Iowa State Fans Encouraged to Kneel During Sweet Caroline

Just weeks after revamping the football team’s entrance into Jack Trice Stadium, Matt Campbell is looking to put an end to another one of the staples from the Paul Rhoads era, the “Sweet Caroline Curse”.

The head football coach is asking fans, players, and even the intimidating Per Mar security team, to take a stand by kneeling during the playing of Sweet Caroline Thursday evening.

If you are unfamiliar with the “Sweet Caroline Curse” this GIF sums it up quite spectacularly.

If that doesn’t help you understand this Neil Diamond hex then this image certainly will.
