We had a card section in the middle 60's that put on shows during halftime. It was a way for a student to sit on the 50 yard line. It was discontinued when the students started sailing the reusable cards creating a vicious square Frisbee. I'd guess alcohol had something to do with it.
Children will grow up to be,
not what they are told but what they see.
I hate to admit it, but it looked pretty good. A good friend of mine, who happens to be a Hawkeye fan, gave me a ticket to the game. First time in Kinnick. Still like JTS much better, but the card trick looked good.
And this is precisely why this could never be pulled off at JTS - too many fans stuck on their right to be arrogant arseholes that don't want to put their attitude away to pull off something epic.
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.
A major marketing ploy was the ANF of the 1980's, where Hayden exploited the farm crisis and ISU dropped the ball.
The U of I doesn't do a damn thing for farmers, the 2011 campaign is a farce, Farm land is upwards of $10,000/acre, and the 30% of the U of Iowa student population is from Chicagoland 'burbs, who sure as sh#t don't give a flying f- about farmers.
yet the U of Iowa knows how to make a buck by ripping off ideas, and attracting some national attention attaching themselves to a cause they have nothing to do with (1980's) and a 'crisis' that doesn't exist (2011)

Didn't somebody post the stats for Iowa resident students here a couple weeks ago...
Something like 18,400 instate for ISU and like 17,500 for Iowa? Wow. Huge difference.
Maybe I'm making that up, but who cares. Yeah Iowa isn't an Ag school. But there are still plenty of people there that grew up on farms and have farming families. Not every farmer's kid ends up a farmer or an engineer.
People need to just get over this. Ok, so Iowa is making money off it. Big deal. They make money off a lot of things.
So as many people probably heard, Iowa was doing a card stunt in the stands that was going to be stars & stripes during the National Anthem, and then an ANF slogan and Go Hawks stuff during the rest of the pregame. I didn't think it was possible, but...
That looks awesome.
Major kudos to U of I and whoever organized it. Pics from the CR Gazette.
Uh, its not like this is something original or new. U just have to pay for the cards and put them on seats. Wow!!! Sarcasm alert.
