Fans, especially Iowa fans, shell out big bucks just for the right to pay for season tickets. This isn't like spending $5 to see your local high school team play.....this is big money that is being spent. In essence, these are our state's pro teams since we don't have any actual pro teams to follow.

I don't encourage booing amateur athletes, and in fact, the chants for Austen Arnaud (and against Bret) were disgusting to me. I wanted to go over to that student section and choke some of them. I'll boo officials and occasionally the opposing team as they enter the field (mainly Iowa/Nebraska/OU), but I don't boo otherwise.

Your thoughts?

BTW, I highly doubt that Deace spent much, if any, time on talking about Iowa football today on his show. While watching that game, there wasn't much to discuss. Just plain horrible.

Could not agree more. I think booing your team and players is inexcusable. I don't care how much money you spent on your ticket. Unless you honestly think the players on the field are not trying, then shut up. Being booed by your home fans is going to hurt the problem more than help it.
