During the "F$%@ Bohannon" game, my 13 year old step-daughter asked me why they were saying that. During a timeout, I gave her a brief history (including "the shoes" story, the "fight" story, and his general reputation as a jerk dating back to his days at Linn-Mar). She replied "Linn-Mar! Bohannon went to Linn-Mar! That's all I needed to know. I hate him!"

Awesome!
I was at the Haluska returns game in cyclone alley. He heard some quite profane things that night. Lol

Thank you for the hand. Everybody is pushing a brother down. The song is weird. It makes Iowans look weird. When it is played during a bball game we look stupid.

Was it really ever that popular?

It was epic first time, I've not experienced it live, so can't comment on tradition, but the song blows.

A lot of things we do suck. However, at least none of them suck as much as Baylor fans doing that Bear claw thing with their hands. So as long as we never get that bad, I’m fine.

Also can we get the old lighting back at Hilton? That’s my gripe

I’ll burn this thread: In Heaven There Is No Beer is 1000x better than any chant/song/type thing we have, and I’m quite jealous of it
IHTINB and I..O..W..A..

Are First track A side B side of collegiate chant greatest hits.

Tip of the cap.

Not exactly sure.

Gigging frogs is bad. It looks like a group of nursing home folks showing off their arthritis.

You know, no one else can have a better tradition than us if we just steal all the other traditions. *Sarcastic* I'm down for Metallica as the team enters the field and throwing tortillas out there every time I'm pissed off.

You don't want to wave your arm in a circle and say Cyclones UP?
I sent an email to Steve Machlow (sp?) with an idea of having a gigantic blender in the student section.

The idea went that pregame, Cy would shove an effigy of the opposing mascot into the blender, spraying the student section with cardinal war paint, covering their face/torso.

Kind of like a family friendly version Nickelodeon slime meets Apocolypto.

I never did get a response.

You know Hawkeyes believe they invented In Heaven There is no Beer? Honestly.

Also, that, and polkas in general, suck major balls.

I love polkas. On Saturday mornings before ISU games in the field I listen to Super C (KCZY -Cresco) Polka Party with my morning coffee. My favorite fall tradition.

I have to go to the Duncan ballroom for many weddings and other things since my wife is originally from that area. Polka non stop, I'm deep German heritage, and nobody in my family for as long as I have known has liked polkas.
