Which is fine. Honestly, I've never understood the need to bring the band but if I'm JP I absolutely remove those seats from the allocation just as a big middle finger to Barta.

I think this is the beginning of the end for the CyHawk series.
Trying to understand the groping thing here. If the students that supposedly did this were hammered how would it be possible to distinguish male from female. Especially when they all look a lot alike these uniforms. Are band uniforms unisex?
I think Barta's grand plan is to not have the bands travel for this game. First move, Barta sticks the all ISU Band in the NE corner of the upper deck. His next move was to complain about the inappropriate behavior the hawk band received. Coincidence? I don't think so.

I highly doubt any fan sexually assaulted an Iowa band member. Some drunk idiot might've put their hands on someone and they're using a vague term to describe that.
I know for a fact that a band member was physically assaulted and suffered fractured ribs from the incident.
Are we 100% sure here it wasn't an Iowa fan who did it before we place blame again?
I think the abuse of the Iowa band is entirely possible. I witnessed a group of four Iowa State fans (wearing ISU shirts) who screamed "F*** Iowa" at two Iowa fans (wearing Iowa shirts) in the Hy-Vee parking lot in west Ames around 10:30 Saturday morning. This behavior was disgusting. The Iowa fans were just minding their own business. I apologized to the Iowa fans for the crude behavior of the ISU fans.
On the other hand, I've been at Kinnick wearing my school's colors (not ISU or for an ISU game) and the same thing was screamed at us by Iowa fans. We are proud of our school and wanted to support it by attending the game. We were just minding our own business, but as a consequence of our experience, we will never go back to Kinnick.
The behavior of fans at many college venues has really deteriorated over the 60 years or so we've been going to football games. Though we are ISU fans and supporters of the university, we have observed fans who have been rude, crude and downright despicable to the point where we will not attend football games any longer.
And, before someone writes that I am not tough enough, or "can't take it," I was an officer in the US military for over 20 years. I don't need someone to question my mental or physical toughness.

Okay so "groped" is not the correct term then. Groped usually refers to someone trying to come onto someone else. Physically assault is a completely different term and if that's what happened, it should be called out as such. Also, if that did actually happen I hope they find that person and never allow him/her back into JTC.
I’ve had glass bottles thrown at me, full cans of beer, and raw hamburger. Never reported any of it but now wishing I would have.
Link? Right now, all you've got is hearsay.
If true, this means that there are either incredibly dishonest or incredibly illogical people running the show in Iowa City.
No we aren't sure who exactly did it but I'd doubt an Iowa fan fought their own band member. However I also wouldn't think someone from Iowa would steal Iowa players electronics at JTS either.
