During the 2000 game I went to IC to watch Seneca destroy the Hawks in the 2nd half. Prior to the game though, when we were walking through IC, an ISU bus saw that we were wearing cyclone gear so invited us on. This bus was tricked out with a big screen tv, DirecTV, about $1000 worth of stereo equipment, and had a bar. It was a blast.
We ended up driving by the lot by Kinnick, and the band was out there along with a bunch of tailgaters. At a stop sign, one of the ISU guys on the bus steps off to do some friendly rivalry smack, by just standing on the curb and throwing his arms in the air with his Red ISU jersy and yelling 'Go Clones'.
This prompted a tailgating girl to come over and dump her beer on the bus, and when the Hawk faithful witnessed this action they thought it would be fun join in and start throwing full beer bottles at the bus. So...we are on the bus getting pelted with full glass beer bottles coming through the windows, smashing up the stuff in the bus, trying to duck for cover so we don't end up with concussions. About 1/2 of the windows on the Kinnick side of the bus were smashed, and the Big Screen tv on the bus ended up with a beer bottle right through it.
The best part of all this, was that there were campus security right next to where we were and did nothing to stop the onslaught. So...we get out of there as fast as we can, and unfortunately the owners of the bus were out some serious coin that day. Luckily no one got hurt.
Iowa City students + Beer = VANDALS! This would NEVER happen in Ames! This just solidified my hatred for all things University of Iowa. Anyway...that's my story.
