Hope Michigan and the Big Ten roll them on Monday!
Classless? Don't you say goodbye to someone when they are leaving for home?
UConn Fans are classless….

Hurley sure wins a lot. He is to coaching what his brother was to being a player.
Illannoy fans are scum. I frankly love it. To heck with em.
The U Conn fans were basically doing this directly in the faces of Illini fans:
Iowa fans were just celebrating in the incident you brought up. No direct interaction with Minnesota fans.
Apples and oranges.
You are viewing it the way you want.
At the 2016 NLCS game 5...I watched Cubs fans dance on Dodgers flags in Dodgers stadium and have plenty to say to Dodgers fans passing by.
...and you are viewing it the way you want.
You keep bringing up direct mockery in the faces of the the opposing fans.
I submit that that is different.
And you, as an Iowa fan, have a problem with the hilarious 2002 Iowa fans tearing down the Metrodome goal post incident? It still sticks in your craw?? And you're an Iowa fan???
So you think that some fans waiving good bye is more classless than anything I have brought up?
I don't think any of it is classless. I think it's fans having a good time. But the UConn example above is so mid compared to thousands of other examples is is hilarious that this video some how shows UConn fans as classless.
Most of the incidents you are bringing up are indeed going too far, I agree.
I'm not a fan of in your face mockery directly aimed at rival fans. Nor intentional disrespect of your opponent and/or opposing fans, and thinking that's a form of "celebration."
The 2002 Metrodome goalpost incident was not that, and therefore was different, and not as bad. IMHO.
Agree to disagree.

At least it happened to Illinois fans. That doesn’t bother me as much.
He's the grandson of a cop. His father, Bob Hurley Sr., was a legendary head coach in Jersey City.
We already have FranCon. It's high time to propose a Fleck-University of Connecticut-Rating Scale(F-UC-RS) for coaches.
I knew he was a legendary coach, Miracle of St Anthony’s one of the best sports books ever written. I just had thought he was a cop but it’s been awhile since I read it. My bad!
For one game we can overlook all that. Hurley's a total douche but fitting for the school and the whole state of Connecticut, a bunch of snobs who believe they are all that. I DEMAND that Michigan crush them like they did Arizona.
Young son and I watched new coach Steve Alford lead teh Hawks over then top-ranked UConn in November 1999 70-68 in the opening game of the Coaches versus Cancer series at Madison Square Garden. Huskies fans were the rudest, most profane, most obnoxious a-holes you'd ever (not) want to meet, shouting in the bathrooms and hallways things like "Go back to the f-ing farm" or doing pig sounds.
Par for the course as I have a brother-in-law and his wife who live in that wretched state and are just elite snobs. They made decent coin in the insurance industry. Even my wife and her other brother in Iowa don't like them.

Personally, I always thought of the 2002 goal post incident as a classless and disrespectful act by Iowa fans, and it was shameful. Sure….most Hawk fans think it was funny…..but I suspect they would have a different view if Minnesota fans did that at Kinnick.
I was there in the Metrodome. I watched and laughed my *** off even though they tried playing loud noises over the loudspeakers to try and stop the Iowa fans. The same fans that drew a delay of game penalty for being too loud ... on the road!
OK.
I'm more bothered by verbal taunting disrespect right in the face of the opposing fan base. To each his own.
For me, it's all about: Is your main intent to disrespect the opposing fan base? That was not the main intent of Hawk fans, in the Minnesota goalpost incident, IMHO.

I don't call stuff like that "shameful." There are things that I consider shameful, but they are of a completely different category than any college football revelry.
First time I have ever witnessed a fanbase do that….so flipping off Illini fans (of all ages) and saying F you is having a ‘good time’?!?! LMAO. Sounds like you would be a good fit for their fanbase….

Spot on post - validates everything I have heard as well. This little video is just a small sampling of what their fanbase embodies.
For those of you defending their pathetic display of sportsmanship, maybe picture yourself coming down said escalator with your wife and children….would your family really ‘enjoy’ a bunch of opposing fans flipping you off, saying F you, and waving goodbye?
