I mean, it was pretty complimentary of them to me.  They basically said the Iowa band was fun and they would want to be their rival.  Yes they hit on corn and cow-tipping and general farmer stuff, but it's Iowa, that's the obvious fun stereotype you go for there.  As someone pointed out elsewhere, Iowa has an "America Needs Farmers" sticker on their helmets, so it's not like we really going out into left field with that one.

Perhaps the irony was lost on the Hawkeyes: a band representing a school nicknamed The Farm making fun of a farm state.

How many people in the state of Iowa do you think know that the school's nickname is "The Farm".  Hell, how many people outside of Stanford know that?  I mean, it gets mentioned publicly, but I wouldn't expect any non-alum to pay attention to that bit of trivia.
