. This jersey goes next to the America Needs Farmers original trophy.

    Dear Mr. Barta,
    I am applying for the open position of Marketing Director for the University Throwback Jersey Committee.
    Thank you,
