<DIV>The loudest cheer (groan) from the crowd was a miss by Christian Williams
on a nice feed by Bohannon. Cheerleaders were listless and I’d say there

<P class=MsoNormal>Today I was with our 23 year old Iowa graduate son who
declared that Iowa has the worst men’s BB fans. 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><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So what’s the problem- a poor/disappointing team? Poor
competition? No student interest? Lack of crowd engagement efforts by sports
marketing? Not sure but it certainly seems as if you can hear a pin drop in
Carver tonight. We need to discover that Hilton Magic.<o:p></o:p></P>
