Video from Iowa/Arizona game. NSFW

[Cyclonick182]

I didn't take this video. But I saw it on facebook along with a number of Iowa fans crying about how "Classy" the Arizona fans were because of this. I'd imagine quite abit of provoking was involved on both sides here. Oh, and this is most definately NOT SAFE FOR WORK (Very, very poor language.)

I wasnt sure what I thought of either fan base after watching that. Maybe AZ fans are worse than Iowa fans? Maybe Iowa fans torment all fanbases?

What do you guys take from this?

On second thought. I dont even feel right linking this. Youtube "Arizona fans verbally and physically assault Iowa fans in Tuscon" If you want to see the video.

First, the Iowa fans must have felt pretty dumb after losing. Second, I never get the "OVER RATED" chant. You essentially are degrading your own team when you do that (i.e. - "You guys must suck if we beat you so I'm going to chant "OVER RATED"). Third, the AZ fans had bad class, but that was 3 or 4 people. I can easily find 3 or 4 people in any stadium who act this way. Maybe shut your mouth Hawk fans and stop provoking people in their own stadium.

Arizona has now been added to the list of teams I will cheer for Iowa against. They join Nebraska, Hitler, and the Taliban.

Same thing happened to me at Jack Trice in 2007... Hawk fans acted exactly the same (I had seats relatively close to the Hawkeye section.)

If this is the same video as the one in the other thread, the Iowa fans were clearly antagonizing the Arizona fans and "conveniently" left that fact out of the video.

I don't condone what was said regardless of whatever words were said prior, BUT, I don't get the holier-than-thou attitude. I've seen enough of what goes on in IC that those folks don't have much of a leg to stand on. Maybe not as much inside the stadium, but don't act like all that happens there is just playful smack talk. Throwing a full can of beer is just as bad as taking a swipe at a camera. Full on assault with no provocation has happened to more than a few people I know.

Hawk fans get waht they deserve...fuk em

Losing has a way of causing fans to redirect anger towards things less significant than the performance on the field.

I think we see that a lot here. No different for Iowa.

Knowing Iowa fans as I do, I admire Arizona fans for their restraint.

Just proof that every fan base has idiot fans.

Wow........

Well this isn't in the spirit of college football that's for sure. Fandom is ok but when it turns into crud like this, maybe they should stay home and get a new hobby.

This is no different than what I went through at Kinnick this year, except I did zero to provoke anyone. They get what they deserve.

I don't disagree that there are Iowa fans who are idiots. But would you agree that the TavernHoks are the ones that do most of the stupid s*** at Kinnick? Several Arizona fans have said that the area where that video was taken is general admission, and tickets can go for as low as $10. That's where THEIR bandwagon fans sit. And I might be wrong here, but I would think that bandwagon fans are less likely to make the trip to Tuscon from IC. And, while I'm not ignoring the possibility that there was provocation, there was no evidence of that in the video other than chants of "Let's Go Hawks!". Again, I do believe there was probably at least a 50-50 chance that the Hawk fans were doing more than that to set the 'Zona fans off, but the video doesn't show any evidence of that.
