So much exaggeration and victimizing by the Iowa Marching Band. I have no doubt there were some unruly fan interaction, would not surprise me. But to the extent of some of these accusations given the circumstances, are downright laughable.
So this band issue is now showing on the crawl of the Cows vs Cowboys game on ABC
I hope we can get to the bottom of this. If ISU fans were that abusive and no one stepped up to stop it in the crowd then we have a true issue.
I can't imagine kids could be abused that badly and no one would step up.
I hear the ones that have been released from the hospital will still need periodic psychiatric care.

Would that be the same hospital being supported by the ISU student? Isn't that the definition of irony?
I can’t imagine they could be that abused in the presence of law enforcement without the LE noticing it or the people being abused immediately reporting it to them.

Plus between the locker room theft and the murder of Pemsl, Iowa has cried wolf a few times recently.Totally agree. Law enforcement didn't see anything. Nothing was reported in real time. If you were being so violently assaulted wouldn't you ask a cop for some support? Wouldn't other people in the band start throwing hands? Other fans in the area didn't step up?
Don't have all of the facts yet, but this really doesn't smell right.

Apparently somebody is claiming to have gotten broken ribs out of the deal. I'm not sure how you exaggerate that.

Sounds like with ESPN Yahoo and now GMA and whoever else running with this either Pollard or Wintersteen need to get back out in front of it .
No real facts presented yet .
The other story going around is that the broken ribs occurred because the person fell on their own drums.
It could be that someone got shoved either on purpose or by accident as can happen when a large number of people are exiting an area and they broke ribs but it wasn’t a full on beat down which is what the band is claiming.
Or it could be that none of it happened.
Agree but I think it needs to be repeated if that is still the case, only one side being reported right nowAbout all they can say is that we've offered to help sort this issue out but have been presented no information on which to act. With 4 cops with the band I just don't see how anything much more than verbally harassing them could have happened. I hope we get this put to rest soon.
If they were assaulted by U of I football players we know Barta would do a great independent investigation. He's got a good track record there.With Barta's historical track record they were most likely assaulted by u of Iowa students.
