9 pm on a Friday and still going... Must have hit oil underground

I think they finally located that pirate treasure. A couple chests of jewels and doubloons will fund the athletic department quite well.

Why else would the backhoe be going after dark?

I was thinking either Atlantis or the Lost City of Gold.

It’s like you think I’m too dumb to realize that you’re all mocking how Hawk fans wave to kids are the UI Hospitals from Kinnick.

Or…are you just too buck stupid to realize that’s what you just took part in?

Freaking idiot. Mocking people who wave to terminally ill kids, just because they’re Iowa fans.

That’s just plain sick. And I don’t mean in current slang.

I’ll mock it. Look, it’s a fine tradition that they started a few years ago. Maybe a little corny, but whatever. What I’ll mock is that Iowa fans can’t help but pat themselves on the back for something that takes so little effort or sacrifice. Just like ANF. In theory it’s a good thing, but man do they like to act like they are really helping farmers when they aren’t. Waving at sick kids is great, but don’t act like you’re making this huge difference by raising your hand. Now if everyone in that stadium donated $1 each game to sick kids, I’d be actually impressed.

You know, if you want to pat yourself on the back for saying “I’m an *******”, while rationalizing desperately why you’re doing it, be my guest.

It puts a smile on dying kids’ faces. Makes them happy a few times a year, forget the radiation and the chemo, being away from their family and friends. Mock away.

You’re showing everyone what really matters to you—and it’s not the kids.

It's clear u are missing the point.

Sure. You obviously don’t understand what I’m saying. That’s fine.

The wet weather set them back, hence the extra hours.

I had the opportunity to ask Jamie about this last fall and he said that it is on their To-Do List, but not a priority. He likes the idea of them from a fan experience aspect with light shows after TDs and whatnot.

Wonder if updated lighting like that could attract more music acts. No idea if lighting has to be brought in for big concerts or what, I imagine some acts want dynamic lighting.

It’s a fine sentiment to the sick kids. Hopefully it helps take their minds off of the bad situation they are in. However, I don’t get the Hok fans that will stand up at the end of the first quarter at Jack Trice, face east and wave at the sky. I realize the hospital building is tall, but the kids can’t see you. It’s virtue signaling. They would be better off writing a check to the hospital instead.

Sure. You obviously don’t understand what I’m saying. That’s fine.

Nope. I totally get what you’re saying. ANF started out as a fine thing, at a time it was needed, and has long since evolved into pure virtue signalling.

Saying I don’t get what you’re saying is simply more rationalization.

I’ll try to put it more simply. You can’t mock the insipid fans without mocking the overall thing. It doesn’t partition or subdivide. At least, not the way peopkd here are doing it.

And it’s frustrating to me that so many of you guys don’t get it.
