Iowa buys firekirkferentz.com and firegarybarta.com

I think it's funny that they already owned FireLisaBluder.com. She's one of their better and more respectable coaches. If Hawk fans want to axe even her, they're just out for anybody's blood, I guess.
 
Picture doesn't show it, but I'm positive there was a Natural Light in Kaptain Kirk's hand?? Possibly one in each hand!!

You want to know how I found CF before it got full blown to what it is today? I looked up firewaynemorgan.com and was forwarded to Jeremy's page. I even sent him a halfway nasty email about how he shouldn't have bought the domain name just to spare a lousy coach or something like that and instead I get an email back from him offering if I wanted to write an article for his site! Ha!

Seriously though, Ferentz is fine, Bluder used to be a big name coach but she definately has not lived up to the hype or expectations at Iowa. Gary Barta, he's going to become the next Bruce Van DeVelde with fans if he keeps up his current pace. Will be interesting if he's offered an extension after his 3 year deal is up but I've heard some early grumblings from people close to the Iowa program that he might not be offered an extension.

So far with Alford, Barta needs to "crap or get off the pot" anymore because he's had every reason to can the guy since he's taken over and he hasn't taken advantage. Who cares about the buyout, raise some FB ticket prices or something to help cover it. If they raised prices by about $25 a season ticket they sold 42000 general public season tickets which would bring in an additional $1.05 million in ticket sales. Tack on a small increase in the 4000 current and former faculty season ticket sales as well as the 10,000+ student tickets and you easily cover the yearly buyout. Plus as we know universities have reserve funds which we used to buyout Morgan and McCarney so they don't really even have to raise FB prices too much to cover it. The change in coach alone might sell some more BB season tickets too.
 
Fire Steve Alford has been around for 4 years. It was dormant last year because they won 25 games, and actually won a big game or two, now they are back in force.
 
If Iowa fans really wanted to get rid of Golden Boy just find a way to get him at a party with College Co-Eds, Natty Light, and a camera and problem solved :) Maybe instead of Natty Light they could have PBR or Milwaukee's Best or something just to change it up a little...
 
dunksondydunk.com was the best Iowa based website ever. Not sure if it's still up or not.
 
Back when I started this sit, I had also bought firewaynemorgan.com to direct people here as travman stated above. To me it was a way to let people know that both sides of the debate deserve to be heard and I didn't want a site just tearing down the MBB program but rather to direct those upset people to a place to give constructive criticism. I think UI is probably doing the right thing as Iowa fans are as fair-weather as you get and they'd turn on Kirk and Gary quicker than you could imagine.
 
all around they've had a down year. Now it's a witch-hunt.

even Ferentz (whom even I generally like and respect) is not off-limits. C'mon Squawks!!! get w/ it!
 
just when I think the iowa hawkeyes and their dwindling fanbase can't get ANY dumber...they go and TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!!!

This is borderline mental retardation type of dumb on both sides...I am just happy to see iowa's athletic programs going down the tubes bcuz they deserve nothing less for being the big 10's worst fans...AGAIN.
 
Maybe ISU should pay for Alford's contract. It would give us one more win every year and continue to make Iowa look like the second rate basketball program that it is. It would also most likely increase our fanbase. Seriously, who watches Iowa basketball? Not hawk fans according to the attendance. "Go Hawk's Nest!....NOT" -Borat
 
It seems the DM Rag has picked up on this story today.
"University of Iowa buys negative domain names"

Two points on that:

1. Does the Rag get it's story ideas here? Or why are they always a couple of days late?

2. Me thinks EIU is a little scared.
I can see SA, but they seem to be jumping the gun on the rest.
