This picture is a bit misleading. Someone had just asked the gentleman how many touchdowns they've scored this year.
It looks like his other hand is doing the same gesture. Maybe he was asked how many safeties they've scored.
Maybe somewhat. Sometimes you can call that stuff "an outlier" or whatever. but there does seem to be an allowed pattern that occurs in IC, more often than it should. That pattern could and should be curtailed and condemned, whenever it surfaces, by the higher ups. You know, the coaches, AD, President, announcers, refs, etc.
It just doesn't seem to be condemned often enough. Maybe I'm just not hearing it or seeing it. If not condemned, it becomes an accepted culture.
That would be a hawkeye, someone who can't count.
I was in the North EZ, where most of the action was. After the X TD I saw at least 4 beer cans and 2 water bottles, not all of them made the playing surface. Otherwise I had a pretty good experience, had not been in Kinnick since Tim Dwight played... Some dipsticks behind us whaling at the refs for every call/non call in the game...
My biz partner has been a fan since he was little, used to go watch through some wood fence in the early 70s when he was a kid. His dad was a prof there.
He says he won't be watching anymore this year, it's just too ugly and hopeless. He went into the season without much hope because of Petras, but it's just unwatchable for him at this point.
He spent saturday golfing and skipped the game entirely.
I kept repeating Chris' line to him "You watch. Petras is gonna be Joe Montana on Saturday." My buddy kept saying "I DON'T want that to happen because we need to bench him!"
Problem is that the rain ponchos and rain coats for both teams (and there were several people wearing them the whole time) were both yellow. So it made it hard to tell to me.
It was a couple water bottles and pry a beer or two. It was definitely more than one beer.
To be honest, if I had to explain to a radio audience Iowa's offense as it "happened" I'd have to be drunk to get through it.
The game experience for me wasn't horrible this year in Iowa City, but as others have stated I think a good amount of it was because of Iowa fans knowing the Iowa offense was trash.
Tailgating was good besides just some normal back and forth between a few hawk fans.
The stadium was interesting but I expected worse honestly. I had a real drunk girl keep telling me she was sorry when the two block punts happened which I laughed at. Had a group behind me yell scoreboard at me when Iowa finally scored a touchdown and flipped me off a good amount. After X scored the touchdown at the end I just turned around and threw up an X symbol and said X gonna give it to ya. Had some friendly banter with some others.
Worst part was some guy getting right in my face in the bathroom and yelling F State This was mostly bad because he smelled like he hadn't showered in a week.
As far as sound off goes, it is a little much that it runs for 3 hrs but, I do find it funny to listen to for a bit. I hope they keep it on as it passes time sometimes on a drive home.

Do we want to discuss prohibition of alcohol at Trice? I for one feel like 'maybe' it should be allowed, because it might make the AD some money, and people are gonna smuggle it in anyway.
On the other hand, look at Iowa City and Kinnick. So I don't know. It'd be nice if all people who imbibe to a reasonable degree with alcohol, would just play and be nice. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
I get happy, sometimes chatty, sometimes mellow, when I drink. A certain percentage of people lose their minds and become aggressive.
Parents, yes, and good coaches very likely.
