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!!!!)

Which is more mocking ourselves and the whole west-coast elite saying things like "heteronormative" and "patriarchal", but I guess maybe it came across as us really thinking that and lecturing them?  I dunno.  Just like our references to non-GMO and free range were more mocking the whole California stereotype.

Yeah, maybe they didn't realize that announcer 2 asking if the corn was non-GMO was a playful jab at the Bay Area and California and not a lecture on agricultural science.  Of course, to not realize that implies having no sense of humor :P

I missed pre-game, nice to hear it was also both relevant to the Iowa team, but benign.
