The “Push”

So I'm on the west coast right now ... two hours behind you guys ... when I woke up and checked Twitter this morning, I seriously could not believe this was a "thing." Unreal.

Hawkeye fans will do anything to take the attention off their team losing. Did the same thing with Randy Peterson and the court storm two years ago.
 
If anything, I thought the "push" was pretty wimpy. It reminded me of when a kid goes hunting for the first time and puts his hands on the prey for a photo after it has been shot. He reaches out, touches it, and then pulls back because he is a little freaked out.

Or maybe it was like an emergency medical professional who reaches to help a victim and then recognizes he doesn't have his protective gloves on. Pemsl was a Hokeye after all. You can't be too careful. Its right there in the "Practice Safe Student Section" guidelines. Don't touch HAWKSTD without gloves on.

Hawkeye fans are just trying to deflect from the fact that they lost yet again. Breaking it down like it's the Zapruder film. "Yeah, we lost, but look what this kid did that we think maybe possibly can be construed as scandalous! Focus on that!"

Your coworker Travis Justice made a huge deal out of it on the radio this morning, calling out any Cyclone fan that thought it was an accident.

It's part that and part "vilify ISU fans." Many of the responses I saw to those edited tweets were calling ISU fans thugs/lowlifes while, "You'd never see that at Iowa." Iowa fans don't like sharing a smaller state with another P5 school.
