Illini Fans Are Stirring The Pot
- Thread starter Fran-Con-2
- Start date
Lets face it. The apology only came because of the national reaction. Like this one, from the Indy Star newspaper.
I remember Reggie Evans getting elbowed in the neck at a home game vs Illinois. He didn't even react which is crazy because it was a massive cheap shot. I've hated Illinois basketball for over 40 years and don't see that changing. I really enjoyed the krush doing some serious backpeddling in their pr statement. They obviously were talked to by someone in the university. Glad Iowa canceled those tickets and the little scumbags are on the hotseat. The whole taking the coats or shirts off is lame to me. I just don't get it but whatever. And the tickets are only discounted for select groups. Says so on the websight. And i lived in Phoenix so I know what a crappy city is. Just 1 of many. I've actually enjoyed Chicago but think tickets to the aquarium is ridiculously high.
Iowa comes out looking like the good guys in this mess.
Well done UI
Well done UI
By publicizing this mess, these kids thought they were going to get a gofundme/donor trip to Iowa City, instead they are shown as pathetic liars (who issue a Friday afternoon news drop apology to a nation that actually doesn't give a shit but still laughs at them). Glorious. I-O-W-A!
Fighter, I was a little harsh on that. To be fair, I know quite a few Illini fans that are good people and you seem like one as well. To be clear, I respect the Illini programs. Your student section is one to be envious of with how they support the BB team. I wish our student would be able to match that. I also agree that this rivalry is getting more intense. I do wish Conner had not come out and said anything. The last thing we need is your boys having any bulletin board material.
Thanks for the response and lets hope for clean, good game.

How do you feel about your beloved Orange Crush being an absolute joke to the national media?! Ouch…
Jonesy- can u even watch your daughter play in HS or are you banned from her games like u have been in the past? Who’s been kicked out of more youth sporting events….you or Pollturd?
Nice try jackass……Orange Crush are a national joke while Barta looks great for donating the fraud’s tickets to a real B&G club 😂😂
What’s weird is u still pretending you’re not the nut job dad of the Joens girls. I actually like Ashley’s game, but she needs to stop acting like she’s getting hammered every….single……time she drives to the hoop. It’s painful to watch.
Yep, Iowa comes away as the good guys in this situation with the whining Illini as the villains.
No idea who you're talking about. Who spells Jones that way anyway? 🤔
I actually thought his post was super reasonable … at the end of the day, the Krush (dumb college kids, we all were once) made a very stupid decision in picking their fake organization name and they called Iowa out and got schooled. At the same time, the Pearl clutching is so lame; it hurt absolutely nobody. The story is simply college kids tried to sneak into rival’s arena, got caught and now can’t go. Period. People on either side are reaching, and I completely agree with Fran’s take.
@Franisdaman Hugeeeeee surprise that two Hoosier sources jumped on this to shit on Illinois!!!!
Eh, don't be too jealous. It seems these energetic basketball fanbases are a byproduct of their football teams being historically shit. Illinois, ISU, Purdue...
You're missing the deceiving to get a discount.
Trying to blame Iowa.
Acting the victim.
But they didn’t deceive to get the discount, they deceived to get the tickets. Orange Krush IS a charity and a group of over 20, they wouldn’t have to lie about either.
So I assume if some were so anxious to blame Barta for this, he should now be given the credit for the outcome by those same individuals.
Id say it did, the krush got double whammied with their stupidity. Beautiful
My son was at the game today and he texted and said when they brought the kids out, it may have been the loudest he has heard CHA.
Thanks Krush!
Thanks Krush!
Good ending for Hawk fans and the B&G club, you won this round. Not sure why Krush didn't claim to be the Human Fund instead of a B&G club, but it wasn't to get a special discount. Illini haters are jumping on that like it was some kind of fraud. Just poor judgment by the Krush.
Also funny... there's a 19 page, and growing, thread on CF with Clone fans criticizing the Iowa AD about this and barely a peep after the Illinois group admitted lying to get the tix discount.
because barta has a knack for losing slam dunk win lawsuits the taxpayers will have to fork it over too, then gary will get rewarded for it with a raise
They're jumping on because its hilarious and embarrassing. Fraud or not.
I haven't read any other replies but if you think the measure of a great school system is its athletic facilities then idk what else to say. The building and improvement funds were needed to update some areas but that needs to be shifted to actually pay teachers instead of expanding sports.
Well, no wonder we pulled out an outstanding win today. Had those 200 scary, intimidating Owange Cwush butts been allowed in Carver, the outcome of the game would most certainly have been different. NOT! 
I know you probably won't comment because your team got beat by the Hawks.......but there were a LOT of Illinois fans at the game. I was surrounded by them.
Sort of shoots down your claim that the Iowa athletic department wants to keep opposing fans out.
The only fans the athletic department wants to keep out are the lying frauds who try to pass themselves off as a Boys/Girls club.
