The Nation's Goofiest Pep Band Is Absurdist, Hilarious
Sure, Harvard's kids were something. But Iowa State's band, and their ridiculous chants, are next-level goofy.
This is Iowa State's pep band, performing during the NCAA tournament. Like any good pep band, they don't just play instruments — they also harass the opposing team.

And during Iowa State's second-round tournament game against Ohio State, the band has been unleashing some primo chants during Ohio State free throws. See if you can figure out what they're saying here.
The answer?
First free throw: "You're shooting a greasy bowling ball."
Second free throw: either "Quiet he's shooting a free throw" or "Why are you shooting a free throw?"
USA Today's Mike Lopresti has a few more, including my personal favorite, "There is no hoop."
Interestingly enough, opinions on Twitter are very mixed.
Some people are ready to freak out:

A Bad Call And A Buzzer-Beater Sends Ohio State To The Sweet 16
Aaron Craft does it on both ends of the floor, including earning a questionable-at-best charging call, to help Ohio State beat Iowa State.
The Round of 32 match-up between #2 Ohio State and #10 Iowa State went down to the very end. The turning point for Ohio State came when, down by one, Aaron Craft earned a charging call here.

Iowa State's bench was livid. If this had been ruled a blocking foul, it would've meant two points plus the chance for one more, which would have put ISU up four.

And, upon closer look, they should have been angry: Craft's foot was hovering above the restricted-area line, and if a player's feet are on or above the line, it's a blocking foul.

In the minute following the "charge," Ohio State hit a free throw to tie it up. The game then went down to a last possession for OSU when Craft, who had struggled offensively for much of the game, took over.
