It was strange, really. As I got close to him, my eyes lit up the way most people's do when they recognize someone but can't place quite how or why they know them. Without hesitation, Barta gave me a little smirk and a nod that came off as so smug, I had to fight myself not to mock him. He just had this "damn right, I'm Gary Barta, the Athletic Director who's wasting your tuition on Coach Ferentz" look on his face.
What struck me as particularly funny is that he must flash this look 20 times a day. He's not exactly just another face on campus, especially after the recent ups and downs of Hawkeye athletics. He's probably used to random college kids walking by with that same "hey, I know you," look in their eyes.
Also, I couldn't help but think of this video when Barta hit me up with his smug fumes.
much respect,
josh
