Jamie is handing out Twitter justice!

Barta than celebrated by firing a female employee because this is a man's world dammit!
good fans probably shouldn't be ******** either. Kind of like the football fans that post comments on the official Iowa State football facebook account. The football communication people will post the score at the quarter or something like that. And there are usually more than a few Iowa State fans that decide that commenting about how bad they think the football team is is a good idea.
Look, do I think this is some great thing that Jamie does? No. I would prefer that he didn't engage. But overall, I can live with it.
Pollard is great, he isn't perfect but without question one of the best AD's in the country. People that think otherwise have no idea what they are talking about.
I have no problem with him flipping some people some s**t. After awhile, a guy gets tired of all the idiots emailing and tweeting.

It's not an attack, it's a factual comment on your intellect and reasoning skills.
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.
Man that truly was the best... Being able to personally interact with Bruce was truly a treat.
Its amazing that Bruce got anything done at all with having to post on 4 cyclone sites constantly. But yeah lets all pretend to be embarrassed about Jamie sending a tweet at some nothing donor.
And what is a good fan exactly? I'm not doing cartwheels over the hire. Does that make me a "bad" fan. Given the bunker mentality that permeates that athletics office, I would say I am in their eyes. But they sure as hell will be willing to cash my check this spring when renewal time comes around.
If you don't toe the line and throw 100% of your support behind everything JP does then apparently you aren't a real fan and he doesn't need you supporting Iowa State. That's basically what I got out of this.
I didn't suggest that the fan "couldn't stop supporting it for whatever reason they want". Don't support it then. But why send accusations, threats, etc? Having said that, I agree, it would be nice if both guys could have handled it privately. Good 'ole social media strikes again.
I doubt that. Now people are making blanket statements beyond necessary. Its just people and life. You know.....kinda like the same people that I have sat by at some ISU basketball games who ridicule coaches and players for every mistake yet show up in their ISU gear like they're the best fans ever. I've often wanted to say something to them, but know better.
I'm not saying I agree specifically with the way that guy is acting, and I am not part of the customer is always right crowd. I don't think Jamie needs to placate the guy just because he's not excited about the hire. I think he is best just ignoring those things.
