Amusing, but not surprising that there will be those who want to keep on ******* that chicken.
And on the very day that a Cyclone fan set out to raise more than a million dollars for the kid's hospital on their campus. They are so much trash. They deserve all the ridicule coming their way for this.

Oddly, maybe Barta actually handled this decently for once.
Barta was dumb and released the initial press release based on some reports he was hearing.
Upon initial investigation, he found that the band decided to ignore directions and proceeded to aggressively and loudly ram its way into a crowd.
Knowing this doesnt look great for the Iowa band, maybe this is why Barta did what he could to close the book on the matter.
But some HMB members decided to blow it back up on social media and that ****** that up.
I think I may sit this one out next year. Iowa City is going to be more vitriol than ever.
Be careful hoks; you may have the doctors and dentists, but we've got the SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY!
I would be pissed if I was the state of Iowa taxpayer. UI just wasted a **** load of peoples time by the mismanagement from your president and AD. If I pissed away my CEO's time(12-days) over something that should be managed behind closed doors, I would be looking for a new job.
Yea, and that is the real problem here. This is going to do nothing but ratchet up the bad parts of the rivalry. This is how the game gets cancelled for 30 years. I say we preempt this and JP gets on the phone with Wisconsin or similar. And demand the $1 million from TOE.
Why cant we see the video? Where chris williams at you know he will get the copy once jamie decides to release it.
When I heard this I thought of the scene from Animal House where the band is marching right into a brick wall!
They also have lawyers and fail to seek legal counsel in situations like this.
Security cam footage of the Iowa band trying to leave the field - the wall assaulted them!
That video will eventually be made public through the Freedom of Information Act...
I tried to find that GIF when I posted, but couldn't. Love it!Security cam footage of the Iowa band trying to leave the field - the wall assaulted them!
It's not likely becoming a cultural problem. It's MUCH more likely social media is bringing the negative aspects to our doorsteps, thus presenting the 'appearance' it's becoming a cultural problem. Personally, I think the lack of responsibility of news media for reporting actual news instead of 'allegations' is the problem. But then again 'sensationalism' to the degree of misinformation is the 'new' media model. Truly sad.
I'm hearing rumors that the I35/Hwy 30 flyover bridge made lewd gestures at the marching band bus on it's way back t Iowa City.
They're also upset that Campbell's not going anywhere soon and as long as he's here, the game is going to be competitive. I bet we finally break through next year.
That is not an excuse for how Iowa handled any of this though. LOL Iowa just provided a classic example of "how not to use social media 101"
