Jamie is handing out Twitter justice!

[cycloneworld]

Agree. It's pretty obvious the athletic department has a crew on here that routinely praises JP for everything he does and attacks anybody that posts even a hint of criticism. Don't think that's by accident and is likely part of a pr agenda. It's really sad that after making what looks like a great hire that has everybody excited, JP once again chooses to go the low road as he's done before. I was hoping JP was growing in the job and was a bigger man than that by now. His mouth really is a problem for him.

I guess I am part of that crew (still waiting on my instructions and paycheck from the AD though). Conversely, there is a group of people who will criticize Pollard for anything that he does. Guess what, if you say stupid **** on social media you should be prepared for a response.

I think JP is emotional and has an ego. Why is that a terrible thing? I love how we want coaches and ADs to speak their minds instead of standard coach-speak. But once they do, they get killed by some people. Makes no sense.

Pollard needs to act like a professional. He has an inability to stay above the fray and quite frankly is an embarrassment

 

[RedDog]

Here's JP...

"I just hired a coach because the one I originally hired failed! Boom! Suck it doubters!"

Let the billboard go man.

 

[F5cy]

I remember when Jamie hired Freddy. A LOT of people hated it but pretty much everyone was bought in after Fred's initial press conference. There is nothing wrong with that imo. People need to see what Jamie saw in the coach before they can buy in.

I think both parties come off looking bad in this little twitter exchange, but in the end it's not a big deal.

Except one has 26 followers.

Just when you think the idiocy has reached rock bottom, someone says something more stupid. We should really have a thread for worst posts ever, this would be top 5 for sure. Made me laugh though.

 

[D UP Clones]

Exactly. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure the Hawkeye athletic department has people posting on here trying get cyclone fans to get rid of a good athletic director.

Any time really positive things happen...like they usually do under Pollard...some Hawk staffer shows up to go off on a tweet.

That would explain the Iowa City IP addresses of some "Cyclone" fans busted earlier this year.

cyclone staff members?.. lol

 

[ISUCY23]

Well considering I don't pay attention to or care about what other AD's tweet or what other AD's personalities are you'll probably be waiting a while. I care that our current AD defends my school.

He's not defending ISU. He's just making himself look like a ******.

Damn, i guess i need to update my address because my check hasn't been coming to the house.

[If you aren't part of the Athletic Department crew don't read the following] please private message me instructions on how to get that paycheck. Also some courtside bball tickets would be nice.

people say JP has thin skin, but it amazes me how many people get emabarrassed by a tweet that has nothing to do with them.

Another Hawk chiming in... lol... conspiracy!

It's an embarrassment as a Hawkeye fan? If a rivals fan base doesn't like your AD he must be doing a good job. I love Barta and think he's a terrific ambassador for the U of I.

Stick to the rivals section

 

[Wesley]

Wait, CF conspiracy theory? I admit, I work for the AD.

So Mr Work for the AD, who is our next DC?

 

[ISUCY23]

I don't really give a **** what the other guy said. He is not the one being paid to represent Iowa State University. Pollard is. I expect more out of him than some random fan.

Barta is kissing KF butt for saving his gig for another year.

 

[CyFan61]

Love Chris Hassel tweeting this out so the anonymous Hawkeye accounts can rip Pollard. Funny how Hassel has become way more of a Hawkeye homer since leaving WHO and going to ESPN. He fits right in with the quality of that network.

Shouldn't the Hawks have something else to focus upon rather than worrying about JP's twitter?

Hassel is a hawk and is an idiot. He always has been both of those.

Never understood how anyone could listen to him.. arrogance personified.

 

[kingcy]

Doesn't he have anything better to do?

I like Jamie but his ******* off good fans over something stupid really bugs me.

 

[bellzisu]

Many I really do miss the days when our previous AD Bruce would just come on CF and set everyone straight. He would of responded 20 times to a thread like this.
