Absolutely Hilarious!

I saw these guys during the game, they made me shoot beer out of my nose! I just don’t get it… Are they Super-Stupid-Fans?

by RH's Bookie on Sep 15, 2010 9:37 PM CDT reply actions  

somebody else said this and I agree

that we should be applauding guys that get behind their team like this. It takes some swagger to dress up like that and enter Kinnick stadium knowing the relentless torment that awaited them win or LOSE. I’m not a Clone fan by any stretch of the imagination but I will take this type fan over the dickhead Iowa fan who sits behind me and bad mouths every play call that does not result in a touchdown or 20 yard sack. The Cyclone Sad fans were a hoot to watch from the opposite side of the stadium as they went from Uber-enthusiastic to Mega-morous in just one half of football.

One half?

I think they were pretty much done after one quarter.

Hell, they might have been getting cold sweats after that awful-looking three-and-out ISU had after Iowa’s unstoppable first drive.

Agree (though I still think they looked like idiots too)...

…and if Iowa had somehow lost, it would have been fun to watch their capes flap in the wind like super-heroes-zeros as they ran down Melrose with at least, what (?), 60,000 Hawks chasing them. If that had been the case, I would have loved to have been sitting in a lawn chair with a bowl of popcorn.

Great to see...

“Sad Fan” back. (And, for the record, if you want to dress up all goofy in support of your team, Okay No Problem. Just don’t do it when your team’s on the road)

If it's ever appropriate . . .

it’s especially appropriate on the road.

agreed

plus, isnt it possible that they are just unaware enough that they thought it was justified (they had a chance)?

by metcalfrhymeswithblodbath on Sep 15, 2010 9:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

They may have thought they had a chance...

Austen Arnaud knew they didn’t, that’s why he didn’t show up.

by HawkeyeRecon on Sep 15, 2010 9:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

I must be the only Iowa fan in the world . . .

. . . that thinks these guys represented their fanbase well.

Sure, when I see a Hawk dressed in comparable gear (and there are a few ever week) I roll my eyes. But I smile a bit inside at their passion and follow-through.

Seriously, it’s not easy to be a fan of a team whose success is defined as 6-5. Showing this kind of passion and commitment (even if it is only for the game against Big Brother) is cool. Props to them for going all out on the road against a rival.

Just because there are a lot of Cyclone fans that have anger issues and inferiority complexes, doesn’t mean we have to be dicks to every Cyclone fan. That would make us jerks. Let’s not be jerks.

by The Final Gun on Sep 15, 2010 9:39 PM CDT reply actions  

I think ...

being a dick is the correct call here. Respectfully speaking, of course.

Excuse me for my bellicosity. And spelling. Bellicosity and spelling.

by Blackheartnopants on Sep 15, 2010 9:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

fair enough . . .

as long as it’s premeditated dickishness.

In the multiverse...

they can be dicks, not dicks, both, or neither.

Gross

Perhaps my best years are gone... but I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.

They wanted attention

They are receiving it.

I love it

It’s even better because they knew they were going to lose. They came to rep their school and team, and made a statement.

by Bridgeloan on Sep 16, 2010 9:48 AM CDT up reply actions  

Did anybody else see Sad Fan after this?

Later on, one of these man-boys was shown sitting by himself in the corner texting on his phone. I can only imagine what he was texting…

To: Mother

ISU is getting their butts handed to them! :( Since I’m dressed like an all red fool-wizard, I’m probably going to be the center of ridicule when I leave the stadium and quite possibly have perishable foods and various liquids thrown at me when I leave the stadium. :((((( Could you come pick me up at Kinnick Stadium. I know it’s a long drive from Minneapolis.

by RH's Bookie on Sep 15, 2010 9:54 PM CDT reply actions  

That moment was the highlight of the second half for me...

…especially since the announcers commented on the fact that it was “texting time” for the ISU fans.

I feel the capes do a pretty nifty job of hiding the fact that they stole their spare tires from the ISU O-linemen

Who is the guy all the way over on the right?

Did he forget to dress up? Did he refuse? Is he a random Cyclone fan who just happened to dress like Goof Troop?

by Blackheartnopants on Sep 15, 2010 10:25 PM CDT reply actions  

He's the back-up.

If one of the others go down do to an injury he’s next man in. It’s a beautiful story. Transfered to ISU from a clown school. (McDonalds university I believe) Just looking for an opportunity to play. Walked on, and fought his way onto the geek squad as a back up. If all goes well he expects to be starting by the time UNI comes to town.

For the record, those are all Student Body Senators

They have each other. I’m was informed last week by someone in the know that the guy on the left (AKA sad texter) is what is referred to as a " bear."

Perfect opportunity for some sad fans this weekend. Get your cameras (DVRs) ready!

Sad Arizona fans

If you win, they will throw water bottles at your cheerleaders.

Good luck!

by AZ_Duck on Sep 17, 2010 10:45 AM CDT reply actions  

That's better than my second year in the U of I student section

Some guys were throwing half-full bottles of beer, which is both wrong (because 1, they weren’t empty and 2. they could hurt someone) and ’tarded because our student section is behind OUR PLAYERS. Good job guys. Hit our own players.

It escalated over a number of games, culminating with a pig’s head being tossed out. The athletic department contemplated putting up nets in front of us, then settled on frisking everyone on the way in for bottles and having a dog sniff for any hidden meat. Okay, maybe the meat sniffing didn’t happen, but I did have to hide alcohol on my girlfriend’s body a few times…
