ESPN pulls live coverage on Stanford band after it mocks state of Iowa

[EstronHawkKing]

The Stanford band made fun of Iowa as it had a cow that staggered around on the field as if it was drunk, a farmer in a straw hat and a corn maze. Iowa fans booed the Cardinal band as it performed.

Even the Stanford band won. They probably put 75 cents worth of effort into that show, and they'll be on every sports broadcast tonight. Iowa spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly the band out there and do a show, and no one will ever remember it.

Truthfully, Iowans are stuck in the 1990s.

An absolutely classless act by a classless institution.

You think that's winning?

Sad thing is that cow probably got more yards on the ground running out there than we did.

 

[ThunderHawk]

Hox band shoulda formed a likeness of Condi Rice with a mushroom cloud

I hate California culture. I take comfort in knowing that state will sink into the sea soon.

Like I said, Iowans are stuck in the '90s.

You think that's winning?

They certainly do. They got on TV, and you're talking about them.

Well, Charlie Sheen thought he was winning too.

It was classless.

Kansas State marching band did a better job

I agree, but it's 2016. No one gives a crap about class any more.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Will forever be known as the Iowa cow-tipping and tripping Rose Bowl Game.

 

[bcl20]

The Stanford band did a clever job of pointing out or agricultural background. This has never been done before.

I thought they were smart people? Not bland and cliche

 

[tiberius]

Too bad they didn't pull coverage on the game after the 1st half.

 

[ColoradoHAWKEYE]

Too bad they didn't pull coverage on the game after the 1st 3 minutes.

So true. FIFY.

 

[Jonrn]

Frankly, Iowa deserved to be ripped on. Good for the Stanford band.

That was Charlie Sheen level "winning."
