UNI fans embarass the Hawk's Nest

[unigriff]

haha...that reminds me over labor day weekend when i went up to see my sister in the twin cities. We went to a piano bar called the Shout House in "uptown". They would play the MInnesota fight song a ton and the Iowa fight song, my sister (an ISU alum) tried to get them to play the ISU fight song, but failed miserably. While i would expect them not to know the ISU fight song...they did know the UNI one...which was rather weird...

What is the name of the piano bar in Waterloo?

[MeOW!]

What is the name of the piano bar in Waterloo?

Monica's, next door to Jameson's

[uninisg]

Its Downtown on 4th

[Newsbreaker]

Its Downtown on 4th

Not to hijack, but with a little work around it, that would turn into a really cool little area. That section of 4th, from the UNI business center to CU and Monica's in a really nice spot (minus the "Mini Cinema 16" )

I'm a growing fan of the "cellar" below CU.

I've heard good things about Jameson's

[uninisg]

Yeah Jameson's is smokefree too if you like that kind of environment

i think Madcat...flying was talking bout the Iowa band, not ours...

I understood that clearly.

Nevermind, apparently my post was lost on people.

Without trying to spell it out I was trying to say that, like Iowa's, our band is not necessarily the most creative either. Heck, when I was in school I actually witnessed the band do the same halftime show for football twice in the same season (I believe it was a "Star Wars" theme). I just think its kind of ironic when we make fun of other teams' bands. And also, lets not try to say that our fans are that different from Iowa's in terms of how they act in the stands. Their team currently sucks and ours is currently on the highest of highs. Remember back to games in the late 90s with Weaver here and you could count the people in the stands and could hear a pin drop. At that same time Carver was sold out every night and people really got into the game. It's all cyclical and you can't judge it based on one game/season.

iowa fans have been "that" way since i was in diapers..it will never change.

does the band normally have a different show every halftime? I have to admit to not paying the closest of attention at halftime (no slight against the PMB, I've just never been able to get "into" marching band music, and the dome accoustics doesn't help). But I'm fairly sure I heard the same songs being announced more than one week. (I don't see anything WRONG with that, as I'm sure it takes a heck of alot of work to memorize and choreograph a performance and all that)

[unigriff]

when its a "classical" show...it gets boring awfully quick, like this last year

its MARCHING Band, not a symphony!
