Students get in FREE

[twinlaker]

(Dating myself here..a lot!)....back when I was on campus (78-82), that old field house was packed to the gills for every single game (even winter break), no matter who the opponent was. Balmy Nov/March weather or below-zero miserable nights. Didn't matter.

No gimmicks. No freebies.


It was a much much tougher ticket to get than a FB ticket.

Thinking back...on campus at that time were 1.) Lute, 2.) Hayden, 3.) Gable, 4.) Glenn Patton (swimming), and 5.) AD = Bump Elliot.

Wow.

Wow.

I'll lecture all you young uns about back in the day. Try 1973 to 1977? Th sixties were dying down, the horrible 70's music scene of disco and pop were upon us the the impending doom of the Reagan years were about to descend upon us.

Some of us still enjoyed and supported the Hawkeyes even though it was not really hip or cool and for people who supported winners (about 80% of Hawkeye fans and posters these days)... you wouldn't have shown up for any of the horrible losing seasons at Kinnick (newly named) or the Iowa Field House.

The Field House did only hold about 10,000 people and they stuck us students in the upper decks with more than a few obstructed views. Between the bleachers and the students pounding their feet on that odd fiber glass seating arrangement... the noise and the home court advantage was unbelievable.

They even charged us for those tickets.

I just don't get it why the Dukies get such credit in Cameron when it holds 10,000 people, the students get in free and get to sit in primo seats from the front court end line to end line. Try some free and primo seats for the Iowa kids and see how that works out.

Whar free pizza?

One or the other, not both. If lickliter where still here, it would be both. Maybe even paying people to come to games.

Don't worry it's a night game so i'm gonna be blasted and yelling SUCKS after the opposing players are introduced and spank can cry about it all he wants.

Since it will be 2 degrees with -20 degree windchill and we are playing PSU, the crowd will probably be a little light tonight.

The game is inside. Why the hell does it matter what temperature it is

I heard "Carver" is hot and she likes to be "packed" with as many college dudes as possible.

Well, crap. I ain't been a college dude in about 25 years.

It's ok 1h1, Carver isn't picky. Hell she let all the students (guys and girls) in for free.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

Carver looked and sounded asleep last night.
