If they didn't... they would have been crucified all over the Iowa media and social media.
I haven't set foot in Kinnick since 04. I will never go back. Just a hellhole of aholes.
Others have said this... and I'll take the flack.. I was born 3 months premature at UI childrens hospital IC. The wave is one of the best things they have done and is genuine. But for some reason I still have this feeling that Duke Slater, The Wave (to a lesser extent) and ANF just come off as virtue signaling. It's like they expect everyone to say "look at us we are special!"
Did not hear a lot of cheering when they introduced Fran and company with their B1G tourney championship rings. Anyone see JBo around?
Tailgated west of the Gerdin Athletic Learning center. Great group of hawk fans around us. We were close enough to walk to the BarStool show. That was hilarious!! Guy just railed on the hawks and how bad they were. Typical hawk fashion they started chucking crap at the people on stage. Even hit a gal with a can of beer!

When you're chucking bottles your accuracy falls off sharply when you're ****-faced.
I have no problem with booing your own players. With NIL money these guys are pros now. This isn’t little league.
The wave is a great tradition, but they've milked it dry. I'm not sure it's entirely their fault as it's a marketing dream. So you get everyone trying to cash in. A lot of Iowa fans I know are sick of the overboard hype, but the typical casuals will buy Wave merchandise, pat themselves on the back, and never set foot in Iowa City per usual.
I guess when you lose the game, you have to resort to "well we have a call-in show" smack. There is nothing dorkier than a couple of Hawk tools bragging about their own call-in show like anyone cares.
I saw like 5 ads for it but how the hell is BTN gonna milk an HOUR documentary on the First Wave?
Have to interview IC people and University people on how they came up that shaking your hand is waving. The different styles they have and such since Iowa invented waving.
They'll find a way if they can make Illinois-Rutgers sound like somebody cares.
Honestly, sat in section 127, row 76 and I really enjoyed it! I sat next to some great people and for the must part we were all laughing together at what a **** show the game was. When Petras was boo'ed in intros, my dad and I who were both in Cyclone gear, were pretty floored. I said something along the likes of 'That was harsh' and the guy behind me said 'So is our offense'.
I had a good experience, even after the game a few drunk students came up to us and said 'Good game, but still F State' but was still just friendly ribbing.
The crowd did get rowdy a few times, specifically at the refs. They were REALLY pissed they didn't review the diving catch out of bounds, they were pissed at thier fumble, bitched about the shove out of bounds, and then they all wanted offensive PI on X's TD.

I like that they have officially adopted the style of offensive play from the Duke Slater era after naming the field. True commitment on their part to honor Duke.
Punting is winning!! Had to chuckle at all those shirts. Nice gimmick.
I guess the saying “Fight for Iowa” is legit. Did see one in the stands and a drunken 21 year old Hawk girl by the parking ramp wanted to start one with me. I laughed at her. Her friends were apologizing to me about her state of drunkenness.

Is it normal to sing the National Anthem with the opponent still waiting in the tunnel to the field?
Same experience. That was my 8th (maybe?) isu game In Kinnick and by far the most civil I can ever recall. Walked down melrose to get to the donor lots where we tailgated, I don’t even recall a “go hawks” being yelled out. Lots of Iowa state fans present. Really
Nothing negative to report at all.
