Iowa State and Iowa issue joint statement on marching bands
- Thread starter Connor_Ferguson
- Start date
On hr telling everyone how we are so consumed with hatred of ******* Iowa that we are trying to rationalize what happened
Remember hawkmi and dex and the rest rationalizing the cover up of two football players that raped a girl? Remember they were ok with crime scene evidence being destroyed.
Amazingly they are quiet here. Must be a thing with them.

Okay, everybody, I can clear up one thing for certain ... the whole “band on the field” after the game.
I was behind the north end zone after the game ended. The Iowa band came down from their section in the southeast corner and exited out the northeast gate (at least to exit the playing surface, I don’t know how they got from there to the northwest gate). To get there they walked behind the visitors’ benches, in front of the wall where the seating sections begin.
I wouldn’t call that “the field” per se... I mean, it was grass, yeah, but it’s the area between the benches and the wall, so it’s used for all kinds of visiting team personnel to travel on. Did an ISU official yell at them to “get off the field”? Maybe. But I tell you from my personal observation that’s where they were, behind the visitors’ bench.
As an aside, I also saw several Iowa band members waving goodbye sarcastically and yelling things back to the students left in the student section. No, that doesn’t excuse anyone being physically assaulted or having bottles thrown at them, but they were NOT all the upstanding paragons of virtue and good sportsmanship they’re claiming to be.
(I also witnessed two unknown objects that were thrown out of the student section that Saturday - one at the Iowa coaches, I think, coming out after one of the weather breaks. The other was at the Iowa band when they came in before the game. I could not identify what was thrown - they looked like something maybe wrapped in cloth, but they had to have some heft in them to get thrown that far.)

TL/DR......did you identify the gunman on the grassy knoll? Or the 2nd spitter?

Ha, no ... just seeing a lot of talk about the band “on the field” from people who maybe didn’t see them actually leaving, that’s all. I missed out on the whole “Storm Area 51” thing, sadly. But Kramer has the video on the second spitter!
The quip at the end by the writer is classic pot stirring. If you have to say "allegedly" twice in the paragraph, your "journalism" probably shouldn't involve a quip.
The last time something like this happened it turned out the criminal was an Iowa student who got access to their locker room through the Iowa team.
ISU is still waiting for Barta's apology on that since he felt it necessary to spread lies to our Big 12 opponents.
You need a new AD, he can't effectively perform in a situation like this anymore. Maybe this was an actual horrible event, we'll likely never know in part because your AD makes up nonsense like a whiny little bi+ch all the time.
I've had drunken Iowa fans jump off the roof of a van, yell "fa&&ot!" in my face, then shove me...in Ames, when I was a student at ISU.
No national news crawl. Somehow the world didn't come to an end.
That’s what online journalism has become, state the facts and then they just have to throw their own opinion in at the end. The blurring of the lines between reporting and opinion columns annoys the **** out of me.
Hawk fans are jerks. Hope rubberhead gets ran over by a bus.
Wait a second, I just saw that you said that 4 police officers heard screaming, but didn’t respond to the screams?
This all reminds me of a reddit story. People posting crap claiming it’s true. Then the facts come out and its just 100 pages of exaggeration and lies.
