Wow! Just visited the buckyville message board, talk about hate for Iowa. I know all fans have teams they dislike but the personal attacks on players is sad. They need to get a life!
Wisconsin fans

Who cares they beat us at home. They are Iowa's MSU (beating us 6 in a row). They have owned iowa lately.
Fans have been scum bags for decades so that didn't really do anything. Just need to get put back in your place of being a doormat.It's not that complicated:
You couldn't be complaining about me because I, unfortunately, could not make the trip this year .
You probably don't want to go into it in great detail, but I am interested in what happened .
Just went off on me, how crappy we are, pathetic, rubbing it in the final 2 minutes of the game. I kept saying it is not 1985 anymore and he didn't like that too much. Saying you were 0-18 in 1985 didn't like that either, I know you weren't but you sucked back then. It was fun stuff. We had an audience watching us go back and forth.
That's too bad. Friendly banter and team support doesn't bother me, but there is a line and obviously it was crossed. When I am in another teams facilities, I act like a guest. When I have visiting fans sitting next or around me (whether I am in Madison, IC or CF), I try my best to treat them as my guests.
Correct, I had to remind him he was in Iowa City and mentioned some lovely times are fans have had in Camp Randall from Wiscy fans. It was fun dealing with that guy, distracted me from our debacle.
This is old news. I've talked to many fan bases around the B1G over the years and pretty much there is general consensus that Wisconsin people are douche bags.
I think you are over generalizing. There are bad actors (whether by nature or temporarily due to over-embibing) in every fan base.
Winning is the key. We failed to do that so we probably deserve a little humiliation in our house. That being said, just ignore the guy(s) with the stupid comments. The more you respond, the more you fuel their ego.
Not right now they aren't. We all just got to see it on TV last night.
Oh my, those stinky Badger fans. How dare they have fun at Iowa's expense. YOU LOST. 6 straight losses. Man up and beat us on the court and maybe you'll shut those nasty Badger fans up.
As I stated, this is the general consensus from fans I've talked to around the B1G. What you say is accurate. However, some fan bases take it to a whole other level. While there are notable exceptions, you seem to be one of them, Wisconsin fans as a whole are dirt bags.
If it helps, I don't like a lot of Iowa fans either.
Yep. Wisconsin got Iowa at the right time. To their credit, they have gotten better as the season has gone on and Iowa has slumped big time.
Not according to Torbee he is on there a lot and says they like Iowa better than Iowa fans.
Your fans held up signs asking if we missed Uthoff yet? Uh, Uthoff has gone 0-5 against UW so far.
Your big center has raked our players eyes in the past and pushed off from behind the box out (to no calls) the entire evening.
Is it really surprising Badger fans had negative things to say about those two?
Lastly, you guys used to complain that BO Ryan got on the refs but Franny is ridiculous, he screams when everyone including the Iowa fans can see it's an obvious foul on Iowa.
In the end, you lost at home to a rebuilding Badger team, sorry.
It's interesting on message boards because every team's fanbase seems to be aholes ... I am in my mid 40s and can honestly say that I've been to countless basketball and football games ... in and outside of Iowa City ... and not once I have come to duking it out with an opposing fanbase member. I fully accept there are dbag fans in every fanbase ... it just seems some people sort of attract those fans into their circle like a magnet ... Meaning, they let it get to them more than it should or they actually let it escalate to arguments or physical confrontations ... Seriously ... I love sports ... but it's just a game ... So what if guy sitting behind me is rooting for his team ... Unless he punches me in the back of the head I'm not going to lose sleep over it ...
I attended the game last night and I was berated with profanity all night long from the people behind me. I didn't engage with anyone, yet I couldn't clap for a made shot or good defense without some snark comment being made. Also, I've never heard more whining at a basketball game than last night, it was absolutely ridiculous. Iowa fans are notorious for being whiners though, so it makes sense I guess. End of rant.
As far as fanbases as a whole go, all are tolerable. We let a handful of fans form our opinions on the whole, which makes no sense. Both Wisconsin and Iowa are full of good people, much better than the assholes out east like Maryland. I've been to many Iowa-Wisconsin games over the years and have never seen our fans being problems, or Iowa fans being problems until last night. Funny how that works, you don't confront people and they won't confront you. You are the problem if you think a whole fanbase is bad.
Your POS fans in Carver last night were just unbearable. Hero 55 year old boy needed to get his ass kicked back to 1985 when Wiscy sucked donkey.
you have never seen your fanbase be a problem? Seriously? Look, I am not saying Iowa fans are saints by any means, but Wisconsin kids are known for throwing objects at fans from their balconies on Campus. It's practically a rite of passage in Madison.
The kid in front of us stood up after every three, put his hands in the air and motioned to "come here" like a parent would to a child. He was literally asking to be confronted. No one did the entire game, but I honestly thought someone was going to do it at some point. The kid also was snapchatting the special needs people seated behind the basket and laughing at them all night. He was truly a disgusting human that I would not have felt the least bit bad if he was decked.
He didn't need anything, you didn't have to confront him. You're no better than him if you chose to engage. That would make you a POS fan too, congrats.
1) I've never seen anybody throw stuff off of balconies in years of being on a Mifflin Street
2) You're proving my point about basing a judgement on a few fans. You had a problem with 3 fans, there were a couple hundred badger fans in the stands. I could complain about the people behind me dropping f bombs with kids ears all around and call your whole fanbase the scum of the earth, but I'm realistic and know that's not an accurate representation whatsoever.
I havent either. Live in Madison, been to numerous Iowa games at CR, KC. Never had a single problem
Also Iowa fans calling out Wisconsin fans. Get the F over yourselves. Are there idiot Wisconsin fans? Yep. Idiot Iowa fans? Yep. I had a friend with me back in IC for a football game in the mid 2000s, got sucker punched in the face in the lobby of the Sheraton for zero reason other than the fact he was wearing a Wisconsin shirt. There are morons in every single fanbase in the world.
look, I'm not trying to get into a pissing match about whose fanbase is better or classier than the other. I even made mention to that in my post earlier, but this "there are no problems with Wisconsin fans" idea is foolish. Hayden commented on it a few times in his years at Iowa that walking through the tunnel at Wisconsin was a nightmare. I have stopped going to Madison for games, and even Brewers games as fans in Wisconsin are just unbearable with the harassment. This isn't some image that other fan bases are just making up.
Nobody here is arguing about whose fanbase is classier. Nobody here is saying that either fanbase doesn't have their bad eggs. Not one single badger fan that I know personally would be anything other than nice to you as long as you aren't being an asshole. Your fellow hawkeye fans, even ones who live in Madison, generally don't have a problem with our fans. That's all I have to say, as it seems you're about as stubborn and unreasonable as they come.
What I find amusing are the fans who jump on opposing team's message boards after a win to rub it in. How pathetic must one's life be to feel the need to do this? It's not like they played or had anything to do with the outcome yet they feel they are somehow superior because their team of choice won a game? I have never done this, will never do this and hope someone shoots me if my life ever becomes that pathetic.
