I remember walking to the bars and the cops were in riot gear.
I was sober that night trying to get my friends home and they basically were forcing people on Welch. It was such a mess.
When I was a freshman at ISU (2002-03) I stayed on the 5th floor of Larch Hall. A few basketball players were on the same floor, and I got to know them that year. Mainly Tim Barnes, Chris Alexander, and Adam Haluska.
At the end of the basketball season I remember some of them talking about how coach Eustachy threw a big party and the team just got drunk with him. I thought that was crazy at the time, the head coach getting wasted with the players… but I think it was later that spring he resigned.
Another thing I remember that year about Haluska was that he really wasn’t a party animal like a lot of the other guys. While a lot of the team would drink a lot (and/or get high), I never really saw him getting drunk. In my mind it could have been part of why he transferred… to get away from the drunken mess that team and coaching staff was at the time.

I double lucked out, as the previous year I had lived in the 5th floor of Friley. My roommate from that year still lived in the room and got second-hand gassed.
This is almost word for word what happened in 2014 or whatever the last one was. Minus the tear gas and cutting the power.
Why do they insist on funneling them anywhere but away?
Speaking of Hoiberg and some wild stories
There was an infamous party (at least in my circle) I was at my freshman year during basketball season after a loss to Kansas. I can't remember if it was the day of the loss or the day after as we had Monday classes off. Most of the team walked into this seemingly random Legacy apartment party.
They each got a girl on both arms and walked out within 15min. All of us were dumbfounded.
The next game was the famous Scottie buzzer beater bank shot against Oklahoma State.
I remember it very vividly as my freshman gf and I got in a big fight and broke up temporarily. And I was pissed because a girl I was talking to at the party ended up with one of the players lol

Yeah that was awful especially considering that the previous year show with Jim Breuer and Bobby Lee was actually pretty damn good.Speaking of Veishea 2004, anyone else remember that disastrous comedy show friday night?
Laughs missing through most of ‘Dew the Rec’
After many students waited in line for more than an hour just to get into “Dew the Rec,” it probably would have been more fun sitting in the dorms watching Comedy Central. The “Dew the Rec” show started terribly and although it recovered somewhat, it went on for far, far too long. Opening the...iowastatedaily.com
Hiawatha Rutland came out and basically attacked the crowd. Incredibly unfunny.
Then later there was some improv thing with Horatio Sanz and others, it went terribly. People just started leaving during their set. Jack McBrayer went on to talk about it a few years later:
I kind of give partial credit to the riot to that show for starting the weekend off on such a **** note.

The review almost makes me wish I had seen the show (well, some of it, anyway) just to witness. I don't think I've ever heard about it.
Maybe someone responded to this already, some reports said he went to gathering with a Missouri player following the game. How he happened to connect w/ the player and do so, not sure if that was ever clarified.
