I was in the ISUCF"V"MB for the 2002 game at Kinnick. A female band member standing next to me had a hawk fan stomp on her foot on our way into the stadium pre game. It swelled up nasty but she was a trooper and did the whole game on her feet. Spent the next few days in a boot.
Some band members had to pay out of pocket for cleaning their uniforms that had beer dumped on them. Not a great move for ISU to not cover that. Full cans and cups flying into the group was common.
So if the hawk band is going to throw a fit about anything less than that? Sorry. Look in the mirror.
I would be ok if JP takes the high road and brushes his shoulders off and not even address it IF it's no more than that.
