For what it’s worth, that thread is gold:

"They ARE the basketball capital of the world, but it's weird that they say it."

Lol, I love the enthusiasm here. Usually you are fairly pragmatic but this time I think your national flag blue glasses colored your vision just a bit. I’m not sure that this is a windmill I would bother tilting at if I were the school.

Disagree. There is no place for someone to publicly state they were assaulted and injured, potentially deterring someone from wanting to go to the Rent, when they admitted to the police they just tripped. None.

My “pragmatism” is that I would drop the suit immediately for a public retraction and apology. Frankly, the behavior is outrageous enough that I also would have written ISU and demanded an apology from the school. He wasn’t a fan — he was part of the traveling party and the school should be responsible for intentional tortious behavior by its traveling party.

kinda spot on, actually:

That’s a smart, measured Lawyerly strategy. Kudos, BL.

Adubs strategy is this:

Throw that pigeon f$&@3r down the stairs again.

I'm thinking more that the guy may suspect he was shoved but might not know for sure, because it's possible he just tripped, and the police couldn't do much about it in that case (or if he couldn't point to a guilty party), so they just went with "tripped." I don't remember this incident myself, and can't recall the Iowa State mascot's costume, so I don't know if it's the kind of outfit that makes it hard to move around or if there's padding that would make it unclear if someone was touching you. Does anyone know if fans in the area of the incident were interviewed?

I loved that one!

Very bad, you don't want to know. Plus, you're older than 12.

I’d go over to their forum and post that the weirdest thing is fan’s checking out other fan base forums.

Yeah but they need to kiss our ring(s).

Hmmmm!

It's a fun thread, but surprisingly little commentary or analysis of the teams or players.

Reading the Iowa State message board gets me all fired up for tonight. Quoting the title of another thread from earlier this week “We’re good”! Others are taking notice and seem to agree.

Credit to ISU fans, you know a rivalry is pretty good when another fanbase (allegedly) breaks your arm and still only makes it to No. 2 of your most hated fanbase.

I found the comments about University of Iowa to be humorous. Iowa has always been a hot shooting team until they are guarded. Apparently that's how ISU fans think of Iowa as well.

Also, the 99 Iowa team we played in the NCAA may of been the most blatantly dirty team we have ever played. That wasn't discussed in the thread, just my opinion.

I like watercraft full of D-bags definition best.

We had a lot of good interactions with that board in 14 ahead of the MSG matchup. Nice fanbase, they had a few solid posters venture over here in those days.

Mascot gets injured at a game. School sues injured mascot. Not a good look. I think you defer to your PR guy on this one counselor.

They sound like a bunch of 5th graders. We, are more like 8th graders.

UConn coming away with two titles will make some noise.

I can't say I disagree with that last sentence if he's describing the Boneyard.
