I was really impressed with the Wisconsin-Green Bay team both nights they played at Hilton. They were also well represented by a good contingent of fans who were very vocal. I am surprised we came away with a win, as it seemed we were outplayed all night. I'm sure they are very disappointed to lose, but they have plenty to be proud of.

I would agree with that. I am wondering if they were booing the refs too??

they did boo the refs... for the swallowed whistle under a minute to go with their gal driving to the base line. It could have easily went either way
I am / was fine with it.
stand up fans, players, coaches and band. I would am fine with them returning to Ames for a regular season game.
I guess my point being that a large portion of our crowd didn't display the best of sportsmanship, throughout the game. I don't want to hijack the OP's original intent so I'll leave it at that and just agree with him.
Green Bay played very well and were enjoyable to watch.

I would say we were predictable in our crowd support/cheering/booing ... it is going to happen, it is an emotional setting.... I guess I see a no harm no foul situation. It would be hard to find a fan there that didnt' respect or like the W-GB team... we just needed to beat them.

I guess I missed the mascot on TV. Was this it?

Regarding that call-That call is made 99% of the time. When there is a consequence to not making the call such as going out of bounds they always make that call. I though it was a fouls but there are times when it is not and get's called. I just thought it was weird that it wasn't called.

Because their sound hurt my ears all night? lol. I mean, they had something like 3 or 4 songs and one was a high school band cheer. In fact, i think the bands that come in over christmas break from local high schools are sometimes better.

Yeah... it was like a combination of Willie the Wildcat, an old version of Cy, and the Stanford Tree.

Our fans booed nearly every call against ISU and most of the calls were correct. I was laughing to my kids about it.

well... now... how old is that picture? is it fair to compare?

Not hating, just having a little fun. When someone mentioned the mascot, my mind immediately went back to Cy when I started at ISU. He needed an upgrade and had a beer belly of sorts. I hated to see him go when he did even though it was time. I couldn't find that one, but found this one which the caption hinted was the first.
I also thought about putting Herky here, but he doesn't deserve the air time.
