The bar we were at the second half had 6 glasses in toilet, 3 in the urinal,
I said pass. I have sat in the donor sections before, and the middle aged folks are as bad as the students. Win or lose, I wanted to enjoy the game, and sitting with a bunch of belligerent old people in Kinnick was going to make enjoying the game impossible. Talk about your "game day experience"!
Agree. I can't believe ISU fans actually pay to enter that place and sit in the midst of those fans.
I'm almost 60 years old and have never once seen a glass in either a toilet or urinal.
Also I'm not a Hawk hater as I have a lot of very level headed Hawkeye friends (and dating one) and actually think Iowa City is a nice city that can be fun at times, however I was very surprised how dirty/violent the city was. Maybe this was just because of rivalry week.
Besides stories of fans being D-bags everywhere (there were some ok ones, one guy admitted he loved Freddy and switches to Iowa State for basketball), I couldn't believe how they treat their own city. Trash absolutely everywhere. I understand it's a drunken tailgate rivalry game, but it was disgusting. The girls we were with wanted to go to the Library to pee as they thought it would be more private, and everything in there was destroyed as well. The porta potty situation was disgusting at both lots we visited. 2 hours before kickoff every one somebody we were with went into was overflowing with **** mixed in with beer cans, fem products, etc, to the point you couldn't step in them. Every bar we went into had broken glass all over. I'm not sure if that's the Iowa City way, but I heard a glass being thrown, not dropped, about once every 15 minutes. The bar we were at the second half had 6 glasses in toilet, 3 in the urinal, and broken glass covering the floor of the bathroom where you couldn't find a spot to step without a big chunk of glass. I was just happy the weather was cold in the AM so I wore shoes.
I sat close to a Hawkeye fan from Huxley. He was a great guy and I enjoyed talking to him at half time. He said a lot of positive things about iowa state. I was also impressed how much his son knew about his team. In the stadium I had a great experience besides the occasional idiotic fan outbursts in my area. Outside the stadium was brutal though.
Iowa City was in classic form yesterday. Two years ago, things were pretty subdued because that Hawkeye team was pathetic on numerous levels. However, this year, last minute victories over UNI and Ball State had the mouth breathers out. Numerous "F you" several double-Bookers. One poor fat Hawkeye chick just walked up to me with this weird look on her face and said "I'm sorry" like I was a handicap or something.
Well....not a single word on the walk back to the car.
