I saw what I expected. Most fans that travel (especially to a rival stadium) are going to be fairly civil. It's the trash that doesn't step foot out of eastern Iowa that ends up being the worst on social media.

Sorry to hear that.
I spent most of the 2015-16 MBB conference games in a wheelchair on the concourse at Hilton, and they did a really good job of taking care of us once we were inside the building.
Parking lot was a pain, though. He could drop me off at the curb before the game, but pushing a wheelchair up & over the icy sidewalks & street to the parking lots on the other side of the street after the game is NOT an easy task, and there is no access to the pickup area until the parking lot is emptied.
Most of the Iowa fans around us were just like the Cyclone fans - cheering their team on. There's always that "one guy" who is very vocal, but even he wasn't too bad this time. Our experiences with Hawkeye fans at this game and at previous games over the last 15 or so years has been that when the game is strongly going our way, they're mute. When the game is a close battle, they're fans. When the game is going strongly in their favor, they're ********.
Even after the game we didn't encounter much trash talk on the walk back to the car. Probably one of the better experiences with that fan base that I've had, all things considered.

Everytime I get that, I just ask, "so when did you graduate from Iowa?". Usually surprises them enough to shut them up.
If they actually give me a year, then I answer, "me too, 2004"
I find it odd that you are telling people what they did or didn't hear. No one said that anyone mentioned is representative of all fans of their respective base. But you just go ahead and thumbs down or disregard anything you don't like if it makes you feel a little better about your little fairy tale world. Go you!
All hail the omniscient Hacker, who apparently was able to hear every comment made by every person in the stadium during the entire game!! Talk about fantasy!
Nothing at our gamewatch. Husker fan in the parking lot asking about the score but in a way that lead me to believe he wanted ISU to win. His wife not so much.
It did reminded me of a tough loss a couple years ago where this very scrawny Husker fan opens the door to our gamewatch room and shouted "Go K-State". And then ran back into the main bar to hide. Come on man, you're not even in the league anymore you little ****. Later as we were leaving he was jeering us (from like 100-feet away). Thought about going over and telling him to go **** himself (he was even scrawnier then me) but took a look at the gal he was with a decided better of that. She was about the size of the little red Porsche 924S I drove to the game and looked mean as hell. Ah, nope.

Ah, nope.
Student section upper deck (X maybe?).
Some obnocious Iowa fan standing while everyone else was sitting during the timeouts. He'd make the weirdest gestures with his hands and arms or clap randomly at nothing. Eventually about 100 of us behind him started copying everything he did.
Only have one small snapchat of it but here's a sample of what was going on....dude had way too much adrenaline.

Were his gestures similar to a Florida Gator chomp? There were a dozen or so Hawks around us and they did that several times during the game. My wife elbowed me when I yelled Go Gators!
Reposting so you can dislike it again, O Mighty and Omniscient Hacker!
no BS...section T. Saw it myself. Security confronted the moron and he stopped throwing the peanuts.
gator chomping near us, too. Guess the dude received permission from the Uof F since the real Gators were off for the day due to the hurricane.
