Classless, to say the least. But being CLASSLESS all starts with the Little Red head coach and the lack of class obviously has trickled down to his players.
Some excerpts & videos from an online story that detailed what Little Red did:
The Huskers had lost three straight against Iowa coming into last Friday's game, but you wouldn't have guessed that by the way they walked onto the field. At one point, the Nebraska players went over to Iowa's side of the field and began to dance/taunt while blocking some Iowa players from warming up.
"That juiced us up," Iowa running back Mekhi Sargent said following his 173-yard performance. "That was disrespectful. Coming into Kinnick like that and being disrespectful like that. I think we did a good job of brushing that off and playing our game and that's what it was all about. Playing our game until the end of the fourth."
"It was chippy from them," junior tight end Noah Fant said. "I wasn't looking to do any talking or anything like that, but that's their game plan. That's what they wanted to come out to do."
The Hawkeyes have always been a disciplined team and don't get involved with controversies with the media and don't get involved with trash talk.
Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz did not take kindly to Frost and his team's actions as it was reported that he was yelling at Frost during/after the whole ordeal happened.
The other Hawkeyes said that they didn't care about Nebraska's pregame antics, but you could see a serious look when they answered the question. It's a pride factor. Visitors coming in, disrespecting them in their own home, players eat up that kind of animosity when they play a physical game such as football.
