Iowa's visitor's locker room is pink:

I still have no idea what Farm93 was talking about. Who was upset about that before the game?

Did any of you actually see the pregame?  The story was harmless fun.  I don't have the exact script in front of me, but essentially it went this way.

Our two announcers played that smart and clueless back and forth thing.  The clueless one noted that Stanford has been to 3 of the last 4 bowl games while Iowa has not been here in 25 years.  (Uneasiness in Iowa section, but they let it go)

For Stanford this Rose Bowl is essentially a second home.  So the clueless one decided that since Iowa was the visiting unfamiliar ground he would paint the visitor locker room pink.  Why pink?  Because that is what they do at (insert Iowa's Stadium name) for the visitor's locker room.  (Iowa fans cheer the reference to their stadium)

Then smart one points out that Stanford is the visitor.  The clueless one points out that painting it pink really is not a big deal and notes the flawed thinking related to stereotypes and perceptions of gender, etc.  (Boooo!!!  Boooo!!!!)
