He has been to two Iowa games this season and he couldn’t believe how quiet/unexcited the fans were, including the students. Especially compared to almost any other college team you watch on TV. Then tonight my wife (not a hardcore Iowa fan) coincidently happened to be watching the Iowa – Stetson game we me and said, “What’s wrong in Carver- don’t we have any cheerleaders or band, it is so quiet.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>We go to all the Iowa women’s games and unless watching the men on television is distorting my perspective, the crowd for the women seems much more engaged. We cheer, harass the refs, and generally are very involved. On TV it looks the men’s fans are on sedation drugs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>So what’s the problem- a poor/disappointing team?
