In the Stands OSU Edition: Guy falling from upper deck

Why in the hell are you going to Iowa games if we are not playing them??

If it's a free tkt and a chance to see them lose why not? As long as i'm not missing a ISU event that I already have tickets for.

Fair point. Not like they don’t have plenty of free tickets floating around for their events
 
This guy was in our section with a group of Poke fans from Chicago. Ironic thing was he is an Illini fan. Hence the Orange pants and wig. In any case it was a great Gullett. small Poke Fans.jpg

I'm about twelve rows down from there. I saw him going past on the stairs and just about bust a gut laughing at the Gundy mullet look!
 
If I went to a Hawkeye game I'd go neutral, the hard part for me if I was invited by Iowa fans would be to not cheer outloud for the other team.

Easy solution, don't go. ;)

Only Iowa games I've ever been to not vs ISU is here for some Gopher MBB and WBB. I don't think I've ever worn ISU gear to those but definitely cheer for the Gophers.

Now I'm just a little curious if anyone has almost gone over the first row of the balcony at Hilton. With so many bad referee calls over the years, it's probably inevitable that someone will someday go over. I'm sure Jamie is calling some of the companies that put up circus netting to catch the high wire acts to come to Ames and make our venues safe for all.

I do the same. I have a good friend who is a hok and a really good guy. He invites me when his hok friends can't go. I basically just sit and don't cheer either way. It's still fun to see big time ball even though it's the hoks especially when I get to see a MSU, Michigan or others and they win! I just kind of feel good inside without showing it.

it sounds like you've never been to Hilton.

Fan’s fall reaction to ‘ big play.’
Man dropped 25 feet in tumble at ISU stadium

Philip Joens and Andrea May Sahouri
Des Moines Register USA TODAY NETWORK

Police documents made public Monday detail the recollections of a man who fell at least 25 feet at Iowa State University’s football stadium last month, as well as accounts from people injured when he struck them and other witnesses.

Same type of story here. My neighbor had a cousin who was a KU booster, had decent seats for hoops. The booster lived in St. Louis and didn't make it to many weekday games so my neighbor usually got the tickets. A few weekend games would get sprinkled in and we'd go hang out in Lawrence on Mass for awhile. I don't know how many games I went to over the years - maybe 30? It's still big time hoops and fun to watch, though it was sometimes hard not to openly root for the other team.

Saw them lose twice - once to OSU (the Marcus Smart years), once to Davidson at the Sprint Center (post Curry). We had amazing seats at the Sprint Center game. I caught a t-shirt, which I gave to the kid behind me. His Mom got mad at me because I didn't also give his brother a shirt and he cried. WTF lady?

Did we ever hear that all these people fully recovered? I’m really surprised there wasn’t a lawsuit from ladies the dude landed on.
