Jamie Pollard vows to look into allegations of fan misconduct at Saturday's Cy-Hawk game

What trees? That campus barely even has any grass, let alone trees.

Ok let's just poison their water.

Ok let's just poison their water.

Please don't joke about things like that.

Let's say this is proven to be a ruse. How do you hold U of I and Barta responsible for this? Surely you cant just let them continue with **** like this or they're going to continue to take advantage of the situation.

Cat's out of the bag even if not true and Hok fans will ride this for a long time.

I'd be willing to bet there's still many out there that think it was ISU fans stealing from the locker rooms.

Kind of that 'Windmills cause cancer' type of narrative.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Rank this one right up there with the malicious attack on Cordell Pemsl.

Never forget!

 

[BoxsterCy]

Please don't joke about things like that.

The water in the midwest is already poisoned.

I have no doubt that some things were probably said and maybe some things were thrown. That's bad fan behavior...just like what the ISU band endures every year in IC. But something like that should be handled between the ADs and not in the press. We've seen numerous stories from ISU band members about all kinds of crap in IC. I'm sure that Pollard was informed and maybe he even said something to Barta about it, but there was no need for a press release.

If this is proven false or overblown, you have to restrict the UI band from coming in 2021. I think that is the most appropriate response

Of course, you could go the Barta route and send an email out to the Big10 warning them of Iowa's tendencies for false accusations. But I'd like to think we'd be above that.

This is a picture of the K-State band forming a ku jayhawk eating a schlong. This may be the most classic move by a marching band in history.

I think a new formation for the ISUCFVMB is in order

 

[NWICY]

Barta....this is how you actually do your job. Maybe you should follow Jamie around for a week or two. Might actually learn something.

Only disagreed because I like Barta just the way he is .

 

[NWICY]

Agree. I actually had a nice brief conversation with him on Saturday during the second delay. Now I just feel dirty.

So your the trouble maker.

 

[OnlyCyclones]

When we beat Iowa in basketball two years ago, Pemsl crashed into the stands and a few students fell on top of him. That video was dissected on a millisecond basis by Iowa fans / Iowa media members trying to prove that those students were in fact stomping on him. It's common practice.

This is feature of a core element of their collective psyche, cognitive dissonance. They are both masters of the realm and victims of everything at the same time. Simultaneous superiority and inferiority complex, made worse by Iowa State rising to meet them on all fronts academic and athletic in the last 30 years.

 

[NWICY]

If the band goes there next yr. I hope they troll the hell out of that fanbase. Let the kids be creative.

 

[cyclonestate]

It's all a ruse created by Iowa because they need an excuse for discontinuing the series so they can schedule a 7th home game every year against a cup cake university.

I'm joking, but I wouldn't be shocked if it were true.

 

[OnlyCyclones]

Wouldn't be shocked if this was stirred up so that Barta has an out for ending the series or barring bands at Cy-Hawk games. Classless, chickenshit move, but not shocking in the least. Still can't believe he sent letters to the whole conference after the locker room incident. Even if it had been an ISU fan, it reeked of pettiness.

 

[LincolnWay187]

Was this Iowa fan named Jussie or something?

 

[Cyforce]

Bands in general like to elevate annoying to higher levels. Just say'n.

 

[laminak]

So clearly Gary Dolphin critiqued the Iowa band and he's being vague and blaming ISU.

 

[1Cy]

I’m certain both bands when traveling are the target of jokes and bad behavior. Some I’m sure they cause, and some I’m sure they don’t. That’s also certainly not new this year.

Why bring it up when the biggest spotlight is present? Either it’s just PR handled poorly, or there’s an ulterior motive. Time will tell, but it is fun to guess...and it is Barta

Accountable for what? Stating facts? There were no accusations in the release. They are investigating numerous complaints, as they should. It’s up to you handle seeing a press release in a rational manner.
