Michigan QB Devin Gardner Says Iowa Fans "Are Just So Annoying" But He Likes The Pink Locker Room
QC Times- Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner calls Iowa’s pink visitor’s locker room at Kinnick Stadium one of the best in the Big Ten, but the senior calls Hawkeye fans “annoying.’’ In an interview with satellite radio’s SiriusXM and hosts Mark Packer and Dan Hawkins, the Wolverines senior was asked what he thought was the toughest road venue in the Big Ten. “I don’t know if it’s the toughest place, but the most annoying place was probably Iowa,’’ Gardner said. “… The pink locker room’s spacious. I don’t care about the color, it has a lot of space, so I think that’s the best locker room for an away team. But, the fans are just so annoying, just right on top of you, right behind your bench. You hear everything they’re saying.’’ Iowa defeated Michigan twice at Kinnick Stadium during Gardner’s career, winning 24-16 in 2011 and 24-21 last season. The teams do not meet this year.
Cool story, Devin. Could you tell it again? It was that good. Like Shakespeare penned it himself. This is big talk coming from a guy who never has to step foot inside Kinnick Stadium to play another football game. Talking shit when you never have to see those fans ever again is kind of a bitch move. And by “kind of” I of course mean it’s a huge bitch move. But tell us more about how Iowa fans took out so much real estate in your head that you consider us “annoying”and that you went 0-2 during your career here. We’ll take that as nothing but a compliment. And maybe Devin meant it that way? The reporter did ask him what was the toughest venue in the Big Ten to play at and that’s when he went on about Iowa fans being annoying. Either way, no matter how he actually meant it, we Hawkeye fans accept his compliment with open arms. We like hearing that fans sitting right behind the visitors bench are getting in player’s ear hole and rattling them. Nothing makes me happier actually. If you’ve ever been to Kinnick in your life then you know it’s one of the best college football venues in America and it gets crazy loud in there. Fact.* I’d also like to thank Devin for his compliments about the pink visitors locker room. I’ve never been in there but it’s nice to hear that it’s spacious.
*Ya know, when we don’t have to hold illegal lotteries for free tuition to get the place to sell out. But that’s neither here nor there.
Guys, 8 days.
