I hate Iowa, but I hope you're joking, those are probably normal motions they do when the fight song is played. You really think all the sousaphones were making a synchronized attempt at hitting our fans?

I hope you're joking. You don't make those motions in a shoulder to shoulder crowd of people trying to exit. You also dont play period.

Bingo. No one is condoning any type of assault but that video sure looks like "we're iowa and we do what we want because we're entitled, now get the hell out of our way"
No, Iowa and most of their fans are condoning assault and aggression by the Iowa band .

He never said they did it on purpose. But if you're going to force your way into a crowded area while trolling opposing fans with your fight song, you better ******* recognize that the song you're playing requires tuba players to swing their tubas wildly in said crowded area.

Not exactly sure.
When you get down to get. Iowa band starts something, victims would he fans trying to leave them north west exit and then victim blame the fans and say the fans seen victim blaming them. Sounds like a fry thing.

Are you suggesting they aren't capable of playing their fight song without swinging their instruments around?

1:09 mark you can see the front the band is well into the crowd and the band members are clearly swinging their instruments as they play... What could go wrong?

No one is suggesting they were purposely trying to hit anyone, but c'mon, maybe NOT play your fight song and swing your instruments while trying to get through a highly congested area. Common sense here.

Murph and Andy just keep looking for ways to make this possibly the fans fault. Can't listen anymore. I'll turn it back on at 4pm. Murph is usually pretty even keeled but perhaps just isn't cynical enough.

Well to be fair, if our fans did do this, it is their fault. I honestly think they're trying to see it from both sides as much as possible. Bottom line, don't force your band to march thru pissed off fans if you care about their safety.

Nah, there's a time and a place. In that tight of a crowd, it is at best unwise to do that.

So Iowa’s band was acting like a bunch of obnoxious douchebags? Shocker for that fan base.

I mean who just plows through a group of people, blasting music, and expects no push back. **** them.
