    Did Iowa get a lot of juco transfers from southwest mississippi into the fresh-soph classes recently? Is this the best, most creative chant the student body can come up with?

    Pathetic/

    Show some class for ******* sake.

    Irony

    OK.......and what I am saying is that the student section needs to clean-up their lame act, chanting that Bird (Larry or whomever) sucks. That's just bad form and should be below the standard of behavior for University of Iowa students.

    The CLown fans weren't screaming their derogatory stuff at the top of their lungs for all to hear. As to whether the Iowa fans singling out Bird (Larry or whomever) is also racist, is left for another discussion thread.

    And again.......I attended the game at CHA. I didn't and would not waste my time at Hilton. The student section at Iowa needs to step-it-up in the creativity and class department. That's all I'm saying, Todd.

    Go Hawks and thanks for the opportunity to exercise my right to vent. biggrin

    DV this too

    I fully understand your gripe about the chant. I think what confused or upset some other people was comparing that chant to what happened in Ames, where a fan tried to attack Bill Self and where fans tweeted blatantly racist comments to Kansas players. Your original post indicated that Iowa should take action against the chant in the same way that Iowa State took action against what happened there.
