Should submit this to the Trombone Line leader. Clearly this person isn't doing things the Herkie Way.
And she says Nebraska’s the only team that didn’t wave, which means she looked at the opposing team for every home game.

People have posted photos of Iowa players not waving as well. At least she tried but this blew up in her face terribly

Can you even see the hospital from the visitor sideline?

Its a very cool tradition and I would very much so hope that our players participated however... If they choose not to, then that is within their right.
I always thought it was more for the fans.
If you look at other tweets, she clearly dislikes the Huskers and our fans a great deal. She wants to make us look bad and thats within her right.
I would suggest we give her no more attention, and hopefully she can get her degree and go get a job. My advice to her is to be careful what you tweet because some employers check facebook/twitter and there are a lot of Husker fans out there.

I was in the band at Nebraska, and there is a camaraderie among all band members and alums across the country. Back in my day, I was gracious and friendly with band members from K-State, Mizzou, Colorado, and Texas, even though either I or they were in hostile territory at the time, and they were equally kind to the Nebraska band. Bands all over respect and appreciate each other. I even worked at a sandwich shop with a former Iowa band member at one time, he was a good dude.
Having said that, from a Nebraska band nerd to an Iowa band nerd: this nutjob can go to hell.

OK, a little off-topic here, but do you know why the KU band still sings this song before games? Any knowledge of the history behind it, or why they still sing it when we aren't in the same conference anymore?

Technically she said Nebraska is the only team to visit and not wave, she didn’t say the Hawkeyes themselves have to participate
Iowa players hate sick kids too.

I had a few friends in the band when I was in school. Was it true that a few Missouri fans carried a piccolo player off in the mid 2000s?

Oh, you're about half a dozen tweets short on this train wreck of an accusation. Here's her final, final, seriously this time final take on The Wave.

Huh, I've never heard that before. Had a good friend in high school who was a lifelong Husker fan but was in the band at KU, but she never mentioned this to me. Kansas historically has a good marching band.
Maybe its some 100 year old tradition that will never die. Maybe we are still in their heads (I have friends from Colorado who still seem to think it is always 2001). Maybe they are so delirious from KU football sucking donkey balls for so long that they have gravitated into a collective form of group-dumbassitude. Who knows.

Was already gone by then, so I have no idea. But I will say that, even though the band was always fine, Missouri fans are the worst.

Best I could find is that some random band member started playing Hog Calling back in the 70s and it caught on.
