An ISU message board dedicated to Iowa.

That you think anybody cares about Iowa truly shows what a small dicked moron you are
You’re absolutely trolling. You’re a worthless rotten insecure piece of ****.
You sure love to talk about the Cyclones on said message board. Rent free, sport.
As I said, you may be the most worthless of the ********** hawk fans that infest this place. And that bar has been set very low.
You’re an ignorant insecure little child.
Definitely. I don't care what fan base you're talking about, there are idiots everywhere, and it's the AD's job to fix those incidents. It's not about ISU fans and it's not about Iowa fans either. At our tailgate I had an Iowa State fan try to steal our bags on our bag set, while I had an Iowa fan almost stumble in and knock our TV over. I didn't blame either fan base, rather I blamed the person.
If there was a slur yelled, or something thrown at a band member, this should have been handled behind closed doors. Especially given that it was not something that went viral or anything like that where the public was involved from the get-go. Now, if there was someone who like got into a fight or messed up their instrument, now it's a different story.
It’s their super bowl mantra. They need your affirmation.
It’s a big advantage for them in the game each year.
Because your AD is heavily investigating a possible diet coke thrown or a swear word directed at members of the Iowa Marching Band. Lol. I mean let's be honest, if it were anything bigger than that this would've already came to a head.
The South is different than Iowa IMO
Those two things are not even in the same universe. Big difference between an AD and random whiners on twitter. Such an official statement is unprofessional no matter if the accusations are right or wrong (wait for evidence, joint statement if true)
Basically Barta just used his megaphone in the same way as a random twitter whiner. Except Barta isn't a random twitter whiner.
Obviously we don't have all the facts of everything that is going on. But maybe Barta reached out to Pollard to try and keep this in house and didn't get the response he wanted so he went public. Either way, this better be something really serious to garner such an official statement. With Barta's past actions as AD, I'm not holding my breath for that.
On the new this morning they stated a band member got punched and some band members were groped/inappropriately touched.
If that is true, those individuals should be ashamed of themselves and held accountable.

Stop bringing the bands. I've heard stories from former ISU band members about the abuse they took when they went to Iowa. Not just cursing, but throwing things at the band members etc. I'm sure it happens both ways. It's stupid that you let your rivals band perform on your home field.
For some perspective, I was sitting with a guy from Sweden during the game. It was his first football experience. He was amazed at how little trouble there was with opposing fans cheering their team and couldn't believe the opposing band was playing on the field. He said there would have been a riot if that happened at a soccer match back home.

That's the key. If it was really anyone/any school other than him I don't think there would be this type of response. I also don't know of a lot of schools that would still employ him TBH.
The thing is even if that was the case Barta has seriously mishandled this. If that happened it is serious and actions should be taken against the responsible party. That said don’t send out a gauge press release before any investigation can happen.
Another intelligent response. The fact that you are so angry at a football game, and an election speaks loudly to you, not to me.
