Wow, I thought this thread would be dead and buried by now. Since it isn't, let me say this.
To Gnarls, a timeless burn and impeccable timing getting it in as the 1st reply.
You might be a little ticked when the shoe is on the other foot. If you rip your team when it is instead of the opposing fans filling your stadium, good for you.
That's not my initial reaction though, so I criticized the black and gold mob around me who I found rather annoying. It was cathartic. I am glad to hear that my experience was not necessarily the rule on Saturday. My Iowan co-workers, who, coincidentally, happen to raise pigs, were more than decent considering the magnitude of this debacle. Had webber completed a pass I don't think the hawk-fans would have been an issue, or at least to such a degree. To my great regret, that didn't happen.
I was also embarrassed by our inability to even fill 1/2 our stadium and that falls squarely on gopher fans. Iowans will follow Herky across the nation as long as they can buy tickets. Next year, the only visiting colors I want to see are on the field and at the top of TCF. Hopefully, kinnick north died along with the gopher's tenure in the dome on 11/22/08.
