Granted, I'm a bit biased -- as a student of the 80's, not too far away from my AARP eligibility. On the other hand, as a Gen-Xer, I came of age during the greatest decade of Americana, which ushered in virtually every single social attitude, technological advance and lifestyle of the modern day (yes, the jury is still out on how many "monsters" were spawned, but that's more on the users than the makers
). Although we're growing older, we still haven't grown up, so, when we're at Kinnick and back on campus, it might as well be 1985, well, because most of us still think we run that place!! If up to me, I'd stand the whole fvcking game, just like back when the NW corner made a difference. I'd be chugging (and sharing) my bota concoction, kissing strangers' girlfriends and passing coeds to the top of the stadium.
* Sidebar: I still have my bota. Not only as a momento but still clinging to that futile hope that, one day, IC will regain some rationality and tone down the PC, and we can all experience what a Hawkeye game was like in the glory days. In the meantime, I abuse the privilege of being an east-sider -- barely a look, let alone a pat-down, while I tote in a handful of airline tequilas and vodkas in the bottom pockets of my cargo shorts. Age does have some benefits
. *Point: I agree, it ain't me and my generation. Prolly not any single "generation". Mostly, it's the individual that somehow forgets Kinnick is a football stadium, not a theatre. Not to mention, given the combo of the elements and their personal physical condition, they forget they prolly shouldn't be there in the first place.
They just keep renewing and coming, year after year, as they grow older and older, till, pretty soon, they just can't participate like they should and are just in the way but think you are too.........
... oh, sh!t, wait a minute ...
on second thought ... YOU sit down! Turn that CRAP down! Play me some "Sweet Caroline", "Hey Jude", and "Ol' Time Rock-n-Roll" please.

Give the damn tickets to lantern park residents. Hell they'd make more noise than an empty student section. Yes get off my lawn fat boomer kid. Hell, I'd probably have to text em to get off my lawn. Damn punk head phone ear muff dr dre beats thingamajigs!In their defense Microsoft has made vast improvements to their Xbox gaming console. Oz while you're at it why not yell at them to get off of your lawn?

Not sure if serious...Actually, I'm not sure if I like or despise that song myself...especially at the games; I do like the video, in parts, but then there are those toothless parts...It's kinda like a train wreck but with girls on mechanical bulls, which is always nice...

I KNEW THAT GUY!! I know, I know, "yeah, right" but, seriously, he was a good friend of a guy I roomed with on S. Dodge. Think his name was Jon and wanna say he was from Schaumburg or another NE burb. Anyway, yes, he was in the N endzone and, 2-3 times / game, at the perfect moment (when the whole stadium could hear) he'd do his "call" and all would respond, "Go Hawks!". Between that and the, "Taste Great!", "Less Filling" challenges, the back-n-forth between the N endzone and NW students was classic!
That's when the "game experience" was about participating through relevant cheers, not simply being stimulated by jumbotrons and watching. Now, it's one big kumbaya circle with everyone doing the burrito lift in unison and hamming for the smile cam. Not to mention, try to bring in a freakin' trumpet and 2-star will think it's some -007 gadget for the sole purpose of injuring fellow fans.

This is pretty much the same time I was on campus. My first football season as a student was also Hayden Fry's first season. I really do feel sorry for the kids of today that don't get to experience what gameday and the stadium experience was like during those years. Maybe some of it is that things area always better when remembering "back in the day", but I made it back to a game a couple years ago and it's just different... way different. It's still cool to be at a game, but definitely not the party atmosphere I remember. I wish I still had my bota, but it's long gone by now.... probably still smells like peppermint schnaaps, wherever it is.

Thanks, brother! The credit goes to the era, I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to participate in the experience.
Give the crowd the freedom to have some fun (*gasp*, even a little reckless fun) and they really will get involved and contribute to, if not entirely create, the "gameday experience". The party + the great teams that made cheering easy and I can't help but recall the 80's as the glory days.
Oh, crap ... all this reminiscing and I'm behind schedule prepping & gathering the supplies for my only little 80's-esque party. Here it is 7am & I haven't even popped a "Daddy-pop" yet -- pathetic! Back in the day I would have been severely ridiculed and the penance would have been a 3-beer bong to "catch-up". At least now I've traded up from Old Style to Sam Adam's, so the palate is a bit happier, the headache a bit lighter and the toilet less punished ... t.m.i??
Rock-on and GO HAWKS!! See ya in Section 103.

Apparently things worked out good today because the uni coach said the two delay personalities were caused by the pa and band being so loud they couldn't communicate! Now that's an improvement!

Very true. As for our music being played to disrupt the other team; I don't like that. It shows a lack of class and is just very cyclon-ish.

Yeah...they actually played some current rocking tunes like this one:
